Round two of NFL Monday Night Football between the Los Angeles Chargers and Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium takes place. Kickoff is set for 9:00 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Beyond spread and total bets, I'm looking at Chargers vs Cardinals anytime touchdown scorers for Monday Night Football.
Here are my two anytime touchdown scorer bets for tonight.
Chargers vs. Cardinals TD Scorer Props
- Michael Wilson Anytime Touchdown (+380, FanDuel)
- Josh Palmer Anytime Touchdown (+333, bet365)
Michael Wilson
Anytime Touchdown (+380)
Michael Wilson is an underappreciated receiver in this league. So far, in six games, he’s registered two touchdowns – including one last week against Green Bay.
He’s the clear WR2 in this offense and he’s consistently seeing red zone targets – including four in the past two games.
The Chargers play zone coverage at a top rate in the NFL, but Wilson has done well against zone this season, with a touchdown and 20 targets.
Additionally, the Chargers have allowed three touchdowns in the past three games to WR2s and rank 31st in defensive DVOA against them.
Josh Palmer
Anytime Touchdown (+333)
Josh Palmer’s one of Justin Herbert’s most reliable targets.
With Quentin Johnston out, I can see Palmer receiving a bump in playing time. He even saw a red zone target last week after missing Week 4.
The Cardinals’ pass defense is horrendous, ranking 28th in defensive DVOA against the pass and allowing 10 receiving touchdowns which is tied for bottom-five in the league.
I expect Ladd McConkey to get some looks as well, but I really like Palmer to get his first touchdown of the season.
