This week’s edition of Sunday Night Football takes us to Cincinnati for a battle between the Bills and Bengals. Can Joe Burrow stay hot and lead Cincy to another win? Or can Josh Allen finally take down Burrow and the Bengals? Here are our touchdown scorer best bets for the primetime matchup.
Buffalo Bills touchdown scorer best bet: Dalton Kincaid (+210)
In the red zone, Josh Allen likes to do two things: run it in himself or target a tight end. Allen has excellent wheels and a tight end's body, which allows him to barrel through to the end zone, something he has done five times this season. However, when he doesn't run it, he likes to target the big bodies in the end zone. Last season, Dawson Knox was the benefactor of that. This season, it's been the rookie Dalton Kincaid. Buffalo's tight end hauled in his first career touchdown pass last week against the Patriots, and it's clear that he's becoming a bigger part of the offense. In his last two games alone, Kincaid has 13 catches on 15 targets for 140 yards. His uptick in targets is also because Knox was placed on the injury reserve last week, so Kincaid is now the primary tight end.
The rookie will go up against a Bengals defense that has been terrible at defending tight ends. Cincinnati has allowed the 9th most receiving yards oer game by a tight end this season and the 2nd most touchdowns by tight ends. Just last week in San Francisco, the Bengals defense allowed George Kittle to haul in 9 receptions for 149 yards – by far the most yards he's had in a game this season. Tight ends appear to be Cincinnati's weakness, and that's an area Josh Allen is more than willing to exploit.
