NFL Week 9 First Touchdown Scorer Picks & Predictions: Raiders vs. Jaguars
Evan Engram
Odds: +1400 (via BetMGM)
In the opening quarter, Jacksonville has been a solid team, as they have outscored opponents 49 to 14 this season. The Raiders tend to get beat through the air, as they have allowed just six rushing TDs this season and 15 passing TDs. Since Week 5, Evan Engram has also been one of Trevor Lawrence’s favorite targets. In his last four games, he has had at least four receptions and has tallied more than 50 yards in three of those games. Christian Kirk was the only player to receive more targets than Engram last week. Given how the Jaguars start the game, Engram is an exceptional value this week.
