NFL 'SNF' Week 8: Two touchdown bets for Chargers vs. Bears

This week's "Sunday Night Football" matchup will pit the Los Angeles Chargers against the Chicago Bears in a lopsided battle. It may not be the best primetime matchup of the season, but we can still spice it up with some plus-money bets. Let's target two anytime touchdown props for Chargers-Bears. 

D'Onta Foreman (+215 DraftKings)

Foreman took over as Chicago's No. 1 running back in Week 7 and immediately made the coaching staff wonder why he wasn't getting snaps beforehand. The journeyman running back handled 19 touches against the Las Vegas Raiders and went off for 120 total yards and three touchdowns.

The Bears leaned on Foreman all game with rookie Tyson Bagent making his first NFL start, and they will likely do the same this week. Chicago may not score many points in this game, but if they do, expect Foreman to be the main catalyst. 

Donald Parham (+400 FanDuel)

The Chargers don't trust many of their offensive weapons in the red zone. Austin Ekeler and Keenan Allen are by far the most used players inside the 20-yard line, but the third name on that list is one you might not expect.

That's right, Parham ranks third on the team in red-zone touches (four) and second in targets from inside the 10 (six). He already has three short receiving touchdowns this season, and he should see at least one end-zone target against a Bears defense that ranks 29th in the NFL in passing touchdowns allowed per game.
