Bengals WR Ja’marr Chase

Among the NFL’s standout skill-position threats, Chase has performed like a replacement-level weapon over two games. His ATD odds may have settled near the -125 range if he hadn’t. Per the table, he boasts the second-best odds of finding paydirt on Monday night.

Despite Cincinnati’s offensive concerns, Burrow and Co. should have plenty of success against the Commanders’ secondary, surrendering the league’s most EPA per dropback. Expect Burrow to target Chase early and often, particularly in the red zone, where Washington has failed to shore up its defensive blunders.

Commanders RB Austin Ekler

If Washington faces a negative game script, like its Week 1 loss against the Buccaneers, Ekler may have a greater role in the early-down offense. Ekler has already been the more efficient running back inside the opponent’s 20-yard line, eclipsing Brian Robinson by 4.3 yards per carry.

After dealing with an ankle sprain throughout 2023, Ekler looks revitalized in Kliff Kingsbury’s first run as the Commanders’ offensive coordinator. His quick-twitch prowess could finally pay off with a score, especially against a unit that has struggled to cover scatbacks well in the passing game.

If you’re using pizza money for Chase, don’t put more than couch change on Ekler’s ATTD odds.

What Are first touchdown scorer Odds?

Like anytime touchdown odds, the first touchdown betting option has developed into one of the most popular player props across the sports betting industry.

Players are always stationed at plus-money odds. Given the exciting result for novice and hardcore pro football bettors, the hype with first TD odds isn’t surprising.

Passing touchdowns do not apply to first TD odds at NFL betting sites.

If the player you bet on gets hurt during the game, don’t anticipate a refund on first touchdown odds. Just like any other bet, risk comes into play.
