Best Anytime Scorer Bets for Week 17 (With Reasoning)

Here are the best players to target with anytime TD bets this weekend at the top NFL betting sites.

Tee Higgins (+100): Cardinals vs Bengals

The Bengals may be out of playoff contention but they’ll have a chance to send their fans home with a win this holiday weekend. They’re big favorites over the 3-12 Arizona Cardinals who have lost seven straight.

Cincinnati has been more competitive since Joe Burrow returned from injury. While it hasn’t always translated to wins, Burrow has been piling up the TD passes with eight in his last three games. That should mean plenty of opportunities for his receivers against the Cardinals 23rd-ranked pass defense.

Higgins has caught three of those eight Burrow touchdown passes and has ten scores on the year. That includes finding the endzone in six of his past seven games. Higgins only saw three targets last week versus Miami but the Dolphins ran out to a big lead on the way to a 45-21 win. In previous games, Higgins had been targeted a combined 34 times in four games.

During Arizona’s seven-game losing streak, they’ve given up an average of 34.7 points per game, and a similar showing should provide plenty of opportunities for Higgins and others to eat.

The Bet
Higgins Anytime TD
+100

Saquon Barkley (+100): Eagles vs. Bills

No team has allowed more rushing touchdowns this season than the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have given up 18 rushing scores, while no other team has allowed more than 15. The 144.3 yards per game they give up on the ground also ranks a dismal 29th.

To make matters worse, they currently have seven defensive players listed a questionable, which includes DT DaQuan Jones, DT Joey Bosa, and LB Shaq Thompson. Another DT, Jordan Phillips has already been ruled out.

The Eagles aren’t dominant on the ground, but still rank 15th and average 121.7 yards per game.

Saquon Barkley should be used heavily against this opponent. He’s fourth overall in carries and ninth in total rushing yards. While he only has seven rushing scores on the season, he’s also added two receiving TDs.

He’s had some of his most productive games in recent weeks, rushing for 122 yards against the Chargers and 132 yards against the Commanders. He’s also found the endzone in three straight games—a streak that could continue against a vulnerable Bills’ rush defense.

The Bet
Barkley Anytime TD
+100

Jakobi Meyers (+155): Jaguars vs. Colts

The Colts gave a valiant effort versus the Seahawks in Phillip Rivers’ debut from coming out of retirement. They hung around, almost won, and just fell short 18-16, holding the Seahawks to just six field goals.

But the wheels fell off on Monday Night Football against the 49ers in the second half, and they eventually lost 48-27. San Francisco QB Brock Purdy went off for 295 yards and five passing scores. Four different players hauled down passing scores, and three were from receivers.

Now Indy gets a short week, and faces one of the league’s hottest teams in Jacksonville.e The Jags are 11-4 and have won eight straight. In their last three games, they’ve put up 36, 48, and 34 points, and last week’s 34-point output came versus one of the league’s stronger defenses in the Broncos.

The 36 points scored three games back came versus this opponent, where they beat the Colts 36-19. WR Jakobi Meyers had four catches for 39 yards and one TD through the air. Meyers only has three TDs on the year, but they’ve all come in his last five games, and he’s had four or more catches in each of his last six games.

Against a team that may be tired, and will likely be on the field for much of the game, I’ll bet on the Jags putting up multiple scores and at least one of them going to Meyers. The Colts also give up the second-most yards per game through the air.

The Bet
Meyers Anytime TD
+150

Kyren Williams (-117): Rams vs. Falcons

NFL Week 17 concludes on Monday night with the Falcons hosting the Rams, and LA listed as heavy favorites.

The Rams still have a chance to improve their seeding in the NFC from 6th to 5th with a win. However, they’ll need the Bears to also get a win over the 49ers on Sunday Night Football.

Atlanta went to Arizona last week and shut down the Cardinals, holding them to just one touchdown, 19 points,, and emerging with a 26-19 win. Atlanta has won back-to-back games but only three of their past ten.

On the ground, they’ve only allowed nine rushing scores, which ranks among the top ten best in the league. But, the 128.2 yards per game on the ground is just 25th overall.

The Rams are eighth in rushing yards on offense and tied in ninth for rushing scores. Whether it’s Kyren Williams or Blake Corum, they’ve been scoring plenty of rushing TDs in recent weeks.

Corum has found the endzone in each of his past four games, for a total of five rushing TDs. Meanwhile, Williams has a rushing score in three of his past four games for a total of four. Williams is one of the league’s leading rushers, ranking eighth in carries, yards, and overall TDs. He’ll surely have a few cracks at the endzone on Monday.

The Bet
Williams Anytime TD
-117
