Mike Evans is up against the Packers this week, and his receiving yards prop stands at 72.5 yards. Currently, the over bet offers a payout of -114, implying odds of 53%.
So far this season, Mike Evans has 62 receptions which is 17th among receivers. In addition, he is 12th in targets and has a total of 1020 receiving yards this season. Given their matchup against an inconsistent Green Bay secondary, I like Evans to surpass his line of 72.5 receiving yards.

Packers VS. Buccaneers Predictions
Green Bay initially opened as 3.0 point favorites on their home turf. The lines have shifted in their favor, now standing at -3.5.
An intriguing matchup to watch is Green Bay’s passing game against the Tampa Bay secondary. In their last game, Tampa Bay had difficulties containing Atlanta. I’m leaning towards Green Bay to cover as 3.5-point favorites.
