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 many of these for a single game. There are only so many touchdowns, so betting multiple players to score cuts against your expected value, similar to betting multiple winners in golf outright markets.

Bengals RB Khalil Herbert +165

Top RB Chase Brown took a nasty-looking fall as he attempted to go down short of the end zone in Week 17. He sustained an ankle injury. Early reports suggest he’s trending toward a third straight DNP, with no more practices remaining prior to Saturday.

That tells me it’s pretty unlikely he’s going to go.

If Brown does sit, Herbert would be next man up in a backfield that’s giving basically every touch to the starter. Operating as the primary backup, Herbert has just eight carries since Cincinnati dealt for him, with four of those coming in the game in which Brown got hurt.

A starting RB on a high-scoring team simply can’t be north of +150 like this. That’s particularly true against a Steelers defense that has been gashed by the run over the second half of the season. They rank 25th in EPA/play allowed on the ground since Week 10.

There’s danger in this one. If Brown plays, anyone with a Herbert ticket is holding the bag with little recourse. If he doesn’t go, though, this has very real value.

Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth +310

Despite the return of George Pickens, Freiermuth led the team in targets last week in the loss to the Chiefs. He also showed out in the last matchup between these teams, posting a 6-68-1 line while leading the team in targets once again.

That makes sense since the Bengals have massively struggled in covering tight ends all year. No team has allowed more PPR fantasy points per game to the position.

Freiermuth should be well set up to have another nice game here. The Bengals defense allowed this group a monstrous 414 passing yards last time. While they’ve shown more signs of life in recent weeks, that may owe more to facing some really weak passing offenses like the Titans and Browns.

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.
