4 NFL Anytime Touchdown Player Props for Week 6: Ride Mr. Likely!
A pair of the NFL’s top offenses collide on Sunday when the Baltimore Ravens face off against the Washington Commanders, a matchup featuring two strong-armed quarterbacks who are deadly with both their arms and feet.
Yet that game does not feature the highest over/under total for points this week – a distinction that belongs to the Dallas Cowboys facing off against the Detroit Lions. It’s one of three games this week – including Thursday’s San Francisco-Seattle contest – that are predicted to eclipse the 50-point total mark.
With NFL offenses finally waking up from the season-long slow spell, which players should bettors wager on this week to score? We’ll cover that in this week’s edition of “four-sure” NFL anytime touchdown scorers.
Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson (-185)
The Falcons have relied on new quarterback Kirk Cousins this season to move the football, but Atlanta has one of the better offensive weapons in the league in Bijan Robinson. The 5-foot-11 22-year-old has over 430 yards in five games, including 285 on the ground.
Robinson is a threat on the ground and through the air to score this week. Carolina is among the worst defenses in the league against the run, having yielded 10 touchdowns to opponents’ running backs through five games. Expect Robinson to make it six straight games with at least one running back score against the Panthers to cover this prop bet.
Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (+105)
The Philadelphia Eagles are well rested after their early-season bye week, and the NFC East team is licking its chops to face one of the worst teams in the NFL. The Cleveland Browns are fresh off yielding 434 yards to Jayden Daniels in a 34-13 loss to the Commanders in Week 5.
With a week to prepare, expect Philadelphia to find the endzone multiple times this weekend. Quarterback Jalen Hurts and the “Tush Push” should be responsible for at least one of those scores to cover this player prop bet.
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (+175)
Last week, the Jacksonville Jaguars finally got into the win column this season, beating the Indianapolis Colts 37-34. It’s no surprise that the Jaguars used their running game to earn their first victory.
Jacksonville runner Tank Bigsby put together his second strong game, finishing with 129 yards total and two touchdowns. The former third-round draft pick now has four rushing touchdowns this season.
Bettors should continue to expect Bigsby to get the majority of the goal line carries in the running back split with Travis Etienne Jr., giving him the best chance to score. Plus, Chicago has allowed six touchdowns to opposing running backs this season to make this even more inviting of a bet.
Baltimore Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (+270)
The Washington Commanders have been one of the better teams in the NFL against the tight end position, yielding just 122 yards on 15 receptions and one touchdown to opponents this season.
Yet Baltimore has two tight ends that are among the league’s best with Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews on this roster. Likely has been on a tear to start the season, nabbing 16 receptions and 180 yards in five games this season. Expect him to score his fourth touchdown against Washington on Sunday.
