Week 12 of the NFL season is here, and prop bets are available.
One of the prop bets is the anytime touchdown scorer, and another is the first-time touchdown scorer.
Here are some players who are expected to score a touchdown this week, with odds from the BetMGM online sportsbook:
Running back
Najee Harris, Steelers, +105
Although Najee Harris has only scored three touchdowns for the Pittsburgh Steelers this season, he’s still a strong option for Thursday night’s game against the Cleveland Browns.
The weather is expected to be cold and rainy, which could mean a lot of running for Pittsburgh. Harris has gained 493 rushing yards and scored four touchdowns in six career games against the Browns.
According to NFL Next Gen stats, the Browns are allowing 212 more rushing yards than expected, which ranks them fifth-worst in the league.
Brian Robinson Jr., Commanders
Brian Robinson Jr. has scored a touchdown in six out of his eight games for the Washington Commanders this season, including last Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles. He’s facing a Dallas Cowboys defense that allows the most rushing touchdowns per game in the league, giving Robinson a good chance to score again on Sunday.
Kareem Hunt, Chiefs
In seven games with the Kansas City Chiefs this season, Kareem Hunt has scored a touchdown in five of them, and he has had at least 14 carries in each game.
This Sunday, Kansas City faces the Carolina Panthers, and the Chiefs are likely to dominate the game, giving Hunt and the other running backs plenty of chances to carry the ball. Additionally, the Panthers are giving up the second-most rushing touchdowns per game going into Week 12.
Wide receiver
Jerry Jeudy, Browns, +300
Jerry Jeudy had an impressive performance last week, with six catches for 142 yards and a touchdown for the Browns. But that wasn’t his only strong game recently. The wide receiver has gained at least 70 yards receiving in three straight games and seems to have built a good connection with quarterback Jameis Winston.
Justin Jefferson, Vikings
Surprisingly, Justin Jefferson hasn’t scored a touchdown in four games straight, after scoring in each of his first four games this season. Even though he hasn’t scored recently, he has still been getting plenty of targets, with at least eight in every game for the past eight weeks. Jefferson could score on Sunday in a divisional game against the Chicago Bears.
Ladd McConkey, Chargers
Rookie receiver Ladd McConkey is having an impressive season with the Los Angeles Chargers, catching 43 passes for 615 yards and four touchdowns. However, he hasn’t scored a touchdown in the last three weeks. That could change on Monday Night Football when the Chargers play the Baltimore Ravens, who are tied for allowing the second-most passing touchdowns per game.
