Who’s scoring at the moment? Our favourite anytime TD picks for NFL Week 9 slate

Anytime landing wagers have turn into probably the most fashionable bets for sports activities gamblers as of late. Everybody needs to know which stars will discover the top zone, and which long-shots are in place to shock everybody by discovering pay filth. 

Final week, we noticed Denver Broncos huge receiver Troy Franklin catch two touchdowns, whereas Jahan Dotson of the Philadelphia Eagles scored instead of the injured A.J. Brown. Then, who noticed the 40-year-old Joe Flacco speeding for a landing vs. the New York Jets? 

Under, we’ll break down 5 anytime TD bets to contemplate for Week 9. These is not going to be predictable selections like Derrick Henry or Jahmyr Gibbs, however they will not be wild long-shots akin to a crew protection. Let’s start with a working again that has been one of many greatest surprises of this season to this point. 

Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook, the place new customers get $300 in bonus bets with a profitable $5 wager:

Everybody shall be on Josh Jacobs (-150) to attain a landing on this matchup, however let’s go in a unique course. This can be a strong value for Dowdle, and it has already fallen from +270 to +220. I think about the logic behind this value is that sportsbooks consider the Inexperienced Bay Packers are going to completely destroy the Panthers, leaving little alternative for Dowdle to hold the rock. However are we certain the Packers needs to be favored by 13.5 factors with Bryce Younger again?

Dowdle’s 605 speeding yards this season rank fifth within the NFL, and his 5.7 yards per rush rank third. He hasn’t scored a landing in two straight weeks, however has discovered the top zone in three out of 4 residence video games this 12 months. Coach Dave Canales hinted at an even bigger workload for Dowdle transferring ahead, so that is good worth.

McConkey has recorded 294 yards receiving and caught three touchdowns over the past 4 video games. Realistically, I feel any Chargers huge receiver to attain a landing is an effective wager this week, as a result of the Tennessee Titans are down their prime three cornerbacks from Week 1. The franchise traded Jarvis Brownlee Jr. and Roger McCreary away, whereas L’Jarius Sneed is on injured reserve. That leaves Jalyn Armour-Davis, Darrell Baker Jr., Marcus Harris, Samuel Womack III and Micah Robinson to cowl an especially proficient huge receiving corps. 

3. RB RJ Harvey, Denver Broncos (+350)

Final week, Broncos working again RJ Harvey turned the third rookie in franchise historical past to hurry for 2 touchdowns and catch a landing in a single recreation, becoming a member of Clinton Portis and Terrell Davis. That is right, Harvey scored three complete touchdowns final Sunday. Clearly the Houston Texans protection is quite a bit higher than the Dallas Cowboys protection, however +350 is a pleasant value. 

The reigning NFL MVP has recorded a speeding landing in three out of 5 regular-season video games vs. the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs. Final week towards the Panthers, Allen had his forty sixth recreation with a passing landing and speeding landing, surpassing Cam Newton for essentially the most all time. Allen has 5 speeding touchdowns in seven video games performed this season. 

Sunday’s matchup marks the tenth between Patrick Mahomes and Allen. Consider it or not, they’re separated by only one level by the primary 9 conferences (Kansas Metropolis 243-242). Steve Spagnuolo is aware of Allen effectively, however when issues break down within the pocket, that is when Allen turns to his legs. 

The Lions are internet hosting the Minnesota Vikings, who’ve a protection that has been torched by opposing quarterbacks over the previous few weeks. Jalen Hurts recorded an ideal passer ranking vs. the Vikings in Week 7 whereas A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith mixed for 304 receiving yards and three touchdowns, then three completely different Chargers gamers caught touchdowns vs. Minnesota final week. 

Amon-Ra St. Brown has extra receiving touchdowns than another huge receiver this season with seven, and he is tied with Ja’Marr Chase in having essentially the most receiving touchdowns over the past three years with 29. 

Bonus: QB Jared Goff, Detroit Lions (+1400)

Keep in mind when Goff caught a landing towards the Chiefs a pair weeks in the past that was taken away because of a penalty? Perhaps we see one other trick play from the Lions in a recreation that I anticipate to be a blowout. Or, Goff may all the time sneak one in. $10 nets you $140.
