Packers vs. Dolphins: NFL Week 16 Touchdown Scorer Prop Bet Picks & Predictions (Christmas Day)
Packers First TD Scorer: Christian Watson (WR) +390
The rookie wide receiver has been on fire lately. Over the past five games, Watson has averaged 4.2 touches and 81.6 scrimmage yards per contest. Furthermore, he has eight total touchdowns during those five games, scoring at least once in 80% of the matchups. More importantly, the rookie receiver has scored the first Green Bay touchdown in 28.9% of the games this season, including three of the past five contests. Meanwhile, the Dolphins have surrendered 10 touchdowns to wide receivers this season, giving up the first score of the game for their opponents a few times, including two weeks ago to Mike Williams.
Dolphins First TD Scorer: Tyreek Hill (WR) +330
When the Dolphins traded for Hill in the offseason, they knew they were getting a superstar receiver. Yet, he has outperformed their expectations. The superstar receiver has been on fire all season long. However, Hill has been out of this world lately. Over the past three weeks, the veteran receiver averaged 7.3 receptions on 12.3 targets per game, totaling three receiving touchdowns during that span. Furthermore, he had that wild fumble recovery for a touchdown a few weeks ago, giving up four total touchdowns over the past three weeks. Meanwhile, the Packers have surrendered 12 touchdowns to wide receivers this year, including five as the first offensive score of the game for their opponent.
