Packers vs. Eagles Best Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks for Sunday Night Football (Buy a Miles Sanders Bounceback)
By Peter Dewey
Sunday Night Football should be a fun matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles, but the Packers are much worse than many expected entering this season.
That won’t stop us from finding value in the prop market, specifically on who will find the end zone in this game.
I have three players that I think can hit paydirt in this primetime matchup. Let’s dive in:
Best Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks for Packers vs. Eagles
- Miles Sanders (+100)
- Christian Watson (+145)
- Jalen Hurts (-115)
Miles Sanders (+100)
Miles Sanders has found paydirt six times this season, but he’s failed to find the end zone in back-to-back games after scoring in three straight.
The Eagles’ offense has struggled in those two games, but this could be a bounce-back spot for Sanders and the ground game.
The Packers allow 4.6 yards per carry this season, and they’ve also given up 10 rushing touchdowns in 10 games.
Sanders is still seeing a good amount of volume with double-digit carries in all but one game, so he’s a solid bet at even money to find the end zone this week.
Christian Watson (+145)
Christian Watson has officially arrived for the Packers, making eight catches over his last two games for 155 yards and five touchdowns!
Watson’s elite speed makes him a threat to find the end zone on just about any long pass, and Aaron Rodgers is clearly starting to find some confidence in his young wideout.
The Packers are likely going to be playing from behind in this game, so it wouldn’t shock me if Watson finds the end zone in Week 12.
Jalen Hurts (-115)
Jalen Hurts got back on track on the ground in Week 11, carrying the ball 16 times for 86 yards and a score against the Indianapolis Colts.
I think the Eagles may deploy a run-heavy attack against Green Bay’s tough secondary, especially since the team hasn’t been great throwing the ball the last two weeks.
If Sanders doesn’t find the end zone, Hurts almost certainly will, so this could be a hedge on either player for Philly.
