Aaron Rodgers over 1.5 pass TDs (-220)
Rodgers has thrown at least two touchdowns in five consecutive games and did so in 16 of 18 games in 2020. He has also hit the mark in 138 of 200 games (69%) since 2009. The Washington defense, meanwhile, has allowed a league-high 16 passing TDs, including at least two in four consecutive games. Washington has shut down the opposing run game (3.6 YPC), which has led to opposing QBs attempting 242 passes (fourth most) and throwing for 1,904 yards (most).
