If you want to see some points, you’ve come to the right game. The Detroit Lions travel to Texas to take on the Dallas Cowboys, and the game total is currently set at the highest number of the entire season: 53.5. A high total means a lot of scoring, so it wasn’t surprising to see plenty of players near even odds to score. In fact, there are six players who have odds of +125 or shorter to score a touchdown. Of those six, I 217;ve chosen two players as my best bets to score on Saturday night.

Detroit Lions touchdown scorer best bet: Jahmyr Gibbs (+100)
Jahmyr Gibbs had 5 touchdowns in the first 13 weeks of the season. The rookie out of Alabama gained plenty of hype in the preseason with the way Dan Campbell talked about his usage, but it took several weeks for Gibbs to even become a normal part of the offense. David Montgomery was the lead back and Gibbs was the backup for the first half of the season. However, times have changed. Explosive runs became the usual for Gibbs, and he's now getting the majority of the carries each game while also being involved in the passing game. That has led to Gibbs scoring 5 touchdowns in the last 3 weeks. He's run for 246 yards in his last 37 attempts and will be the center of the ground game against the Cowboys. When the Lions reach the red zone, expect Gibbs to get several opportunities to punch it in for a score.
