Week 17 NFL Anytime Touchdown Scorer Bets
| Record | Unit Profit |
|---|---|
| 13-19 | -3.41 |
Jaxon Smith-Njigba Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+100)
Smith-Njigba converts over 50% of redzone receptions into touchdowns and faces a Panthers defense ranked 26th in EPA on Sunday. He's hauled in eight redzone receptions on 13 targets for five touchdowns this year, and leads the league in target share (35.6%).
Expect JSN to be heavily involved in the gameplan on Sunday, and with Sam Darnold's high redzone efficiency, he's in a great spot to score as our first NFL anytime touchdown scorer pick of Week 17.
Saquon Barkley Anytime Touchdown Scorer (-105)
Barkley's volume and the Eagle's top-15 run blocking offensive line set him up for success against a Buffalo's bottom half rushing defense by DVOA and win-rate. The Bills have given up six rushing touchdowns over the past three weeks, and the weather in Buffalo on Sunday looks set to make this matchup a battle in the trenches. That favors Saquon and the Eagles.
While he hasn't reached the heights of last year, Barkley's been rolling of late, taking 86 carries for 410 yards and three touchdowns in his last five games. The Bills struggles against the run will only increase his redzone opportunities. Back Saquon to find the endzone against the Bills.
How To Understand NFL Anytime Touchdown Scorer Odds
Want to bet on some NFL props instead of spreads and totals? NFL Anytime Touchdown Scorer props are a great market to get into. This is a fun and engaging choice because props are like mini-games within matchups that may or may not have a direct impact on the outcome of the contest.
When you go to your online sportsbook to look at NFL Anytime Touchdown Scorer odds for our recommended bets, the odds available to bet on might be presented like this:
Cooper Kupp – Seahawks +120
Tee Higgins – Bengals +150
Drake Maye – Patriots +500
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 Patriots quarterback Drake Maye at +500.
If you bet $100 on Maye 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.
