The Green Bay Packers are hosting the Chicago Bears in an NFC North showdown, Jayden Daniels returns to the field against the New York Giants, the San Francisco 49ers travel to Seattle to take on the rival Seahawks and Bijan Robinson looks to keep the Atlanta Falcons' win streak alive against Tyler Huntley and the Baltimore Ravens on "Sunday Night Football." Let's discuss some anytime touchdown bets. These have become popular wagers among football fans because of their longer odds. Even when it comes to an expected TD scorer, they make for a fun parlay leg.
We dominated last week, hitting on Brock Bowers (+160), James Cook III (-140), and Alvin Kamara (+135). Let's see what we have cooking up for Week 5. Below, we will break down five anytime TD bets to consider.
These will not be predictable choices like a Jahmyr Gibbs or Bijan Robinson score that offer zero value, but they won't be wild long shots such as a team defense. Let's begin with a star tight end out west. The Arizona Cardinals are hosting the Detroit Lions this Sunday, who just gave up 445 yards of total offense to the Carolina Panthers.
Kelvin Sheppard's defense ranks dead last in the NFL, and made Bryce Young look like Josh Allen last week, so I'm expecting some points in this game. Trey McBride has the third-most receptions (33) in the NFL this season, but hasn't found the end zone in two weeks. I'll take him to score against this porous Detroit defense.
When's the last time we saw 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey listed with a -130 tag? Statistically, the Seahawks have the best defense in the NFL, but this price is still pretty surprising. McCaffrey has scored four touchdowns over the last three games, but hasn't found the end zone as a receiver this season.
He's just one receiving touchdown away from passing Marshall Faulk for the most by a running back all-time (36). I'm betting that happens on Sunday. Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz hasn't been wildly productive this season outside of the Week 2 explosion against the Cincinnati Bengals, where he caught 12 of 14 targets for 140 yards.
