Lions vs. Vikings Anytime Touchdown Scorer Predictions | Christmas Day TD Picks

David Montgomery’s usage has been a hot-button topic, with Dan Campbell consistently expressing his belief that Montgomery needs more touches while seemingly forgetting that he’s the one with the power to make that happen.

David Montgomery, RB, Lions (+140) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

David Montgomery’s usage has been a hot-button topic in Detroit, with Dan Campbell consistently expressing his belief that Montgomery needs more touches while seemingly forgetting that he’s the one with the power to make that happen.

With the Lions entering as a 7.5-point betting favorite, I expect a game script that benefits Montgomery’s role. The Vikings have allowed 12 rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs this season, and Montgomery has scored in three of his past four games.

Jordan Addison, WR, Vikings (+295) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

If Brosmer is going to throw a touchdown to anyone against a soft Detroit defense that has allowed 20 receiving scores to wideouts this season, there’s seemingly just as good a chance it goes to Jordan Addison as to Justin Jefferson.

Addison has actually scored more touchdowns (3) than Jefferson (2) this season, yet he’s listed at +295 odds at DraftKings compared to +175 for Jefferson.

Isaac TeSlaa, WR, Lions (+400) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

When looking for a longshot TD scorer in this matchup, you could do a lot worse than Isaac TeSlaa, whose involvement ramped up last week. The rookie logged season highs in receptions (4), targets (7), and yards (52) while scoring his fifth TD of the year.

It’s rare for Minnesota to allow passing touchdowns to wide receivers, but TeSlaa has found the end zone in three of his past four games and could continue to benefit from Amon-Ra St. Brown being limited by an ankle injury.
