NFL Week 5 begins on Thursday Night Football with an NFC South clash between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons. Baker Mayfield is second in the league with eight passing touchdowns, doubling up Kirk Cousins, but they have the same NFL props for passing touchdowns at 1.5. Both defenses have been stout in limiting scores through the air, as each ranks in the top five in terms of fewest passing TDs allowed. That may make you lean Under with these Buccaneer vs. Falcons NFL player props since both teams could find more success on the ground.
Atlanta allowed three rushing touchdowns a week ago versus New Orleans, while Tampa has given up the third-most rushing scores. Thus, players like Bijan Robinson, Rachaad White and Bucky Irving figure to be prominently featured in TNF NFL prop bets.

Top NFL player prop bets for Buccaneers vs. Falcons
After analyzing Falcons vs. Buccaneers props and examining the dozens of NFL player prop markets, the AI PickBot says Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins goes over 226.5 passing yards. While Tampa has allowed an NFL-low of one passing touchdown, it hasn't been as successful in preventing yardage through the air game. The Bucs are in the middle-of-the-pack, ranking 16th in passing yards allowed despite two of the four QBs they've faced being rookies. Cousins should have all day to find open receivers as Tampa is sacking QBs on just 5.2% of dropbacks, the sixth-lowest rate in the NFL.
After struggling in his Falcons debut against Pittsburgh's top-five defense, Cousins has settled down, and it's apparent in his numbers. He's eclipsed 226.5 passing yards in each of his last three games as the chemistry he's developed with Drake London and Darnell Mooney is apparent. Also, the Falcons have rushed for fewer than 90 yards in three of their four games, so relying on Cousins' right arm will almost be mandatory. SportsLine AI projects Cousins to have 271.8 passing yards in a 4.5-star prop pick. See more NFL props here.
