Jared Goff: 260.5 (Over -111, Under -113)
Top pick: Baker Mayfield Over 244.5 passing yards (4 stars)
The SportsLine Projection Model sees Mayfield, who is averaging 256.5 yards per game, smashing this Over on Monday. It has him at 289.6 yards in what could be a potential shootout. The Buccaneers have had some injuries at the skill positions but Mike Evans is set to return Monday and Emeka Egbuka is a game-time call. Mayfield has been airing it out regardless of the injuries and has gone past this particular line three of the six games he’s played.

Jared Goff: 32.5 (Over -122, Under -105)
Top pick: Jared Goff Over 32.5 pass attempts (3.5 stars)
Goff threw the ball 39 times in Week 1 but has had less than 30 pass attempts in every game since then. The Lions have found some more success on the ground, which has let Goff pick his spots. However, the SportsLine Projection Model has him at 33.5 attempts on Monday night.

Baker Mayfield: 1.5 (Over -164, Under +128)
Jared Goff: 1.5 (Over -189, Under +147)

He has 14 touchdowns on the year, highlighted by a five-touchdown showing against the Bears in Week 2. Goff has thrown two or more touchdowns in four of the six games he’s played, including the last three.
