Thursday Night Football was something of a grind last week as the Chiefs labored to a 19-8 win over the Broncos, so let’s hope for more entertainment in Week 7 when the Jacksonville Jaguars tackle the New Orleans Saints as the AFC South visits the NFC South.
Both teams are in the hunt for the playoffs with the Jaguars coming in at 4-2 and the Saints (3-3) fighting it out with the Falcons and Buccaneers in their division.
Be sure to also check out our NFL Week 7 predictions, but now let’s take a look at my favorite anytime touchdown scorer picks for the Jaguars vs Saints game, where I’m targeting a wide receiver from each team.
Christian Kirk, WR, Jaguars (+240 at DraftKings/BetMGM)
I like the value we are getting with Christian Kirk, who has better odds to score against the Saints than Calvin Ridley despite being the Jaguars’ leading receiver in terms of yards. The starting receivers each have 2 touchdowns this season — fellow wideout Zay Jones also has 2 but he missed last week’s game against the Colts and has missed practice again this week.
