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.

Texans WR Nico Collins Over +188 on Bet365

Collins has powered this Texans offense all season. Whatever success they have on the road in Arrowhead figures to be predicated on him finding some space, particularly after the team banished Diontae Johnson back to his couch.

Certainly, the rushing attack is in a tough spot. The Chiefs were borderline elite against the run this season, something they showed the last time these teams met. Joe Mixon managed just 57 yards on 14 carries.

Collins won’t have an easy matchup facing off with top CB Trent McDuffie. However, if McDuffie has had a weak point this year, it’s been against bigger, more physical receivers. Courtland Sutton roasted him repeatedly when the Chiefs played Denver. Collins also had a productive day last time these teams played, turning 10 targets seven catches and 60 yards.

Quarterbacks tend to lean on their best weapons in the biggest spots. Collins commanded about 40% of the Texans’ receiving volume last week. We could see something similar here.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce Over +150 on DraftKings

Along the same lines, I’m leaning toward the chalk for the Chiefs as well. Last year, we saw Kelce turn it on in the playoffs after a mediocre regular season. He had an even rougher year this time around, with a career-low 823 yards and a huge dip in efficiency.

Still, Kelce perked up in Week 17 against Pittsburgh (8-84-1), which might be a sign of things to come.

Kelce was quiet last time these teams played, but he still commanded seven targets.

What I like most about this spot is how vulnerable the Texans looked in the slot last week. They were completely powerless against Ladd McConkey, letting the rookie for an astounding 197 yards.

Kelce tied for the team lead in slot snaps (16) against Pittsburgh. Andy Reid and his staff might be trying to mitigate Kelce’s fading physical tools by getting him some easier releases. If they do so again here, he should be a fair bet to find the end zone at decent plus money.

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.
