Anytime touchdown scorer bets are probably my favorite way to wager on NFL action. These bets allow me to focus on the specific mismatches and position edges I see week-to-week.
So, here are my NFL anytime touchdown scorer bets for Week 6:
Week 6 NFL Anytime Touchdown Scorer Bets
Drake London Anytime Touchdown (+120)
Normally, I bet on a running back to score against the Panthers. But this week, I'm taking the receiver.
Drake London has seen an increase in his targets every single game this season, growing from three in Week 1 to 13 last week. He's also seen the fourth-highest percentage of red zone targets in the NFL, with 63.6% of all Atlanta passes inside the 20 going to him. That's led to three touchdowns for London and should be good for another this weekend.
It helps that London faces a Panthers defense that's allowed the second-most touchdowns in football to wide receivers. Carolina has let up eight scores to WRs in just five contests.
Saquon Barkley Anytime Touchdown (-195)
I don't usually love these minus-money TD props, but this Saquon one is basically a lock.
Barkley has five touchdowns in four games to start this season. Dating back to last year, he's got 10 touchdowns in his last nine contests. His opportunity to find the end zone is top-tier, with the third-most red zone touches among all running backs. Barkley also faces a Browns defense this week that's allowed the fourth-most touchdowns to opposing RBs, allowing six in five games.
How To Understand NFL Anytime Touchdown Scorer Odds
The time has come that you finally want to bet on some NFL props instead of sides and totals and you’ve decided on the NFL Anytime Touchdown Scorer props. This is a fun choice because props are like games within the game that may or may not have a direct impact on the outcome of the game.
When you go to your online sportsbook to look at NFL Anytime Touchdown Scorer odds for our recommended bets, for instance, the odds available to bet on might be presented like this:
Cooper Kupp – Rams +120
Tee Higgins – Bengals +150
Similar to a moneyline bet where favorites would be marked with the minus sign (-) and underdogs with the plus sign (+), the favorite to score a touchdown is a player with the lowest odds, which in this case is Cooper Kupp. Based on Kupp’s implied odds from sportsbooks, he has a 45.45 percent chance to score a touchdown.
Let’s say you think Tee Higgins will score a touchdown in this game. In order to make $100 in profit, you would need to bet $66.67. If you make that bet and Higgins scores, your $66.67 original bet is returned and you win $100 in profit.
On the flip side, part of the allure of NFL Anytime Touchdown Scorer wagers is the big paydays you could receive for being right and picking a player who doesn’t score as often as Kupp or Higgins. In this case, you decide to bet on the Bengals’ Joe Burrow at +500.
If you bet $100 on Burrow and he finds the end zone in the game, you would get $600 returned to you. Your original $100 bet is refunded and the sportsbook will give you $500 in profit for your winning bet.
