6 minNFL Brazil Game Anytime Touchdown Scorers: Can Saquon Barkley, Romeo Doubs Find the Endzone on Friday Night?
The NFL came back with a bang last night in Kansas City, with the Ravens and Chiefs going down to the last play and a loss by just inches in the end zone. We were fortunate to cash on Isaiah Likely at +550 odds earlier in the game before his toe just touched the line at the end. Thanks to the versatile tight end at heavy plus odds, our TD scorers are now 1-2 with a +3.5 unit gain on the season.
We now head to Brazil for another exciting matchup in a rare Friday night meeting. We'll be checking in ahead of every prime time game this year with our best anytime touchdown scorer bets. Tonight's matchup is packed with offensive weapons, so let's get into it with the top selections for Packers vs. Eagles.
It's important to note that the amount of touchdown scorers will vary greatly depending on the defenses and point total of each matchup. We arrive to this one with a 49.5 total that has bounced around between 48 and 51 in the offseason. I personally lean toward the over with some high-powered passing attacks and defenses that struggled at times a year ago, so I'm expecting a decent amount of TD scorers tonight compared to last night's Ravens vs. Chiefs game.

Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles Prop Picks
1. Saquon Barkley -105 Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Saquon Barkley finally left the New York Giants in the offseason after a tense few years of contract battles. The move came on the heels of two of his best years since his rookie season, and now elects to take his talents to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles parted ways with D'Andre Swift in the offseason, and will now hand over the workload to Barkley. His rushing attempts prop is set at 15.5 tonight, and we anticipate that he will be flying over that number in Brazil. Our advanced AI projections have him at over 20 attempts, and with that amount of touches, his probability of scoring a touchdown is over 70%. At even odds in Week 1, we have to hop on that edge. He will start his Eagles career with a bang, scoring at least one touchdown tonight.
2. Romeo Doubs +240 Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Romeo Doubs returns to a stacked Packers offense that is loaded with skill players. Due to various injuries, he found a way to burst onto the scene early last year, and hasn't looked back since. Doubs racked up eight touchdowns in 2023, and he's looking to improve even further on that this season. He has good chemistry with Jordan Love, landing the most targets on the team last year at 96, and was tied with Jayden Reed for most total touchdowns. With Aaron Jones gone to the Vikings and AJ Dillon out for the season with a neck injury, the Packers will be starting from scratch in the run game. Josh Jacobs will fill in the role nicely, but it will take some time for him to warm up and get comfortable. With a high total and changes to their top backs, the Packers will be focusing on the aerial attack tonight, and Romeo Doubs is the perfect candidate to reel in more receptions as the offense heats up again.
3. Christian Watson +210 Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
As we discussed above, the Packers are going to be throwing the ball all over the field tonight. The Eagles secondary was weak a year ago, leading to losses in six of their final seven games. While they revamped the team in the draft, two of their main defensive backs are rookies and they don't have much depth at the position with James Bradberry going down injured last week. It will be trial by fire for them, and they go against Jordan Love and the Packers who had the second most passing yards last season. Love has been on fire, and has a plethora of weapons to target tonight. One of those is a finally healthy Christian Watson, the biggest body in this Packers' receivers room. He stands tall at 6-foot-4, and underwent extensive offseason training at the NFL's hamstring research program to fix his recurring injury issues. After diving deep into the treatment, he feels better than ever, and is ready to display his game on the global stage. Despite his struggles, Watson still pulled in five touchdowns in just nine appearances last season. He's highly productive while on the field, and Love will take advantage of that by connecting with him tonight against a weaker Eagles' secondary.
