NFL 'SNF' Week 1: Two touchdown bets for Cowboys vs. Giants

Welcome, friends, to the 2023 NFL season. Yardbarker will have you covered all year long with betting previews and prop bets for every primetime "island" game, courtesy of myself and Griffin Carroll. 

I get to start this week with the "Sunday Night Football" matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants, so let's first look at some anytime touchdown scorer bets for the first "SNF" game of the season.

Here are my two favorite TD bets for Cowboys-Giants Week 1, which I'll be playing for a half-unit each.

Darren Waller (+200 DraftKings)

Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has been searching for a true No. 1 wide receiver since he entered the league in 2019, and he may have found one in Darren Waller, if he can stay healthy.

Waller was the star of training camp for the Giants, immediately acclimating himself as Jones' favorite target. And why wouldn't he be? Waller is a 6-foot-6, 255-pound alien of an athlete with a huge wingspan and great speed for his size. Jones will be looking for him early and often against the Cowboys.

Before his injury-riddled 2022 season, Waller racked up 3,006 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns over his previous three seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders. The Giants are hoping to resurrect that dominant version of Waller, and I think it starts in Week 1.

Waller was limited in Friday's practice and was listed as questionable with a hamstring issue, but multiple reports Sunday indicate that he will play against the Cowboys Sunday night.
