The Miami Dolphins have been rolling offensively since Tua Tagovailoa’s return. They’re coming off back-to-back 34-point scoring efforts with Tagovailoa throwing a combined seven touchdowns with no interceptions.
Can they keep that up in the cold temperatures of northern Wisconsin? The memories of the frigid playoff game in Kansas City a season ago will be on the minds of many Dolphins fans going into a Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers.
But unlike that loss to the Chiefs, the Dolphins have a healthy lineup. The Miami offense will have all of its key skill players ready to make an impact, putting much less pressure on Tua Tagovailoa to play hero ball.
One of the most popular ways to bet on an NFL game is the anytime touchdown scorer prop. You bet on one player to score a touchdown, and if they do, you make money.
Sounds simple, right?
It’s not as easy as it seems, but it is rewarding when the player you bet does find the end zone – especially if he plays for your team

Jonnu Smith anytime TD scorer: +200
Smith is proving to be one of the Dolphins best offseason additions. After a slow start to the season, he has become one of Tagovailoa’s favorite targets. Smith has 48 receptions for 535 yards and four touchdowns in 2024. He is on pace to shatter career highs in his eighth year in the league and first with the Dolphins.
With the deep passes potentially compromised by the cold at Lambeau Field, the Dolphins may need to rely on Smith to make plays off shorter catches. That would allow the Dolphins to have long, sustained drives that they hope would end in touchdowns.
It is likely that Smith will continue to be a force in the red zone in this game. He will be targeting his third straight game with a touchdown reception. Until teams decide to key in on Smith more frequently, he looks to be a consistently valuable option for Tagovailoa.
