We have an AFC showdown matchup in store on Sunday Night Football this week, with the Tennessee Titans taking on the Kansas City Chiefs.
With kickoff set for 8:15 pm ET on NBC, it's time to take a look at the best touchdown scorer bets to be made for this Sunday Night Football matchup.
Tennessee Titans best touchdown scorer bet: Derrick Henry (-110)
It’s rarely fun to back an obvious touchdown-scorer pick, but the Titans simply don’t have many options. With Malik Willis in at quarterback, Tennessee is rather limited on offense, especially in the passing game. This leaves most of the grunt work to Henry at the running back position, and he’s delivered thus far. The Titans lead back is averaging 4.5 yards per carry this season and has been especially productive in the red zone, tallying 7 touchdowns over the last 6 games. Kansas City has an average run defense and while I expect the Chiefs to contain Willis at quarterback, Henry should still see success against the Chiefs. Regardless of game script of if it ends up being a blowout, the Titans should feed Henry early and often in this one. I expect him to find the end zone once again.
