The Commanders’ pass stoppers have been as effective as a wet paper bag so far this season, leaving the door wide open for their opponents to capitalize. In Week 4, our NFL touchdown picks are leaning on Michael Wilson to find paydirt for the Cardinals.
“I hit two of my three Week 3 touchdown plays, including a +500 Brenton Strange score and the gift of the season so far in a Lamar Jackson TD at +200. That moves me to +3.6 units through three weeks with a 4-5 SU mark,” said our expert analyst.
This week, the focus will be on fading the Washington secondary in a game with shootout potential, riding the hot hand in Chicago, and taking advantage of a great price on a running back who may see an increased role due to his quarterback’s uncertain status.
Near the goal line, the running back situation for the Lions was quite intriguing. ESPN Insider Jeremy Fowler pointed out that the Bears may give Johnson an extended look this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, who struggle against the run. If Chicago can sustain drives, Johnson could have a big game.
Johnson is currently paying +215 to score on Sunday, a bet our expert is confident in. “I’m playing for a full unit and would play down to +165,” they said. Additionally, Herbert is a decent handcuff option at +550 to score.
The Justin Herbert injury is a concern for the Chargers, but the quarterback’s toughness is well-known. The injury seems to be factored into the +160 odds for JK Dobbins to score, as similar props closed at lower odds in recent weeks against tough defenses.
Overall, our expert is confident in their Week 4 touchdown picks, and readers are encouraged to follow along as we break down the best opportunities for finding the end zone in the NFL this weekend.
