Week 4 of the NFL season will come to a close with a highly anticipated Monday Night Football showdown between the Seattle Seahawks (3-0) and Detroit Lions (2-1) at Ford Field. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET on ABC.
Beyond spread and total bets, I'm looking at Seahawks vs. Lions props for anytime touchdown scorers on Monday Night Football.
Here are my two anytime TD scorer picks for Seahawks-Lions.
Gilles Gallant's Seahawks vs. Lions Touchdown Scorer Props
DK Metcalf Anytime Touchdown (+200)
Seahawks WR DK Metcalf has scored a touchdown in two of three games so far this season.
Metcalf and Geno Smith are really connecting this year on the long ball. He already has two TD catches of over 50 yards.
The Lions have given up the most passing yards and most receptions to opposing WRs through three games. They also play man-coverage at the 4th-highest rate in the NFL.
Well, good news for Metcalf, he is the most targeted Seahawk this year against man-coverage.
The last two years, matchups between these two team have been absolute shootouts, so I love Metcalf to find the end zone on Monday night.
Sam LaPorta Anytime Touchdown (+210)
Lions TE Sam LaPorta is finally back to full strength, carrying no injury designation entering Monday's contest. And he’s back home, which is another reason why I like him to score this week.
LaPorta scored 10 touchdowns last season, and nine of those were scored at home (all 10 indoors).
The Seahawks' secondary has matched up really well against wideouts so far this season, with only one touchdown allowed and ranking fourth in receptions allowed versus opposing WRs.
QB Jared Goff will likely to need to target LaPorta more moving forward. This feels like the right spot for him to score his first TD of the season.
