We’ve got another three players going for the end zone this week with Kareem Hunt, Saquon Barkley and Antonio Brown boosted to 13/2 to score a touchdown by Sky Bet.
All three players scored last week and they’ve all got three TDs each in their first four games of the season so it’d be no surprise to see them hit the mark again this Sunday.
Here are the stats behind the selections..
Kareem Hunt – Kansas City Chiefs (v Jacksonville Jaguars)
The top rusher from last season, Hunt had a breakout game last week against Denver – and just in time as he faces one of the best defences in the league in the Jaguars.
The Chiefs have the best offence in the league though and Hunt is a threat in both the rushing and passing game - plus he's particularly good at home with six scores in his last four games at Arrowhead.
He’s scored three TDs in two games, and nine in his last eight games – with crucially two of them coming with receptions along with seven on the ground as a serious dual-threat back.
Antonio Brown – Pittsburgh Steelers (v Atlanta Falcons)
This game has the highest projected total of the season with both teams engaging in high-scoring shootouts almost every week – both have great offences but neither can stop the other side scoring.
That’s the perfect storm for Brown, who has three TDs so far this season despite the off-field issues at Pittsburgh – and has a great home record with six scores in his last six at Heinz Field and eight TDs in his last nine against NFC opponents.
Atlanta have defensive injuries and are already among the worst teams in the league for allowing touchdown passes – meaning Ben Roethlisberger should have a field day and Brown should be one of his top targets.
Saquon Barkley – New York Giants (@ Carolina Panthers)
The Rookie running back has made a solid start to his NFL career in New York with three TDs including scores in the last two games.
The Panthers are a stout run defence but they have allowed four rushing touchdowns this season and Barkley has already shown he’s got the big-play ability needed to find the end zone.
He’s the fifth rookie in history to total 100 yards in his first four career games and while it’ll be tough going against the Panthers he’s got enough talent to make it three TDs in a row.
