The time has finally come — Conference Championship week. In the AFC, the final 2 teams are the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens. As for the NFC, it's the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers, and that's the matchup I’m focusing on here. Oddsmakers are expecting plenty of scoring since the total has been set above 50 points, and that has limited the value within the touchdown scorer market. Depending on the sp ortsbook, you can find 7 players listed with odds at +135 or lower to score a touchdown. Unsurprisingly, both of my two touchdown scorer bets come from those players.

Detroit Lions touchdown scorer best bet: Jahmyr Gibbs (+135)
Depending on the sportsbook, you can find Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery and Amon-Ra St. Brown to score around the same price. That's not too surprising since those 3 playmakers have been the key to Detroit’s success this season. But of those 3, one player stands out the most. Gibbs has become one of the most dangerous running backs in football in just his rookie season. He's a powerful runner with excellent hands, so has become another option for Jared Goff through the air. The Alabama product has scored a touchdown in 3 straight games and 6 of the last 7 games.
