Week 18 NFL Anytime Touchdown Scorer Bets
| Record | Unit Profit |
|---|---|
| 13-21 | -5.41 |
Rico Dowdle Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+130)
Rico Dowdle has burst onto the scene in Carolina this season. Finally given a chance as a No.1 back after Chubba Hubbard's injury, Dowdle has racked up 1,066 rushing yards and 13 total touchdowns.
He gets a great matchup with a Buccaneers defense ranked 27th in EPA per play over the past four weeks on Saturday. Tampa Bay's defense is 30th in red zone defense, allowing the opposition to score on over 68% of red zone trips this season. That bodes well for the Panthers in Saturday's NFC South title game.
Plus, Dowdle has some extra motivation as another touchdown will cash a $250,000 incentive. Bet Rico Dowdle as our first NFL anytime touchdown scorer for Week 18.
Tony Pollard Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+200)
Like Dowdle, Tony Pollard has a ton of money riding on Week 18. He needs 66 rushing yards for $250,000 and two touchdowns for another $200,000 bonus. I think Titans offensive coordinator, Nick Holz, helps him get there.
Pollard has done yeomen's work for the Titans all year, pass-protecting with gusto and helping the development of rookie quarterback Cam Ward. He's quietly put up 1,034 rushing yards and 10 total touchdowns.
Jacksonville's defense has been excellent lately, but they've given up 12 rushing touchdowns on the year, and Pollard is always a threat in the receiving game. Plus, Jaguars vs Titans has a high total of 47.5 on Sunday. There will be points in this Week 18 matchup, and I'm backing Pollard to find the end zone at least once in a game where he should see added volume with bonuses on the line.
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.
