Eagles vs. Giants Best Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks for Thursday Night Football in NFL Week 6
A primetime, divisional matchup calls for some anytime touchdown scorer picks, but bettors shouldn’t expect a shootout between the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants on Thursday night.
The total in this game has dropped from 42.5 at open to 40.5, a sign that oddsmakers expect a defensive battle between these squads.
Still, there are a few players that I believe are worth targeting in the anytime touchdown market, including Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, who is set at a very intriguing price to find the end zone in Week 6.
The Giants and Eagles are both coming off of losses in Week 5, and Philly is looking to establish an offensive identity this season after struggling on that side of the ball despite a 4-1 start.
Here’s a look at the players I think are primed to find the end zone on Thursday Night Football.
Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook
Jalen Hurts Anytime TD (-145)
Jalen Hurts has found the end zone in three of his five games this season, although he did not score a touchdown in Weeks 4 or 5.
Still, the Eagles quarterback has four rushing scores in 2025 and is the key player in the most unstoppable play in the NFL: the Tush Push.
Hurts has run for 40 or more yards in three games this season, and he’s taking on a Giants team that is 30th in the NFL in EPA/Rush and is allowing 5.3 yards per carry (the fourth-most in the league).
New York has yet to give up a rushing score to a quarterback, but it has given up 132 rushing yards to the position in five games. I think Hurts takes advantage in Week 6.
Jaxson Dart Anytime TD (+400)
Through two NFL starts, Dart has 17 carries for 109 yards and a touchdown, rushing the ball at least seven times in each of his starts.
He’s clearly able to move the chains with his legs, and Brian Daboll even had a package of run plays that Dart was a part of early in the season before he took over the starting job.
So, getting him at 4/1 odds to score in Week 6 seems like a steal. The Giants are going to lean on their running game with Malik Nabers done for the season, and Philly has allowed 103 rushing yards and a score on just 13 carries against quarterbacks in 2025.
Dart is worth a look at such a favorable price on Thursday night.
Dallas Goedert Anytime TD (+260)
So far this season, Dallas Goedert has four scores in four games, finding the end zone in three of those matchups.
He’s been targeted in the red zone three times by Jalen Hurts, and every single one of those catches has resulted in a touchdown. Not a bad percentage!
Goedert isn’t the No. 1 option in the passing game, but he has been targeted 13 times over the last two weeks, including a season-high nine targets against Denver. The Giants defense has allowed five receptions per game to opposing tight ends, so this is a pretty solid matchup for Goedert on a short week.
I like the price at +260 for a player that has been the top red-zone threat in this shaky passing game.
Seahawks 'paying very close attention' to teams for potential trade markets
The Seattle Seahawks lost a thriller to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday and are now 3-2. With the San Francisco 49ers atop the NFC West at 4-1, and the Los Angeles Rams tied with Seattle at 3-2, the Seahawks could consider making some moves at the trade deadline.
After their week five performance, the defense has been propped up as an area the Seahawks could address. There have been trade rumors around Riq Woolen in the secondary, but regarding Seattle adding players, there has not been much buzz.
In a recent mailbag, Seahawks.com senior reporter John Boyle was asked what kind of moves could be coming for Seattle. While he didn't reveal any clear expectations, Boyle did allude to what John Schneider is working on at the moment, and it's an encouraging report.
Seahawks keeping close tabs on teams around the NFL ahead of the trade deadline
"I'm not going to pretend to know who or what position group the Seahawks might target in a potential trade, if they were to make one," Boyle writes, "But what is safe to say is that Schneider and the personnel department are paying very close attention to what teams around the league are doing and trying to decipher who might be available, and then looking at who could be a fit to add to the team."
This process isn't uncommon, and it's the expected one for a team like Seattle, which should be a playoff team this season. With a strong offense and solid defense, Seattle has all the reasons to be a buyer at the trade deadline.
Some positions on defense might be more obvious, like the needs at corner, linebacker, and safety, but the Seahawks aren't going to lock into just those spots.
As Boyle mentions, the Seahawks will be looking through teams around the league to see what players would be good additions to the roster at the trade deadline.
Seattle doesn't have any clear or dire needs like some other teams might have, but there are still plenty of ways to add to this roster.
With Sam Darnold looking like a top quarterback, the Seahawks have even more reason to be willing to buy at the deadline. For now, there aren't any concrete plans, but with the trade deadline getting closer by the day, Seattle making a trade or two wouldn't be out of the question.
As Boyle reports, the Seahawks are keeping close tabs on teams around the league for potential trade deadline additions. There are plenty of teams with losing records on the verge of being full-blown sellers, and Seattle might be buying, especially with their track record of in-season trades at the deadline.
