Week 17 of the 2023 NFL continues on Sunday with plenty of action to whet your football appetite. The slate includes Sunday Night Football between the Packers and Vikings, while one of the best games of the day pits the Miami Dolphins against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Pickswise team has been absolutely on fire with their touchdown scorer prop picks throughout this 2023 NFL campaign, so let’s keep the momentum going! Here are my best TD scorer bets for Sunday’s slate, and also be sure to check out our full NFL predictions.
Josh Allen, QB, BUF (+105 at PointsBet)
The Buffalo Bills have been desperate for over a month now, and they’ve been able to climb back into prime position in the AFC playoff race thanks to their ground game and defense. However, one constant on offense during this recent Bills surge has been offensive coordinator Joe Brady’s reliance on Josh Allen in the red zone. The Bills turn to Allen to dig them out of a hole when the chips are down, and he usually uses his legs to do so. I expect the same thing to continue on Sunday, as the Bills host the Patriots as heavy favorites with a chance to all but lock up a playoff berth. Over his last 4, the Buffalo QB has 6 touchdowns on the ground. He’s also found the end zone with his legs in 8 of the Bills last 9 contests. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Allen gets multiple carries in the red zone on Sunday, so this is simply mispriced at the current number.
Cooper Kupp, WR, LAR (+110 at FanDuel)
Over in the NFC, the Los Angeles Rams have been playing like one of the best teams in that conference over the last 6 weeks, and it all starts with the combination of Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp. This is one of the best QB-WR tandems in football, and it’s no shock that Kupp has 30 receptions and 3 touchdowns over the last 4 contests. I expect more of the same from the top Rams wideout on Sunday against a Giants defense that plays a ton of man coverage, a defense that both Kupp and Stafford have excelled against in their time in Los Angeles. Kupp also should’ve had a couple of touchdowns last week if it weren’t for a couple of off target throws from Stafford in the red zone. It’s rare that we get plus money for such a favorable matchup, so let’s take advantage.
