Eagles QB Jalen Hurts vs. Ravens (Goblin)
Time: 4:25 p.m. ET
TV: CBS
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has a cheat code that makes him one of the best touchdown scorers any week, any time. He currently leads all QBs and is third overall in rushing TDs, simply because of the tush push.
The tush push has become a staple in Philadelphia and is basically expected any time the Eagles get inside the five yard-line and are close enough to try it.
This week the Eagles play the Ravens, whose defense is ranked 27th in fantasy points allowed to QBs and allow opponents to score a TD once they are in the red zone 55% of the time, which is middle of the road.
Hurts leads all QBs in red-zone rushing attempts and the Eagles are currently seventh in red-zone scoring attempts per game. Expect a tush push from Hurts and the Eagles at some point during their game on Sunday, in what’s expected to be a high-scoring affair.
Note: Goblin picks reduce your payout on PrizePicks, as they are easier projections to hit.

Bills RB James Cook vs. 49ers (Goblin)
Time: 8:20 p.m. ET
TV: NBC
Bills RB James Cook now has six touchdowns in his last five games, all coming in the red zone, after scoring twice last week against the Chiefs.
His opponent this week, the 49ers, are allowing at least one TD a game to running backs, which is currently third in the league.
Cook’s six red-zone TDs since Week 7 are second in the league during that period, and he racked those up while only receiving 18 red-zone carries.
Cook has been extremely efficient in the red zone as of late, which is why the Bills continue to lean on him when they get in close. That makes Cook one of the best touchdown scorer predictions this week.

Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. vs. Texans (Demon)
Time: 1:00 p.m. ET
TV: FOX
Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. is having a solid rookie season, scoring six touchdowns for the Jaguars so far. This week he’s coming off a bye and should also have his QB1 Trevor Lawrence back, who has been out since the beginning of November with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder.
If you’re willing to take the risk, Thomas one of the best touchdown scorer predictions this week, especially if Lawrence is back.
The Jaguars take on a Texans’ defense who is allowing 1.4 TDs to wide receivers per game, which is second-highest in the league.
Also, in Week 4 against the Texans, Thomas Jr. had one of his better games, recording six catches for 86 yards and a touchdown. In that game he received nine targets, which he hasn’t had since Lawrence has been out.
Expect him to have a decent outing this week against his division rivals as he continues to build rapport with Lawrence.
Note: Demon picks add a payout boost to your lineup on PrizePicks, as they are more difficult projections to hit.
