The Atlanta Falcons (8-7) and Washington Commanders (10-5) will face off on Sunday Night Football at Northwest Stadium. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
Beyond spread and total bets, I'm looking at Falcons vs. Commanders anytime touchdown scorers and have a pick for each team this Sunday.
Here are my two NFL anytime touchdown scorer bets for SNF.
Falcons vs. Commanders Anytime Touchdown Props
- Darnell Mooney Anytime Touchdown (+230)
- Olamide Zaccheaus Anytime Touchdown (+370)
Darnell Mooney Anytime Touchdown (+230)
Wide receiver Darnell Mooney is the Falcons' primary deep threat.
Although he has only 5 TDs, this should be a decent matchup to score. He currently ranks in the top 10 in the NFL for deep targets.
Last week, Mooney averaged 3.04 yards per route run with Michael Penix at quarterback. In a closer game, you can expect more passing from Penix and some deep balls to Mooney. They should take advantage of the Commanders defense in that aspect.
Washington ranks bottom 10 in defensive DVOA vs. the pass and bottom five vs. deep ball. On top of that, cornerback Marshon Lattimore will be out.
Olamide Zaccheaus Anytime Touchdown (+370)
Commanders WR Olamide Zaccheaus is poised for a standout performance against the Falcons.
Coming off an impressive two-touchdown game against the Eagles last week, he's likely to see an elevated role with WR Dyami Brown sidelined. Zaccheaus is currently third on the team in red-zone targets, leads in target share vs. zone and has the lowest average depth of target (aDOT).
The Falcons are a good matchup for him. They have allowed the most touchdowns to WRs this season (20). Also, they use zone defense at a top-four rate and are bottom-five in defensive DVOA vs. the short pass.
If that wasn't enough, this has potential "revenge game" written all over it, considering Zaccheaus played with the Falcons for four seasons.
