The Packers went into Dallas as an underdog of over 7 points and beat the Cowboys without much of a fight. Next, the Packers have a matchup with the #1 seed in the NFC, the 49ers. The total for this game has been set above 50 points, so oddsmakers are expecting plenty of points. With that in mind, let’s take a look at my touchdown scorer best bets for this NFC matchup.
Green Bay Packers touchdown scorer best bet: Aaron Jones (+105)
Aaron Jones faced one of the best rushing defenses in the NFL last week, but you wouldn't be able to tell that from his stat line. Jones pummeled the Dallas defense for 118 yards on 21 carries and he found the end zone 3 separate times. He was able to get almost all of the carries because AJ Dillon was injured and unable to suit up, and it seems that might be the case again since Dillon is still nursing a neck and thumb injury. That puts Jones in line to have another big day since he will likely get at least 16 carries against the 49ers.
Plus, oddsmakers are expecting a lot of points since the total has been set north of 50 points. Jordan Love put the league on notice last week against the Cowboys, and if he can have a performance that is somewhat close to that one, he should be able to give Jones several opportunities in the red zone.
