Sunday around the NFL, the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars will battle in London, the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns will fight for the AFC North lead, while the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers face off under the lights in Lambeau Field. Get ready for another wild week. 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, we hit on our headliner in Trey McBride (+115), and Christian McCaffrey -- who was shockingly listed at -130.
Let's see what we have cooking up for Week 6. 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 running back in London. With David Montgomery ruled out due to a groin injury, Woody Marks is going to be the Texans' lead back in London against the Jaguars. He's actually Houston's leading rusher this season with 149 yards, despite Montgomery having registered nine more rushes.
Marks has found the end zone twice over the last three games, and saw an uptick in usage in the passing game last week against the Tennessee Titans. This is a massive game for the Texans, who are looking to find a rhythm following their slow start and make up ground in the AFC South. Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has been on fire.
Last Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, he racked up 188 total yards and two touchdowns -- becoming the first player since Herschel Walker in 1986 to score a 50-yard rushing touchdown and an 80-yard receiving touchdown in the same game. Warren has actually recorded the second-most scrimmage yards (640) through five games in Steelers history, behind Le'Veon Bell in 2014, and has the third-most scrimmage yards in the NFL despite receiving the 17th-most touches (89). He's been a beast, and the Steelers' best weapon on offense.
