Week 8 in the NFL continues with the Cowboys vs 49ers on Sunday Night Football.
This contest kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC, and I have two Cowboys vs. 49ers anytime touchdown scorer props to target tonight.
Cowboys vs. 49ers Anytime Touchdown Scorers
- George Kittle Anytime Touchdown (+145, FanDuel)
- Jalen Tolbert Anytime Touchdown (+330, bet365)
George Kittle Anytime Touchdown (+145)
This is going to be a very popular pick for this matchup.
George Kittle has scored five touchdowns this year, and well, we all remember when he scored three times on the Cowboys last season.
If the Cowboys continue to play heavy zone, Kittle will thrive. He leads the Niners in target share and is third in yards-per-route-run against zone coverage.
With Brandon Aiyuk out for the rest of the season and Deebo Samuel banged up, I expect Kittle to get another game with heavy volume.
Jalen Tolbert Anytime Touchdown (+330)
Jalen Tolbert has registered two touchdowns in the last three games, and his role has elevated significantly with Brandin Cooks out – playing 89% of the snaps in both games without him.
San Francisco’s secondary has been awfully tough against wideouts, only allowing five touchdowns.
However, while the Niners are third in defensive DVOA against WR1s, they’re actually 29th against WR2s.
All receivers who have scored against them have been secondary receivers in: Allen Lazard, Jalen Nailor and Tyler Lockett.
With that in mind, I can see Tolbert having a big role in this one.
