Monday Night Football owes us a good one after last week’s non-event between the Seahawks and Giants, and we’re counting on the Packers and Raiders to provide it in Week 5.
Neither team' comes in with a winning record, although Green Bay (2-2) will have higher hopes of making the playoff this season than Las Vegas (1-3), which has lost 3 straight games since what looked at the time to be a Week 1 upset of the Broncos — subsequent events have suggested it wasn’t quite as noteworthy.
Be sure to also check out our NFL predictions and Prop Holliday’s MNF player prop pick, but now let’s take a look at my favorite anytime touchdown scorer picks for the Packers vs Raiders game, where I’m targeting a wide receiver from each team.
Christian Watson, WR, GB (+220 at FanDuel)
Wide receivers have been the Packers’ main source of TDs this season, with 7 of their 11 offensive scores coming from that source and Christian Watson could maintain his 100% record after missing the start of the season due to injury. Last season’s impressive rookie had 7 scores in 14 games in 2022, but had to sit out the first 3 games this year due to a hamstring injury.
