Prime-Time First TD Bets — Sunday Night Football, Week 16
Alex Christenson
Merry Christmas, everyone who celebrates! No commentary this week because of the holiday, except to note that Amari Cooper does not finish No. 1 in DYAR among wide receivers because of a very heavy opponent adjustment. Also, George Pickens did not make our list of the top five wide receivers because he had a fumble (although it was recovered by the Steelers.)
These tables have now been updated with the Monday Christmas games!
