NFL Thursday Night Football Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks: Jaguars vs. Saints (Week 7)

by |

A very interesting cross-conference matchup to start Week 7. The Jaguars hold just a one-game lead in the AFC South, and you’re seeing the emergence of the Texans, which could keep this division competitive. The Saints have dropped three of their last four, but no one in the NFC South has created separation, so they could be in contention all season. Let’s look at some guys who could find the end zone tonight.

NFL Thursday Night Football Touchdown Scorer Picks

(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

Chris Olave (+185)

Olave is not having the season we thought he'd have after a breakout rookie year. He's getting the ball with over six catches in four of six games but has found the end zone just once. Today should be an excellent opportunity against a Jacksonville secondary that hasn't performed well. They've allowed the third-most touchdowns and sixth-most receiving yards to wide receivers this season.

Alvin Kamara (+105)

Kamara has been a workhorse since returning from his suspension, as his 25 targets lead all running backs since Week 4, and the 75 touches are second. He's also played three fewer games than everyone else, and is third on the team in red zone targets, with a 100% catch rate. Jacksonville is allowing the seventh-most trips to the red zone, so the Saints and Kamara could have plenty of chances. 

Christian Kirk (+240)

We thought Calvin Ridley would be the guy in the Jags receiving core, but Kirk is still Trevor Lawrence's favorite option. He's leading the team in targets in two of the last three games and caught a touchdown last week. Marshon Lattimore and the Saints defense could focus on Ridley, and Kirk should get favorable matchups.
