Commanders vs Lions anytime touchdown scorer pick: Jameson Williams (+135)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing
The books have made it nearly impossible to bet on Lions skill players to score a touchdown. Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery and Amon-Ra St. Brown are priced at -230, -155 and -120, respectively. And those are the best prices when shopping around. So we’ll turn to Jameson Williams, who has been a staple in our anytime touchdown stories this season.
Williams has scored 8 times this season and has 17 receptions of at least 20 yards — ranking him in the top 10. But it gets better. He has caught a league-high 5 passes of at least 50 yards. Offensive Coordinator Ben Johnson has not been shy about deploying Williams on gadget plays. Now that we’re in the postseason, expect even more trickery from the Lions’ end.

Commanders vs Lions anytime touchdown scorer pick: Austin Ekeler (+250)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing
The Washington Commanders didn’t get much from starting running back Brian Robinson in the Wild Card round against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He ran the ball 10 times for 16 yards, with his longest rush being 5 yards. Quarterback Jayden Daniels turned to Austin Ekeler on a handful of occasions. Ekeler played 47% of the snaps and totaled 53 rushing + receiving yards on 11 touches.
We backed Ekeler last week and came up short. He had his chances with both a target and rush attempt in the red zone but failed to get in — much like the rest of the offense inside the 20. With the Commanders coming in a hostile environment as 10-point underdogs, look for Daniels to turn to the veteran out of the backfield.
