Elsewhere, the total is 46.5 (-110) on BetRivers. Below, you will discover two TNF anytime touchdown odds to consider for your Baltimore vs. Kansas City bets.

What Are NFL ATTD Odds?

Before we delve into which plays to wager on in this betting market, let’s assess the meaning behind it. These types of wagers are also coined “ATD odds” or “ATTD odds.” They’ve evolved into one of the most popular prop bets across the industry.

Generally speaking, players are stationed at plus-money odds. Given the energizing result for novice and hardcore pro football gamblers alike, the hype with anytime touchdown odds isn’t surprising. Your bet will cash if the player finds the end zone via a rushing, receiving, defensive, or special teams score. Passing touchdowns do not apply to ATTD odds at NFL betting sites.

Additionally, quarterbacks must score on the ground or via the receiving end if you wager on one to find paydirt.

If the player you wager on gets hurt during the game, don’t anticipate a refund on anytime touchdown odds. Just like any other bet, risk comes into play. Let’s dive into a pair of ATTD odds for bettors to mull over — with a week’s worth of pizza money.

Ravens RB Derrick Henry: -115

Ravens bettors (including myself) vividly remember Baltimore’s peculiar game script in the aforementioned conference title game. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken called five carries for his runnings despite the Ravens never trailing by more than two possessions.

Enter Henry, who signed a two-year, $16 million contract with Baltimore in March after spending his first eight seasons with Tennessee.

The 30-year-old tailback is guaranteed $9 million in the first year of his deal. Clearly, the Ravens aren’t anticipating a massive decline in production.

Couple the offseason criticism surrounding Monken and the notion that the opponents must grind the clock against Mahomes and expect Henry to compile 15-20 touches. Unless Baltimore’s defense takes a massive step back in Week 1 without its former defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald, Henry should also see his fair share of red-zone usage.

Kansas City’s run defense was its primary weakness last season. That should only continue in 2024, especially after losing do-it-all linebacker Willie Gay to New Orleans.

In his final season with the Titans, Henry saw eight games in which he was lined at plus money score. That correlated with Tennessee’s 6-11 record. In 2022, Henry only had two games with pregame odds of plus money. Unless the Ravens underperform by a wide margin, he’s unlikely to generate plus odds in this market until Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns’ stout defense.

Chiefs RB Samaje Perine: Over +600 on BetMGM

If you’re betting on Henry’s ATTD odds with pizza money, consider using couch change on these odds. The former Broncos and Bengals running back is a longshot to score, but he’s the obvious No. 2 option on the depth chart with Clyde-Edwards Helaire out for at least the first four games.

If Kansas City faces a negative game script on Thursday evening, the scatback’s opportunities will increase. In an attempt to fill the void left by Jerrick McKinnon, Perine is an intriguing look within this high-ceiling offense.
