Primetime games have been a bit of a bore more often than not in the early stages of this 2022 NFL season, but that definitely should not be the case in the Week 5 installment of Sunday Night Football. We have on our hands a rivalry showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles, who are battling for supremacy – along with the New York Giants – in the NFC East. Philadelphia has the edge right now as the only 5-0 team in the entire league, but Dallas (and New York, for that matter) is right behind at 4-1.
With kickoff set for 8:20 pm ET on NBC, it’s time to take a look at the best touchdown scorer bets to be made for Sunday Night Football.
Dallas Cowboys touchdown scorer best bet: CeeDee Lamb, WR (+220)
Lamb has found the endzone in 2 of the last 3 games. In 4 career contests against Philadelphia he has scored 2 touchdowns. It doesn't take a genius to do simple math and realize that getting Lamb this far into plus money is a steal. And it's not like Cooper Rush at quarterback has been any kind of detriment. Both of Lamb's scores this season have come from Rush and the former Oklahoma star has been targeted 50 times through 5 weeks. He has not been targeted fewer than 8 times in any game. Although the Eagles' defense is stout, 6 passing touchdowns allowed so far is a healthy enough amount. Don't be surprised at all if Lamb puts 6 points on the board for the visitors on Sunday Night Football.
