Thursday's Best NFL Touchdown Scorer Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Rhamondre Stevenson – First Touchdown (+650)
The Patriots will lean toward the run all year with Jacoby Brissett or Drake Maye as their quarterback. Stevenson has been heavily featured; his 46 carries are third in the league, and his 201 rushing yards are fifth.
This can potentially be a low-scoring game so every red zone trip will count. They’ll look to Stevenson to get the first points.
Braelon Allen – Anytime Touchdown (+310)
You can't look at Allen’s increase in work and not notice. He had just one carry in Week 1, but in Week 2, he had nine touches. He also found the end zone twice.
At times, he looked better than Breece Hall, and more importantly, the Jets won. Do not be surprised if he gets an equal or bigger share this week.
Hunter Henry – Anytime Touchdown (+400)
Let’s look at who could score a touchdown in this game.
Analysts questioned the depth of Patriots wide receivers, and the position hasn't been a factor through the first two games. The dominating position has been the tight end, as Henry and Austin Hooper lead the team in receiving yards.
Neither has found the end zone, but this game could end it. The big reason is that the linebacker depth has gotten a little weaker. With Jermaine Johnson done for the season, the Pats will take advantage by targeting their tight ends. Henry will see Quinnen Williams.
