Penix also makes his season debut against a Green Bay defense that has created plenty of pressure.

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts Sr. 40+ Receiving Yards (+109)
Pitts has just one catch for 15 yards through two games, but Michael Penix Jr.’s return should give Atlanta’s passing game a boost. Pitts topped 40 receiving yards in three of Penix’s nine starts last season, catching 38 of 53 targets in those games. Green Bay also allowed Vikings tight ends T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver to combine for six catches and 58 yards in the opener, giving Pitts a favorable opportunity Thursday night.
Packers WR Christian Watson Anytime TD (+145)
Watson has caught three touchdown passes through Green Bay’s first two games and leads the team with 19 targets. His role could grow even more with Jayden Reed sidelined by a neck injury. Atlanta is also without top cornerback A.J. Terrell, creating a favorable matchup for one of Jordan Love’s preferred red-zone targets. Watson finished last season with seven touchdowns over his final eight starts and has carried that scoring production into 2026.
Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. 1+ Interception (-110)
Penix makes his season debut Thursday night at Lambeau Field after missing Atlanta’s first two games. He threw six interceptions over his first 381 career attempts and was picked off in each of his three full starts as a rookie. Penix’s aggressive downfield style could be tested by a Green Bay defense that disguises coverages and has already recorded seven sacks. If Atlanta falls behind, increased passing volume could create more opportunities for mistakes.
