The Christmas Eve primetime game pits the Las Vegas Raiders against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite frigid conditions in Pittsburgh, hopefully some touchdown scorers will be coming to town along with Santa. Although the over/under is set at a modest 38 for Saturday night, with 2 of the best running backs in the business on the field there could be a decent amount of points scored.
With kickoff set for 8:15 pm ET on NFL Network, it’s time to take a look at the best touchdown scorer bets to be made.'
Best Las Vegas Raiders touchdown scorer bet: Josh Jacobs, RB (+125)'
When you can get Jacobs at plus money, it's a steal regardless of the opponent. Jacobs has delivered at least 1 touchdown for the Raiders' offense in 3 of the last 4 games and in 4 of the last 6. His hot streak includes a 2-TD performance in a 40-34 overtime win over Seattle, during which he also racked up 303 yards from scrimmage. He followed that up with 140 rushing yards against the Chargers. Also don't forget that Jacobs scored 3 times at Houston's expense earlier this year and twice against Denver. The Alabama product'has 11 rushing touchdowns in total for the 2022 campaign. Pittsburgh's run defense is good and just dominated Carolina last week…but that's Carolina. In Week 14 the Steelers watched the Ravens gash them on the ground to the tune of 215 yards and a TD. Count on Jacobs having yet another big day.
