In what could quietly be one of the better games of Week 6, the Cincinnati Bengals will travel to New York for a date against the Giants in a pivotal primetime matchup on Sunday Night Football. The Bengals are coming off a loss to the Ravens while the Giants have had a bit of momentum after defeating the Seahawks in Seattle last week. The handicap on this game seems to be a solid spot to buy Cincinnati given the Giants injuries, but that’s not what I’ll be focusing on in this piece.
Be sure to also check out our Bengals vs Giants predictions, but now let’s take a look at my favorite anytime touchdown scorer picks for this primetime game, which includes a pair of wide receivers.
Ja’Marr Chase, WR, CIN (+110 at FanDuel)
Ja’Marr Chase got off to a slow start over the first few weeks of the season, but the Bengals’ top wideout has been absolutely on fire in recent weeks. Chase tallied 2 touchdowns against the Commanders in Week 3 and followed that up with a combined 3 touchdowns against the Panthers and Ravens over the last couple of weeks. It’s safe to say that he and quarterback Joe Burrow are clicking at the moment, and the former LSU product should thrive once again on Sunday against a Giants secondary that has been a bottom-10 unit all season long. By catching 29 of 36 targets for 493 yards and 5 touchdowns on the season, it’s hard to turn down the value on this prop at the current plus money price.

Darius Slayton, WR, NYG (+210 at FanDuel)
With Malik Nabers set to miss another contest, Darius Slayton’s role in the offense should increase once again. The former Auburn product caught 8 of 11 targets for 122 yards and a touchdown in a 29-20 victory over Seattle a week ago. That success shouldn’t change against a Cincinnati defense that has already surrendered 10 passing touchdowns on this season. Only 2 teams have given up more to this point, so there’s reason to expect multiple Giants receivers to find the end zone. While Wan’Dale Robinson is also a good option at over 2/1 odds, I’ll go with Slayton to ride the momentum from his performance last week by finding the end zone again.
