Ravens vs Chiefs anytime touchdown scorer pick: Justin Watson (+550)
Line available at Caesars Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has spoken very highly of Justin Watson with the news that Marquise “Hollywood” Brown will be unable to suit up on Thursday Night for the opening game of the NFL season. Coach Reid believes Watson is ready to step up. '“He’s always been a pretty big part of what we do.” said Reid. “That part won’t change. He’ll be in there running around, and even when Hollywood comes back, he’ll be in there running around.”
Watson is poised to be a catalyst not just for Week 1 but for the entire season. He registered a 90% snap share with the starters in the preseason. With rookie Xavier Worthy stretching the field with his blazing speed and Travis Kelce opening up the middle of the field, Watson has a real shot to find the endzone as the #3 option in the passing game. Major sportsbooks like FanDuel and DraftKings have Watson to score down to +400, but Caesars Sportsbook is kind enough to give us +550.
