Devin Singletary Anytime Touchdown

Need something to get through Sunday’s Texans-Titans game? It’s yet another battle of backup quarterbacks with Will Levis under center for the Tennessee Titans and, in all likelihood, Case Keenum under center for the Houston Texans. This anytime touchdown scorer pick is a juicy one: I’m backing Devin Singletary of the Texans to score a touchdown at +230 — 45 cents better than DraftKings.

We’ll need Keenum to be on his A-game and get the Texans down the field for this touchdown bet to cash. Last week, with C.J. Stroud under center, Devin Singletary scored the Texans’ only touchdown. Fellow running back Dameon Pierce saw just eight snaps.

Pierce just isn’t efficient — he had run the ball 15 times the week prior, tallying only 41 yards. The books currently have Pierce’s rushing line set at 24.5 yards, so the thinking is we don’t have to worry much about him competing with Singletary.

The Titans are on a short week after an emotional win against the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football. They let up two rushing touchdowns alone to Raheem Mostert and rookie De’Von Achane, who recorded an efficient 6.7 yards per carry.

For the Titans to go from the Dolphins offense to a Texans-less Stroud offense obviously won’t be as challenging, but to get Singletary at +230 after he scored last week and in three of his previous five games is excellent value.
