NFL Monday Night Football in Week 4 pits the Seattle Seahawks against the New York Giants in an NFC matchup. Seattle is off to a solid 2-1 start, having won 2 in a row at the expense of Detroit (in overtime) and Carolina. New York has gotten completely blown out twice (by San Francisco and Dallas) and has avoided an 0-3 record only because of a borderline miracle comeback against Arizona. Both teams could really use a win, as even though it’s early in the season this has the makings of a crucial contest for NFC wild-card positioning.
Who will find the endzone on Monday night? Let’s take a look at the best touchdown scorer bets to be made, and also make sure to check out our full Seahawks vs Giants picks.
Tyler Lockett, WR, Seattle Seahawks (+155 at FanDuel)
DK Metcalf may have more yards than Lockett, but Lockett has been Geno Smith’s favorite target – especially in the red zone. That is no surprise given how well the connection worked last year. In 2022 Lockett (despite missing 1 game) had 84 receptions on 117 targets for 1,033 yards and a team-leading 9 touchdowns. Through 3 weeks this season, the former Kansas State standout has 13 catches on 21 targets for 103 yards and 2 scores. These 2 teams also went head-to-head during the 2022 campaign and Lockett hauled in 5 of 8 targets for 63 yards and a TD. There is no reason why he can’t put up points on the Giants yet again.

Darren Waller, TE, New York Giants (+260 at FanDuel)
This feels like a great situation for Waller to really go off and start producing for his new team. New York’s wide receiver corps is terrible and running back Saquon Barkley is doubtful, so Waller has to step up. He should be able to against a Seattle defense that ranks second-to-last in the NFL against the pass, surrendering 328.0 yards per game through the air. They have also given up 5 passing touchdowns while recording just 1 interception. Although the Seahawks have not yet allowed a touchdown to a tight end, they are giving up the third-most yards per game to that position. Waller has already been targeted 20 times by Daniel Jones this season. If he continues to get opportunities, the former Georgia Tech star should be able to rack up a lot of yards in addition to finding the endzone.
