Week 7 Monday Night Football Touchdown Scorer Prop Bets: Buccaneers vs. Lions
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
First Touchdown Scorer: Rachaad White (+850)
With Bucky Irving out for the foreseeable future, it’s White who's getting the lead back duties for the Bucs. This is a role he is familiar with, as he was Tampa Bay's leading back in 2023 and half of 2024 before they shifted the responsibility to Irving.
White has gotten a heavy workload in his last two games with 31 carries. More importantly, he's getting the opportunities inside the red zone, and in that span, he has three rushing touchdowns inside the ten. He also scored the first touchdown of the game in the last two weeks.
Anytime Touchdown Scorer: Sam LaPorta (+150)
We are seeing the return of Sammy Ballgame. LaPorta had a slow start to the year, failing to reach 40 receiving yards and five catches in the first three or four games. In the last two weeks, he has surged with a 10/147/2 stat line. He's proving to be the best offensive tight end in the league as he leads the position with a 100% true catch rate, is second in explosive rating (122.9), and third in receiving yards (323).
This is a prime matchup for LaPorta against the Bucs defense, which is allowing the third-most touchdowns to the position with four.
Anytime Touchdown Scorer: Jameson Williams (+165)
Williams is an exciting player because he has explosive play ability, and he and Goff can connect at any time. Last week, Williams was heavily involved in the passing game as he tied a career-high six catches, one of which resulted in a touchdown.
The Lions could lean towards the pass against a Buccaneers defense that leads the league in opponents' rush EPA (-0.236), but is 20th against the pass (0.136). The Tampa Bay secondary allows the big play, as their opponents' 6.7% explosive play rate is 28th.
