Best bet: Jacobs anytime TD (-121):<\/strong> The price on this prop immediately caught my eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\nJacobs went on a tear in the second half of the season, scoring in 10 of the final 11 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a tough matchup, no doubt, but Jacobs has been matchup-proof all year. Plus, bettors get a playable line because of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Philadelphia gave up the second-fewest points per game this season (17.8), but Green Bay’s offence shouldn’t be slept on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Packers finished with averages of 27.1 points and 146.8 rushing yards per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jacobs’ rushing attempts prop is set at 17.5, giving an idea of how much volume the running back will see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If he’s anywhere around that line, I like the prospects of a few of those touches being near the Eagles’ end zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key stat<\/strong>: Since Week 8, Jacobs is tied for second in the NFL with 43 red zone carries and leads the league with 13 TDs, per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWild-card touchdown scorer picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Evans anytime TD (-108):<\/strong> Evans had another outstanding year, joining Jerry Rice as the only receiver in NFL history with 11 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe 31-year-old wideout was productive in all areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- 11 TDs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 71.7 yards\/game<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 13 red zone targets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
It’s worth noting that Evans missed three games with an injury, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Washington Commanders don’t have the best defence, either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They have a below-average scoring defence (23.0 points\/game) that got torched by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 37-20, in Week 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Evans had two TDs in that game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dobbins anytime TD (+106):<\/strong> Dobbins played in just 13 games (11 starts) but was productive when called upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe tailback scored nine times and was a vital part of the Los Angeles Chargers offence in his first year with the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His opponent, the Houston Texans, is better against the pass than it is against the rush. The Texans have an average scoring defence, giving up 21.9 points per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dobbins averaged 17.5 touches during the regular season and is sure to be heavily involved with a spot in the AFC Divisional Round on the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He possesses the ability to break loose for a long run and split the tackles near the goal line. I like this spot at plus money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
