Dolphins vs. Packers
Dolphins First TD Scorer: Jonnu Smith (+650)
Many thought Jonnu Smith would be an afterthought in Miami's offense this season. However, the veteran has stepped up with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle struggling. He has four receiving touchdowns, ranking second on the team behind De'Von Achane (five).
Furthermore, Smith is second on the team in offensive touchdowns. More importantly, the veteran scored his four receiving touchdowns over the past six weeks, including the first Dolphins' score in back-to-back games. Meanwhile, George Kittle had the first touchdown in the game in his matchup against the Packers last week.

Let's keep the tight end theme rolling with Tucker Kraft. The second-year tight end had two receiving scores as a rookie on 31 receptions. By comparison, he has six receiving touchdowns on 30 receptions this season.
Kraft leads the Packers in receiving touchdowns, ranking second on the team in offensive scores behind Josh Jacobs (eight). More importantly, he has had the first Green Bay touchdown in two games this year, including last week. Meanwhile, the first touchdown scored against Miami has been by a tight end in back-to-back games.
Anytime TD Scorer: Josh Jacobs (-170)
Last week, Josh Jacobs had three rushing touchdowns in the blowout win over the San Francisco 49ers, matching his career high. The star running back has seven rushing touchdowns this season, the 10th-most in the NFL.
Jacobs has six rushing scores over his past four contests, totaling at least one in all but one game. Furthermore, Jacobs had two or more rushing touchdowns in two of those four contests. Meanwhile, the Dolphins have given up 10 rushing touchdowns to running backs, the eighth-most in the league.
