Falcons vs Packers Anytime TD Scorers: Best Picks and Predictions
Get used to seeing the Atlanta Falcons on your television. Thursday Night Football will be the first of three straight primetime games for the woeful Falcons, who have scored 16 points through two games. But help is on the way with Michael Penix Jr. slated to start his first game since November of last season. On the other side, the Packers look to build on their second-half comeback win in overtime against the Jets last week, as they host the Falcons at what should be an electric Lambeau Field for Green Bay's first home game of the year.

Falcons vs Packers anytime touchdown scorer best bet: Matthew Golden (+220)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Matthew Golden and Christian Watson have been the lone bright spots for the Packers' offense through two weeks. With little to no run game in the absence of Josh Jacobs, the Packers have relied on Jordan Love slinging the ball - though his completion percentage ranks last amongst qualified starters at 52.1%. Watson has stolen the show in terms of touchdowns, as he's scored three through two games, but Golden is right behind him in terms of target share at 26.09%. Look for last year's first-round pick to find the end zone for the first time in his sophomore season.

Falcons vs Packers anytime touchdown scorer best bet: Kaleb Johnson (+195)
Odds available at BetMGM at time of publishing.
We're looking at the Packers' offense again for our second anytime touchdown scorer pick on Thursday Night Football, targeting another second-year pro. Kaleb Johnson was traded from the Steelers a week before the regular season kicked off to help fill the void in the backfield. It's the most inexperienced backfield in the NFL in terms of career carries, so Johnson has a great opportunity to win over head coach Matt LaFleur. "Starter" Marshawn Lloyd fumbled in their win last week against the Jets, resulting in Johnson having a rushing attempt line of 10.5 on most major books - a clear indication that oddsmakers believe Johnson will be the bell-cow back in a likely positive game script.
