The Green Bay Packers offensive game plan will likely involve getting Christian Watson involved early and often on Christmas Day.
With the Miami Dolphins defense ranking in the bottom half of the league in passing yards allowed, the Packers will look to exploit this weakness and get Watson the ball.
FanDuel currently has Watson to find the end zone today in Miami at +125, providing excellent value. Let’s take a closer look at why Watson is a good bet for this matchup, and be sure to always visit the OddsShopper tool to find the best bets and odds.
Packers-Dolphins Best Touchdown Bet: Christan Watson
Xavien Howard has had a subpar season as a cornerback for the Dolphins. He has been targeted 66 times and has allowed 44 receptions, resulting in a passer rating of 125.5 and an average of 15.8 yards per reception. Howard ranks 95th out of 121 coverage corners in the NFL.
Eric Rowe will provide over-the-top support for Howard, but he also struggles in coverage. Rowe has been targeted 36 times and has allowed 31 receptions, resulting in a passer rating of 108.6 and an average of 11.7 yards per reception. Rowe ranks 80th out of 87 safeties in terms of coverage.
Christian Watson is having himself a memorable rookie season providing Rodgers with a 134.7 passer rating and seven touchdowns. Before last week, he had a touchdown catch in each of his previous four games.
Bet on Rodgers in a must-win game to rely on the standout wide receiver once more today.
