After a hearty Week 2 slate, we conclude the night with Monday Night Football, as the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles face off at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, with kickoff at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN and ABC.
Beyond spread and total bets, I'm taking a look at Falcons vs. Eagles anytime touchdown scorer props for Monday Night Football.
Here are my two picks for Monday night's game between the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles.
Gilles Gallant's Falcons vs. Eagles Anytime Touchdown Scorer Props
Kyle Pitts Anytime Touchdown (+260)
We all know Kyle Pitts’ career with the Falcons has been a rollercoaster since coming into the league in 2021.
Well now with Kirk Cousins at quarterback and Zac Robinson at offensive coordinator, Pitts could finally be a key receiving option for Atlanta. Last week, he played 92% of the snaps and ran a route on 84% of Cousins' dropbacks.
Philadelphia’s secondary tends to funnel passes over the middle of the field, which plays perfectly into the tight end’s strengths. Pitts usually lining up in the slot, so he could be a major weapon against a defense that ranked 28th in defensive DVOA against tight ends last season.
I also considered Drake London at +230, but I think Pitts is a far better play against the Eagles.
Jahan Dotson Anytime Touchdown (+360)
Wide receivers A.J. Brown and Johnny Wilson have both been ruled out of Monday night’s bout, so it’s next man up in Philly.
Jahan Dotson should definitely see more than the 42% of snaps he played in Week 1. However, it was encouraging to see that he ran a route on 24 of 26 passing snaps. The Eagles are going to need him to step up so the Falcons don’t stack the box against Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley.
At +350, I think this is a solid play. I'll bet the default WR2 in this offense.
