We’ve got a banger on Sunday Night Football this week, the the Lions will head to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles.
While the reigning Super Bowl champions can essentially coast to a division crown at this point, things are a little tougher in the NFC North, where Detroit is fighting with Green Bay, Chicago and Minnesota for supremacy.
Still, let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. Not only is this article focused completely on SNF for Week 11, but it’s scope is even narrower than that. All we care about is who is going to score the first touchdown on Sunday night. Let’s break down the odds on the DraftKings Sportsbook.
Lions at Eagles First Touchdown Scorer Prop Bets
Amon-Ra St. Brown First Touchdown Scorer (+950)
Amon-Ra St. Brown’s first touchdown scorer prop is a reflection of Jahmyr Gibbs (+550) being his teammate, yet it’s still a little wild to think that the wideout only has the fourth-shortest odds to find the end zone first on Sunday Night Football. Like, do we know who St. Brown is? Since the beginning of the 2023 season, no one has more receiving touchdowns than St. Brown (30). The former fourth-round pick is also well on his way to setting a new career-high in TDs, as he’s already racked up eight scores in just nine games in 2025. St. Brown comes into Week 11 with a gargantuan 45.9% target share in the red zone — easily the highest rate in the NFL. He’s obviously not guaranteed to reach the end zone to open this primetime affair, but his odds sitting at almost 10/1 is easy betting value.
Dallas Goedert First Touchdown Scorer (+1000)
I’ll be honest. There’s part of me that wants to subscribe to the “squeaky wheel” theory on Sunday Night Football. After publicly complaining yet again about his role in the offense, and even suggesting that his fantasy owners “get rid” of him, it kind of feels like A.J. Brown (+850) is going to be peppered with opportunities in Week 11. That said, Brown hasn’t seen a red zone target in four of his last five starts, and he’s only scored three touchdowns through 10 weeks of action. Conversely, Dallas Goedert has longer first touchdown scorer odds than his teammate, despite a team-high 30.4% red zone target share and a career-high seven trips to the end zone in just eight games this season. Detroit is one of six teams conceding at least two opponent passing touchdowns per contest. The Eagles will score through the air and their TE is simply the superior bet.
