NFL Thursday Night Football Touchdown Scorers: Commanders vs. Eagles
(Odds Courtesy Of Fanduel Sportsbook)
Saquon Barkley – First Touchdown Scorer (+390)
Saquon in Philadelphia has become a great pairing. He's healthy, and he's putting up some of his best numbers with a career-high 110 rushing yards per game, 5.8 yards per carry, and a 53.8% success rate.
Washington has done well defensively against pass-catching running backs, and they have not allowed one to get into the end zone through the air, but they've allowed nine touchdowns on the ground to them.
Brian Robinson Jr. – Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+140)
The Commanders are getting Robinson Jr. back just in time. He's missed the last two games with a hamstring injury but will be on the field in this one.
He is in force in the red zone, getting all six rushing touchdowns inside the 20. Philadelphia has been solid against the position, but for this game, they might limit Daniels’s passing, especially with a scoring opportunity.
Zach Ertz – Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+320)
Who doesn't love a good revenge game? The former Eagle Ertz heads to his old stomping grounds, where he won a Super Bowl. The overall numbers for Philadelphia have looked good, but they've been getting burned by the tight ends recently, averaging nine targets over the last three games.
With those exceptional corners, Jayden Daniels will likely stay away from the sidelines. The Eagles linebackers are better against the run but struggle in coverage.
