The Atlanta Falcons and Las Vegas Raiders end the Monday night doubleheader in NFL Week 15 at Allegiant Stadium at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Beyond spread and total bets, I'm looking at Falcons vs. Raiders anytime touchdown scorers and have a pick for each team on Monday Night Football.
Here are my two anytime touchdown scorer bets for tonight.
Falcons vs. Raiders Anytime Touchdown Props
Drake London Anytime Touchdown (+150)
Drake London hasn’t found the end zone in four games, but for the season, has registered six touchdowns.
So why are we going back to him? In one word, volume.
London has hauled in 46 targets over the past four games, and is second in the NFL with 20 red zone targets with all of his touchdowns coming in the red zone.
Squaring off against the Raiders shouldn’t be a problem either, as the Raiders play a ton of man coverage – something that London eats like Christmas ham. London leads the Falcons with four touchdowns against man defenses this season, and leads the team with a 31% target share.
I think we see London end the drought and notches a touchdown.
Desmond Ridder Anytime Touchdown (+450)
Hello, old friend.
Desmond Ridder gets his first start of the season against his old team.
Last season with the Falcons, Ridder had five rushing touchdowns, which was good enough for fourth of all quarterbacks. He’s never shown to be a competent passer at this level, but his ability to scramble is what’s kept him employed.
If the Raiders manage to find the red zone, I think he’s a prime candidate to scramble for a touchdown.
Not to mention, if you like narratives, this is technically a “revenge game” after the Falcons gave up on him for Kirk Cousins.
