First Touchdown Odds

Saturday NFL Anytime Touchdown Picks

The odds table above will by no means be exhaustive. We’ll highlight some intriguing options but encourage you to dig into players who interest you. When shopping for the best ATTD odds, use our prop betting tool to find the best prices for any player.

Finally, we don’t advise betting too much for a single game. There are only so many touchdowns, so betting multiple players to score cuts against your expected value is similar to betting multiple winners in golf outright markets.

Texans RB Joe Mixon Over -119 on Caesars

This one’s a pretty simple handicap. Mixon has accounted for over a third of the Texans’ touchdowns this year, but he isn’t being priced like it.

For reference, many bell cows find themselves in the -150 or higher range, but Mixon is close to even money. That’s probably due to Houston’s low team total. They’re still expected to score around three touchdowns, though, so there’s a pretty strong chance Mixon will find his way into the end zone.

K.C. has quite a few injuries in its secondary, which may also be part of the equation. The market may be expecting a higher-volume performance from C.J. Stroud.

However, I’ll roll with Mixon at anything south of -140. He’s essentially a lock to get every red-zone handoff, and he’s among the top five on the team in targets as well.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy Over +255 on DraftKings

I continue to bank on Worthy’s anytime touchdown odds at relatively long numbers north of +200.

Not only does Worthy lead the team in touchdowns, albeit in an evenly distributed team-wide share, but K.C. continues to scheme touches for him in the red zone. Last week, he spiked again on what went into the box score as a rush.

Worthy won’t have an easy matchup regarding running routes down the field. He’ll be matched with top-level corners like Derek Stingley Jr. and Kamari Lassiter. However, the schemed touches, often defense-agnostic, are the main draw. Worthy got nine touches last week and hasn’t been targeted fewer than six times in a month.

We’ll see how much, if at all, the return of Hollywood Brown cuts into Worthy’s work. He’ll most likely be on some snap count if he goes, though.

What Are NFL Anytime Touchdown Picks?

If you are new to these wagers, they are a bet on a player to score a touchdown. Remember that quarterbacks must run (or receive) for a touchdown to cash the prop — passing touchdowns do not apply to ATTD odds at NFL betting sites.

Thus, these are primarily the domain of offensive skill players, although you’ll find long odds for defensive and special teams players to score. Some NFL betting apps may lump “special teams/defense” into one bet.
