The long await is over. The 2025 NFL season kicks off on Thursday Night with the defending champions, Philadelphia Eagles, playing host to their bitter rivals, the Dallas Cowboys. Expect a flurry of touchdowns, especially from the Eagles end, as they have the highest implied team total of any squad in Week 1. Let’s dive into our Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles anytime touchdown scorer bets, while you can also find out our experts’ NFL picks for EVERY game.
Cowboys vs Eagles anytime touchdown scorer pick: George Pickens (+225)
Odds available at Fanatics Sportsbook at time of publishing.
A new look Dallas Cowboys squad will take the field on Thursday Night, headlined by flashy wide receiver George Pickens. Along with Pickens, the Cowboys welcome a new run game and, more importantly, a new coaching staff. With CeeDee Lamb getting #1 corner assignments all season long, Pickens has all the makings of having a career year — presumed to begin on Thursday Night Football with a questionable Eagles cornerback room outside of Quinyon Mitchell.
As more than a touchdown underdog on the road, quarterback Dak Prescott is expected to pass a ton on TNF, ultimately feeding Pickens in a negative game script. Fanatics Sportsbook is leading the way in terms of offering the best price, but FanDuel Sportsbook is offering a 50% profit boost for Cowboys-Eagles — raising your Pickens anytime touchdown scorer from +220 to +330.

Cowboys vs Eagles anytime touchdown scorer pick: Will Shipley (+800)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Let’s get weird on opening night. All eyes will be on the loaded Eagles offense, led by Saquon Barkley and Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts. As stated in our Pickens piece, the game script will heavily favor the Eagles. They have the highest implied team total and now get a Cowboys defense that traded away Micah Parsons. So, we’ll take a shot at Will Shipley finding the end zone at +800.
Shipley failed to carve out a role last season with Barkley having 345 carries in the regular season, playing behind Kenneth Gainwell and being a rookie. Nonetheless, he is listed as the #2 running back on the unofficial depth chart, in front of former Green Bay Packer A.J. Dillon — who was nearly cut in training camp.
DraftKings is headlining their boosts with a 50% touchdown boost for Thursday Night Football. That, along with them already having the best price for Will Shipley to find the end zone makes this a match made in heaven. Using your anytime touchdown boost for Shipley will give you +1125 odds — a worthy longshot to bring the NFL season in.
