Best Giants vs Patriots TD Scorer Picks
I have provided three plus-money anytime touchdown picks for MNF: Stefon Diggs and Hunter Henry of the Patriots and Isaiah Hodgins of the Giants. Other popular anytime touchdown scorer picks include TreVeyon Henderson (+100 on BetRivers), Wan’Dale Robinson (+230 on Sports Interaction), and Jaxson Dart (+325 on Fanatics).
In terms of long shots, the Patriots are +725 to score a non-offensive touchdown on Sports Interaction. The Giants are +1000 to score a non-offensive touchdown on FanDuel. For individual players, Patriots rookie wide receiver Kyle Williams is an intriguing option at +1400 on bet365.
NYG vs NE Touchdown Pick #1: Stefon Diggs Anytime TD (+125 at Sports Interaction)
Stefon Diggs has scored three touchdowns this season, matching his tally from 2024. All three touchdowns came in three weeks from Week 8 to Week 10. While he has not scored outside of that range, he is consistently targeted in the offense, averaging over six targets per game. The former All-Pro leads the Patriots in targets, catches, and yards. He is second among wide receivers in touchdown catches on the team.
Diggs has a pair of touchdowns from the one-yard line this season – doing his best Davante Adams impression. Despite averaging eight targets per game (and his teams going 4-0), Diggs has never scored against the Giants.
The Giants have allowed 39 touchdowns this season. Of those, 13 belong to wide receivers. The only player to victimize the Giants twice in one game was Christian Watson back in Week 11. This figure also includes a rushing touchdown by Deebo Samuel and a variety of depths from Watson’s one-yard touchdown to an 87-yard touchdown by Rashid Shaheed. The Giants have the No.30 scoring defense.
NYG vs NE Touchdown Pick #2: Hunter Henry Anytime TD (+225 at BetMGM)
Hunter Henry is tied for the Patriots’ team lead in receiving touchdowns with five. He scored last week, capping off his best performance of the season. He has scored in four games this season, catching two touchdowns in New England’s loss to Pittsburgh back in Week 3. Henry is second on the Patriots in targets, catches, and yards.
This season, Henry has been a versatile weapon. He has two touchdowns inside the 10, one from 16 yards out, and a pair from 25 yards and beyond. Despite being a lifelong AFC player, Henry has scored against the Giants, catching a go-ahead touchdown from Phillip Rivers back in 2017 when Henry was a Charger.
The Giants have only allowed five touchdowns to tight ends this season. Dallas Goedert scored three across two games. Zach Ertz (Week 1) and Josh Whyle (Week 11) also found pay dirt. Only Goedert’s last touchdown was outside the 10-yard line, so the Giants have done a reasonable job of keeping explosives off the tight end menu.
NYG vs NE Touchdown Pick #3: Isaiah Hodgins Anytime TD (+550 at BetRivers)
Last week, Hodgins caught his first touchdown since 2023. Hodgins flashed in both 2022 and 2023 for the Giants, catching seven total touchdowns in 25 games before largely being a practice squad body in 2024. With various injuries among Giants receivers (most notably Malik Nabers), Hodgins has had an increased role in the last two weeks. He has six targets in each of New York’s last two games.
All eight of Hodgins’ career regular-season touchdowns have come in the red zone. His longest career touchdown came in the Giants’ playoff win over the Vikings: 14 yards. Hodgins scored in New York’s win over the Patriots back in 2023.
Of the 26 touchdowns allowed by the Patriots, 16 belong to wide receivers. This includes a punt return touchdown by Malik Washington, a two-touchdown game by Tez Johnson, and a three-touchdown game by Drake London. The Patriots have allowed multiple receiver touchdowns in five games this season, maxing out with three allowed to the Falcons and Bucs.
