Lamar Jackson makes his return to the lineup after missing the last three games and will look to take down Josh Allen and the Bills in Buffalo; the Detroit Lions want to hand the Minnesota Vikings their first loss of the season, and on Monday night, the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks will face off in what is sure to be an epic showdown. 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. Last week was "National Tight Ends Day," and we hit on a few scorers such as Mike Gesicki (+330), Kyle Pitts (+255) and Tucker Kraft (+175). Let's see what we have cooking up for Week 8.
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 sneaky running back in Cincinnati.
The Cincinnati Bengals rushing attack has been disappointing this season. Their 81.2 rushing yards per game ranks third-worst in the NFL, and Chase Brown ranks 27th in rushing with 285 yards on 82 carries. You can take him to score a touchdown at -155 this week, but I'm looking at the other back.
Samaje Perine rushed four times for 16 yards and a touchdown last week against the Baltimore Ravens, after recording 14 carries for 68 yards against the Miami Dolphins. He also caught a touchdown in that game. Could he see more touches this week?
He probably will, since the Bengals are facing the lowly Tennessee Titans. I also wonder if Perine could be the Bengals' goal-line back, and without big Jeffery Simmons in the middle of that Titans defense, he could find pay dirt again. Fun fact about Samaje Perine: He's Oklahoma's all-time leading rusher with 81 more rushing yards than Adrian Peterson!
