Week 6 in the NFL continues with the Bengals vs Giants on Sunday Night Football.
This contest kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC, and I have two Bengals vs. Giants anytime touchdown scorer props to target tonight.
Bengals vs. Giants Anytime Touchdown Scorers
- Tee Higgins Anytime Touchdown (+175, bet365)
- Theo Johnson Anytime Touchdown (+550, FanDuel)
Tee Higgins Anytime Touchdown (+175)
Tee Higgins is coming off a monster game in Week 5, where he was targeted 14 times and hauled in two touchdowns.
He’s also averaging 10 targets per game, which is more than his receiver cohort, Ja’Marr Chase. Along with that, he’s also been targeted in the red zone five times in three games played.
The Giants have given up seven passing touchdowns this season, with six of them being to wide receivers – which spells good fortune to Higgins.
With how bad the Bengals’ defense has been this season, I anticipate a lot of passing tonight from Joe Burrow.
Theo Johnson Anytime Touchdown (+175)
Rookie tight end Theo Johnson has been playing over 75% of snaps this season.
I mentioned before that the Bengals’ defense is horrid, well, they’re even worse against the pass. Cincinnati is 26th in defensive DVOA against the pass, has allowed three touchdowns to tight ends and furthermore, are in the bottom 10 in yards allowed to tight ends.
With Malik Nabers unavailable, Daniel Jones may have to spread the ball around to different targets.
Seems like a perfect storm for the rookie to get his first NFL touchdown, right? It’s still a long shot, but you might as well grab it at this price.
