πŸš€ Best Falcons vs. Vikings anytime touchdown scorer bets for Sunday Night Football

Here are my favorite Falcons vs. Vikings touchdown scorer picks based on the best NFL odds for Sunday Night Football.

T.J. Hockenson, TE, Vikings (+250) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hockenson caught three of four targets but for only 15 yards last week in QB J.J. McCarthy's regular-season debut. Much of the first half for the Vikings offense can be thrown out, and I expect a bigger and better game for Hockenson and others with McCarthy's newfound confidence following the comeback win over the Chicago Bears.

The Falcons held Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton without a catch last week, but Minnesota lacks receiving threats outside of No. 1 Justin Jefferson with Jordan Addison under suspension. The 6-foot-5, 248-pound Hockenson should be more heavily featured tonight, and I'm backing him to score his first touchdown since score five times in 2023.


Darnell Mooney, WR, Falcons (+290) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mooney missed last week's Falcons home opener due to a should injury. After remaining limited in practice much of this week, he'll play on Sunday night and provide Atlanta with a true No. 2 option opposite Drake London that they desperately missed last week.

Mooney scored five touchdowns last season with a career-best 9.4 yards per target. Second-year QB Michael Penix Jr. proved last week that he can throw a deep ball and just needs someone who can go get it.

I expect a strong connection from Mooney and Penix. Take the +290 anytime touchdown scorer odds from FanDuel over the +250 odds from bet365 for an extra $4 in profit on a winning $10 bet.


Kyle Pitts Sr., TE, Falcons (+380) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

We're getting long-shot odds of +380 for Pitts to score tonight, even after last week's performance in which he caught seven of eight targets for 59 yards.

Pitts played a larger role last week with Mooney sidelined and London leaving the game due to his own injury. While their presence tonight in prime time should mean less volume for Pitts against the Vikings, it should help create more high-quality looks from Penix, especially in the red zone.
