We have 3 anytime touchdown bets for Sunday, including a longshot at +360 in a dream matchup. Let’s dive into our NFL Week 8 anytime touchdown scorer best bets, while you can also find out our experts’ NFL picks for EVERY game.
Falcons vs Buccaneers anytime touchdown scorer pick: Rachaad White (+160)
Line available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers backfield situation is a mess to breakdown. Head coach Todd Bowles has emphasized riding the “hot hand,” and that was White last Monday Night. White totaled 16 touches for 111 yards and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, explosive rookie back Bucky Irving is banged up heading into Sunday’s matchup against the Falcons and has a rushing yards line set at just 30.5. With weapons Mike Evans and Chris Godwin sidelined for Sunday and the foreseeable future, I’m willing to back White to find the endzone at +160.
Eagles vs Bengals anytime touchdown scorer pick: AJ Brown (+145)
Line available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
While Saquon Barkley put on a show in his return to MetLife Field last week, AJ Brown was just as impressive. He reeled in all five targets, including a 41-yard touchdown on a great ball Jalen Hurts threw.
The Eagles will be without tight end Dallas Goedert across the middle, while they also lack a 3rd option after Brown and Devonta Smith. Brown will be battling it out against a Bengals secondary that has allowed five touchdowns to the wide receiver position, while Brown has scored in all three games he’s suited up in this season.
Panthers vs Broncos anytime touchdown scorer pick Troy Franklin (+360)
Line available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Troy Franklin has been a spark for the Denver Broncos offense this season. 40% of his targets are 20+ yards down the field, which makes him a threat to catch a long touchdown anytime he lines up. Not to mention that Franklin had a 100% separation rate against the New Orleans Saints last time we saw the Broncos take the field.
The Panthers are a dream matchup for any wide receiver when targeting their yards or touchdowns. They’ve allowed the 7th most touchdowns to the position and the 4th most redzone targets. Look for rookie Bo Nix to continue to build on his connection with Franklin.
