Ravens vs. Titans TD Scorer Prop Bets
All props are from DraftKings Sportsbook.
Baltimore Ravens First TD Scorer: Lamar Jackson (+340)
Last week, the Ravens had what felt like 20 dropped passes. Therefore, no one should be surprised if Jackson doesn’t trust his pass catchers this week. More importantly, Baltimore has been a run-first offense this season, especially early in the games. The first Ravens touchdown has been a rushing score in every game this season. J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards, and Justice Hill have one apiece. Meanwhile, Jackson has scored the team’s first touchdown twice this year, leading the Ravens in rushing scores (four).
The Titans typically have an elite run defense. However, they got obliterated by Zack Moss in Week 5. The former Utah running back had 165 rushing yards and two touchdowns, averaging 7.2 yards per attempt in the Indianapolis Colts’ win. More importantly, one of his two rushing touchdowns was the team’s first score in the game. Baltimore lacks a proven running back on the roster. Therefore, don’t be surprised if Jackson has his team’s first touchdown in the game for the third time in four weeks.
Tennessee Titans First TD Scorer: Tyjae Spears (+500)
Four teams haven’t scored a touchdown in two games this season – the New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals, New York Giants, and Titans. More importantly, the Ravens shut out the Cleveland Browns two weeks ago. Therefore, betting the Titans to not score a touchdown at +750 is an appealing longer-shot bet. Meanwhile, Spears has seen his role on offense increase over the past few weeks. The rookie had 11 touches in Week 5, a career high. Furthermore, he had his first NFL touchdown last week against the Colts.
Baltimore has done an excellent job limiting running backs this season. They have given up zero rushing touchdowns and only one receiving score to the position. That one touchdown went to Zack Moss in Week 3. Tennessee lacks proven playmakers and has used the rookie more as the season has progressed. Spears has electric speed and can take any touch to the house. Don’t be surprised if he’s the Titans’ first touchdown scorer in London.
Anytime TD Scorer: Justice Hill (+240)
Unfortunately, the Ravens lost J.K. Dobbins to a season-ending torn Achilles in Week 1. Despite trade rumors, Baltimore has leaned on the duo of Hill and Gus Edwards. However, the former Oklahoma State star leads the backfield in rushing touchdowns with three. Furthermore, he has one more rushing touchdown than the rest of the backfield this year combined despite missing a game with an injury. More importantly, Hill scored the only Ravens touchdown last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Over the past few years, the Titans have had one of the top run defenses in the NFL. However, that hasn’t been the case this season. They have given up three rushing scores and one receiving touchdown to running backs in 2023. More importantly, Tennessee had no answer for Zack Moss in Week 5, giving up 165 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 23 attempts. Hill has been Baltimore’s go-to running back in the red zone. If any Ravens running back scores in this game, it will be the former Oklahoma State star.
Anytime TD Scorer: Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (+400)
No one expected the Titans to have an elite offense this season. However, they have been awful. Tennessee has only seven offensive touchdowns. Only three of those scores have been passing touchdowns, with Derrick Henry accounting for one. More importantly, both of Ryan Tannehill’s passing touchdowns this year haven’t gone to DeAndre Hopkins or Chigoziem Okonkwo but Westbrook-Ikhine. With Treylon Burks out for the third consecutive game because of a knee injury, the veteran wide receiver will see an uptick in targets.
Meanwhile, the Ravens have played well defensively all season. Yet, they have had a couple of missteps with opposing passing attacks. Baltimore surrendered two receiving touchdowns to Tee Higgins in Week 2, with the former Clemson star totaling eight receptions on 12 targets for 89 receiving yards in the game. Furthermore, they gave up what turned out to be the game-winning 41-yard touchdown to George Pickens last week. With the Ravens focused on stopping Hopkins, Westbrook-Ikhine might sneak past the defense for a big-play touchdown.
