Monday Night Football in Week 14 of the NFL campaign is a matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys. Barring a miracle, neither team is going to the playoffs. Nonetheless, the Bengals boast a high-powered offense and the Cowboys are a soap opera – so there should be plenty of entertainment in this matchup. Let’s dive into our Bengals vs Cowboys touchdown scorer best bets, while you can also find out all of our NFL picks for tonight’s game and every matchup throughout the entire season.
Read our full Cincinnati Bengals vs Dallas Cowboys predictions — our expert is on a 19-7 run!
Bengals vs Cowboys touchdown scorer best bet: Mike Gesicki, TE (+340)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Mike Gesicki has scored only 2 touchdowns this season, but he has been productive of late. The former Penn State standout scored both of his TDs in a November 3 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, during which he also racked up 100 yards. He caught all 5 of his targets last week for 53 yards in a shootout loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. One game before lighting up Las Vegas he hauled in 7 of 8 targets for 73 yards against the Philadelphia Eagles. Gesicki now faces a Dallas defense that has given up the 6th-most red-zone fantasy points to tight ends this year. The Cowboys have allowed 6 TDs to that position through 12 games. As such, this price is too good to pass up.

Bengals vs Cowboys touchdown scorer best bet: CeeDee Lamb, WR (+150)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
CeeDee Lamb is heading into a favorable matchup with a Bengals defense that ranks 27th in the league against the pass and has given up the 4th-most passing touchdowns (22, tied with the Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots). There is, of course, some concern that Cooper Rush is delivering the football to Lamb since Dak Prescott is out. However, Rush is a capable backup with plenty of NFL starting experience. And what do backups generally do? They look for the best and most reliable pass-catchers. Unsurprisingly, Lamb is averaging 11.9 targets over the last 7 games. With that kind of workload, the Oklahoma product should have opportunities to score — and I expect him to do so at the expense of a vulnerable Bengals defense. At +150, Lamb has great value to find the end zone on Monday Night Football.
