Monday Night Football Best Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks for Vikings vs. Eagles
By Peter Dewey
The final game of Week 2 is in Philadelphia, as Jalen Hurts and the 1-0 Philadelphia Eagles take on Justin Jefferson and the 1-0 Minnesota Vikings.
Both of these teams were impressive on offense in Week 1, which could bring some value to anytime touchdown scorer props in Week 2 if we get a shootout.
Here are a few of my favorites currently at FanDuel Sportsbook:
Best Anytime Touchdown Scorer Bets for Vikings vs. Eagles
- Dallas Goedert (+195)
- Justin Jefferson (-125)
- Jalen Hurts (+130)
Dallas Goedert (+195)
Philly pass catchers are a bit volatile with the team’s run-heavy offense, especially in the red zone, but I like getting nearly 2/1 odds on Goedert in Week 2.
The Eagles tight end had three catches on four targets for 60 yards in Week 1, and it’s worth noting the Green Bay Packers saw their tight ends combine for six catches for 67 yards in a game where they threw for just 260 yards against Minnesota.
I think Goedert can take advantage of that for Hurts and potentially reel in a longer touchdown.
Justin Jefferson (-125)
The entire offseason we heard that Justin Jefferson would be the “Cooper Kupp” in Kevin O’Connell’s offense in Minnesota.
Well, Week 1 showed that Jefferson would be just that, as he reeled in nine of his 11 targets for 184 yards and two touchdowns.
Even though you have to lay the -125 juice, there is no better bet in this game than taking Jefferson to score, as he’s going to see plenty of looks against a defense that allowed 35 points in Week 1 to the Detroit Lions.
Jalen Hurts (+130)
The Eagles ran for four scores last week, with each running back (Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, Kenneth Gainwell) scoring once and Jalen Hurts adding another.
Hurts had 10 rushing touchdowns last season, and he has an uncanny ability to find space on the goal line. It’s also possible the Eagles run designed runs for him in the red zone, especially after Hurts carried the ball 17 times for 90 yards in Week 1.
Rather than take a shot on the running back committee, just roll with Hurts, who you know will be in for every red zone snap.
