Steelers-Raiders Anytime Touchdown Scorer: Best Bet for Sunday

Pick by Danny Burke. Find all of Danny’s expert picks now!

It’s a bit risky to back a player who hasn’t scored a touchdown entering Week 6 as an anytime touchdown scorer bet, but there’s a tempting price and solid data to support the selection. I’m talking about none other than George Pickens for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Pickens has yet to catch a touchdown pass, despite leading the team with six red zone targets. His expected touchdowns metric is set at two, and this week’s matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders presents as good a chance as any for him to break through.

The Raiders’ defense has struggled all season, particularly against the pass, allowing 1.6 receiving touchdowns per game to opposing wideouts.

While Justin Fields has had some recent red-zone struggles, he clearly trusts Pickens’ ability there and elsewhere on the field. I expect the Steelers to control the game, which should lead to multiple red zone opportunities where Pickens will be eager to grab his first score.

Aside from the statistical standpoint, his odds of +250 are incredibly attractive. I can’t pass up this potentially lucrative opportunity with a receiver who’s overdue for a touchdown.
