Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season concludes with another Monday Night Football doubleheader, the second in as many weeks. The Tennessee Titans, looking for their first win of the year, travel to Hard Rock Stadium to take on the Miami Dolphins (7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN), who will start Tyler Huntley at quarterback. Since the announcement of Huntley under center, the line has shifted as Miami enters the match as 2.5-point favorites with a total score of 37.5.

Meanwhile, Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions welcome Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks to Ford Field in the second game of the evening (8:15 p.m. ET on ABC/ESPN+). Although they enter the game undefeated, the Seahawks are 4 point underdogs to the Lions with a total score of 46.5.

Betting analysts Ben Solak and Anita Marks share their favorite bets for each match, and you'll also find betting trends from ESPN Research.

Tips for the games

De'Von Achane UNDER 59.5 rush yards

The Dolphins offense is changing and will be using Tyler Huntley at quarterback this week. I expect Huntley to steal carries from Achane along with Raheem Mostert (who is expected to be back on the field Monday night). The Titans should be able to start strong and the Dolphins could play from behind, meaning passing yards will play a big role. — Marks

David Montgomery any time TD (-170)

The Seahawks have struggled to maintain their lead this season. Montgomery has typically turned down appearances for the Lions. So once Detroit gets into the red zone, expect Montgomery to get the call. — Marks

Jaxon Smith-Njigba OVER 49.5 yards (-110)

The numbers say DK Metcalf is the guy Geno Smith prefers to rely on when it comes to man coverage, which the Lions have at a top-five rate – but that sample is pretty small this season. Metcalf will spend most of his time on the outside against Carlton Davis III and Terrion Arnold, who are a much-improved outside corner duo in Detroit.

However, defending the pitch was still an issue for the Lions and this is where Smith-Njigba deserves his best. Expect a lot of dropbacks for Smith, meaning Smith-Njigba should hit that number even if he ends up with fewer targets than Metcalf. — Solak
