Lions-Vikings Anytime Touchdown Scorer Bet for Sunday Night Football
Picks by Danny Burke
Justin Jefferson’s three-game touchdown streak ended last week against the Packers, despite catching eight of 11 targets for 92 yards.
He’ll have a strong chance to bounce back this week against the Lions — a team he performed well against earlier this season, posting 7 receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown.
On the season, Jefferson has 10 receiving touchdowns and leads the Vikings with 22 red-zone targets, converting 15 of those into 118 yards and six scores.
Choosing Jefferson to score isn’t going out on a limb by any stretch, but at the price FanDuel is offering, it’s solid bang for our buck considering the production value he provides.

Switching over to the Detroit Lions, I’m targeting tight end Sam LaPorta for this matchup.
On the season, LaPorta ranks second on the team in red zone targets with 19. He’s hauled in 11 of those for 80 yards and five touchdowns, including six targets in each of his last two games.
In his first meeting against the Vikings this year, LaPorta was quiet — catching just one on two targets for 25 yards. However, a lot has changed since that game. The Vikings have regressed against tight ends, now allowing an average of five receptions and over 50 receiving yards per game to the position.
Look for Detroit’s big man to find the end zone in what should be an exciting contest.
