Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably know Tom Brady and the Buccaneers are coming to Foxborough this Sunday.

To say there’s a lot at stake in this game will be an understatement. From a Patriots perspective, they’ll be looking to avoid a 1-3 start. As for Brady, well, it’s extremely likely he’ll break the NFL’s all-time passing yards record in the first half.

As if this game need another intriguing storyline, Brady looked to be battling a cold during his Thursday media session. Is the 44-year-old about to other his own version of the “Flu Game”? We wouldn’t rule it out.

Simply put, this is one of the most anticipated NFL regular season games in recent memory, so you might as well put some action on it, right? With that in mind, here are three prop bets you should consider making.

3 best prop bets for Patriots vs Buccaneers

3. Damien Harris anytime TD scorer (+150)

The Patriots’ running back snap counts from Week 3 made no sense, as Brandon Bolden (!) led the way with 29 snaps after James White went down with a hip injury. That was seven more snaps than what Damien Harris finished with.

Consider the offense had their worst performance of the season, we expect Harris to revert back to his workhorse role, with the likes of JJ Taylor and maybe even Bolden seeing some work in certain situations.

Harris only has one TD on the season — a dandy vs the Jets in which he broke countless tackles — but we’re backing him to find the end zone on Sunday vs the Bucs. He’ll be out to prove something after his shockingly small workload in Week 3.

Tampa Bay currently has the NFL’s third-best rushing defense, so we’d stay away from betting Harris’ to finish with a lot of yards. This should be a pass-heavy game for both offenses, but we’re fully expecting Harris to bounce back with a touchdown, whether it be a rushing score or a screen pass where he goes full beast mode again.

At +150 (bet $100 to win $150), WynnBET is doling out great odds for Harris to be an anytime touchdown scorer. Get on it while you still can!
