NFL Week 9 First Touchdown Scorer Picks & Predictions: Colts vs. Patriots
Tyquan Thornton
Odds: +750 (via Caesars Sportsbook)
None of the running backs were available in this prop market, but it does not matter. Tyquan Thornton is likely the best value, especially once other books come out with each of their prop numbers. Caesars typically has the lowest odds across all the sportsbooks. Thornton is carving a role in this offense, even though his stats do not show it. He played 78% of snaps last week, which was second behind Jakobi Meyers. He has blazing speed and is a threat with the ball in his hands. With DeVante Parker missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, Thornton is in line for another opportunity.
