With the usage Josh Jacobs has been getting with the Packers, it’s wild to think it took until Week 5 from him to score his first touchdown. Now that it’s finally out of the way, I’m looking for him to go back-to-back weeks of finding the end zone. Jacobs has a good matchup against the Cardinals on tap, I’m betting him at -125 to score.

The Packers have been a balanced offense through five weeks of the season. Coming into this game, they’re running the ball 50.6% of the time. A couple of games without Jordan Love certainly helped that number but Jacobs is seeing a very healthy workload regardless. His 19.6 touches per game ranks him ninth in the league, which puts him right under Derrick Henry.
Week 6 brings what’s expected to be a high scoring game between the Packers and Cardinals. As of Friday afternoon, the game total is currently at 47, which is one of the highest on the week. The Cardinals run defense hasn’t been good and this is a matchup that Jacobs should be able to exploit. Once in the red zone, the Packers have not been shy to end off the ball to Jacobs. He’s carried it 14 times, which is tied for eighth in the league. Jacobs also has six carries inside the five, which is tied for sixth in the league.
Bet Josh Jacobs anytime touchdown -125
