Week 16 NFL Props: Best Anytime Touchdown Scorer Bets: Amon-Ra finds the end zone
Week 16 of the 2023 NFL continues on Sunday with plenty of action to whet your Football apPetite. The slate includes a massive NFC North tilt between the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings, while one of the best Games of the day pits the Dallas Cowboys against the Miami Dolphins.
The Pickswise team has been absolutely on fire with their touchdown scorer prop picks throughout this 2023 NFL campaign, so let’s keep the momentum going! Here are my best TD scorer bets for Sunday’s slate, and also be sure to check out our full NFL predictions.
Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, DET (+140 at PointsBet)
The Minnesota Vikings are absolutely desperate for a win to keep them in the hunt for a playoff berth in what is becoming a wild NFC playoff race. However, the Detroit Lions are closing in on their first division title since 1993, and I expect Dan Campbell and company to lean on their strengths to do so. The fact of the matter is this Game will be played in a dome, which is the perfect setting for Jared Goff and this Lions passing attack.
Goff is a noticeably better QB indoors, particularly once the weather gets cold late in the season, and we saw him light up the Broncos a week ago to the tune of 5 touchdowns and no interceptions. In steps Amon-Ra St. Brown, who has thrived in the WR1 role as Goff’s top target. St. Brown has 7 touchdowns on the season with 4 of those TD receptions coming indoors. He just hauled in 7 receptions for 112 yards a week ago and I’d expect a similar target share coming his way with so much on the line. It helps that Minnesota’s defense blitzes more than any other team in the league, so Goff can be expected to get the ball out quickly in the red zone. I expect St. Brown to be Goff’s first read on multiple red zone snaps, so let’s take this number at plus money.
CeeDee Lamb, WR, DAL (-110 at DraftKings)
In what is likely to be the Game of the day on Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys are in a near must-win situation against the Miami Dolphins. Dallas has heard all week about its struggles on the road, but one player that continues to produce regardless of environment has been CeeDee Lamb. Even as the Cowboys were getting blown out last week, Lamb still recorded a touchdown to go along with 7 more receptions. This was the 6th straight Game in which Lamb found the end zone, bringing his touchdown total up to 10 on the season. Given that this is a massive Game, there’s no reason to expect Lamb to record less than 8-10 targets and we know Dak Prescott will find him near the goal line. Even at these odds, I can’t pass up on betting Lamb to find the end zone once again.
