Titans vs. Cowboys: NFL Thursday Night Football First Touchdown Scorer Prop Bet Picks (Week 17)
On Thursday night, the Cowboys and Titans will square off in Nashville. This is a big game for the Cowboys as they look to hang in the race for the NFC East title. Tennessee, on the other hand, has little to play for — they’re likely to play it conservatively with injured starters in anticipation of next week’s Winner-Take-All game in Jacksonville.
With a total of just 39.5 points, this should be a pretty low-scoring game. That said, there’s plenty of interesting value in TD props for the game.

Titans vs. Cowboys: NFL Thursday Night Football Touchdown Scorer Prop Bet Picks (Week 17)
Ezekiel Elliott First TD (+340 DraftKings)
All year, both Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott have been torching opposing defenses. When it comes to scoring TDs, however, Zeke is a safer bet this year. Elliott is on an insane run, scoring a TD in each of his last eight games. He scored the first Cowboys’ TD in his last two games, and the Cowboys scored a rushing TD as their first score in each of their last three games.
Tennessee’s run defense has been a strength this year. Even so, given the Cowboys’ willingness to feed Zeke early and around the goal line, Elliott is a good bet to score first. For a more conservative play, Anytime TD at -175 is also a viable play for Zeke.
