Monday's Best NFL Touchdown Scorer Prop Bets: Ravens vs. Buccaneers
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Derrick Henry – First Touchdown Scorer (+450)
Derrick Henry will go down as one the greatest running backs in football history. At 30 years old, when most running backs are on the decline, he's still one of the best in the game.
The change in scenery has not changed his status; he's still a workhorse back, leading in carries, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. The Ravens are the only team to have scored the first touchdown in all six games this year, and Henry leads the team with four. This is chalk, but you can’t disregard the evidence.
Lamar Jackson – Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+135)
Lamar Jackson is already in the conversation for his third MVP. The Ravens have won three straight games. Jackson has thrown for over 300 yards in his last two games. One part of his game that has been missing is the rushing. He hasn't needed to run as much, especially with Derrick Henry in the backfield, but you still have to watch for it when you’re game-planning against him.
The Buccaneers have been unable to stop quarterbacks on the ground. They are allowing the fourth-most rushing yards and the most rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks.
Mike Evans – Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+125)
Baker Mayfield has found his home in Tampa Bay, as he's finally lived up to his potential. One of the biggest reasons is his offensive weapons. Mike Evans will have his bust in Canton with how the first 10 years of his career have gone. He's the only wide receiver to produce over 1,000 yards in his first 10 seasons, which is amazing for all the talent that has played in this league.
His size makes him the perfect target in the red zone as he towers over defenders. The fade route to the corner of the end zone has made him one of the best receivers in the game, and he should excel against this bad defense.
