Betting touchdowns on Thanksgiving is almost as important to me as the stuffing. For the first game, I want to get off to a hot start, but as expected the books juiced the TD lines knowing everyone will be on them. So as a result, I’m getting creating for this Packers vs Lions game. Let’s dive into my best anytime touchdown scorer pick of the first matchup on Thanksgiving.

Sam LaPorta to score a touchdown + Detroit Lions ML (+250)
Line available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
I love the matchup for Sam LaPorta this weekend and with Jaire Alexander back, it will make it difficult for Amon-Ra St. Brown to find the end zone against this Packers defense. The David Montgomery odds to score a touchdown are putrid, and for good reason. He went off for 3 touchdowns in the first matchup between these teams back in Week 4, and we can expect him to get at least 1 on Sunday. But using that knowledge, I can see LaPorta getting one in the red zone as Green Bay lines up for Montgomery. At +250 with the pick parlayed with the Lions getting the victory, I love the odds we’re getting on this.
