NFL Thursday Night Football Touchdown Scorer Picks

(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

Derrick Henry (+130)

Everyone is waiting for the king to be dethroned, but Henry is fifth in carries, fourth in rushing yards, and is still one of tougher backs to take down with the third-most yards after contact and fifth-most broken tackles. The Steelers are exceptional in the front, but they have allowed a rushing touchdown in two of the last three games and a touchdown to a running back in four straight.

George Pickens (+165)

Pickens has been their best and most consistent receiver in a season where the offense has sometimes been shaky. Last week, it was Diontae Johnson who led the team in targets, but it was Pickens who took his lone catch to the house. The Titans are solid against the pass but excel against the run, so the Steelers will be going through the air to try and score.

DeAndre Hopkins (+200)

D-Hop had his breakout game for the Titans last week with three touchdowns. The connection with Will Levis looks like the mayo on the sandwich Tennessee needed to get the offense rolling. The Steelers have been average passing defense this year, allowing the seventh-most passing touchdowns this year. Levis back in the lineup this week is a boost of confidence for this receiving core.
