Giants vs Patriots Anytime Touchdown Picks
Theo Johnson Anytime Touchdown (+325)
Theo Johnson has five touchdowns this season, and with Jaxson Dart back under center, he should get a boost as all of those scores have come in the rookie’s seven starts.
Johnson leads the Giants with 12 red-zone targets. The Patriots are bottom five in targets, catches and yards allowed to tight ends, and they’ll likely sell out to contain Dart’s scrambling near the goal line, which should create opportunities for Johnson in this matchup.
Pick: Theo Johnson Anytime Touchdown (+325; HardRock)
DeMario Douglas Anytime Touchdown (+625)
DeMario Douglas’ stock might be at its lowest after he played 17% of snaps in Week 12, but this sets up as a strong bounce-back spot because he checks a lot of key boxes.
The Giants’ pass defense plays man coverage at the third-highest rate and uses single-high safety at a top-five rate, while also ranking bottom five in touchdowns allowed to wide receivers and bottom-six against the deep ball.
Douglas leads the Patriots in targets per route run (TPRR) against both man and single-high looks.
While he's a boom-or-bust option, this matchup gives Douglas a great chance to get a designed end-zone opportunity.
Pick: DeMario Douglas Anytime Touchdown (+625; BetMGM)
Editor's Note: An anytime touchdown parlay is not the author's formal recommendation. These touchdown picks have value as straight bets.
