NFL Anytime TD Scorers Picks & Predictions: Week 6 (2026)
Last week's NFL anytime TD scorers bets resulted in a modest profit, as two of the four main picks found paydirt. That makes four out of five winning weeks on the anytime touchdowns front.
Even though four NFL teams are on a bye this week, multiple games have inflated implied totals. That means touchdowns should be easy to find. Here are some of my favorite anytime touchdown bets for the Week 6 Sunday slate.

Week 6’s Best NFL Anytime TD Scorers
Chuba Hubbard (RB – CAR) | -110 at theScore Bet
The Week 6 matchup between the Carolina Panthers and the Philadelphia Eagles looks quite different from what most of us expected before the season.
Carolina is averaging 30 points per game on offense, and running back Chuba Hubbard is leading the way. He is averaging nearly 100 scrimmage yards per game and has scored five times in four games. Hubbard and the Panthers enter this outing fresh off a Week 5 bye.
Meanwhile, the Eagles limp into this game without quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley. They sit at 2-3 and are coming off a last-second loss overseas last week. It is hard to argue the Panthers as slight favorites, which could give Hubbard plenty of chances to score against a vulnerable defense.
Only New Orleans and Green Bay have allowed more rushing touchdowns this season than the Philadelphia Eagles. To be fair, the Eagles have given up multiple rushing scores to opposing quarterbacks. Still, their run defense has been far from dominant. Philadelphia ranks right around league average in most advanced metrics. Considering their long list of injuries and the travel following their London game, fatigue could work against them in this matchup.
Hubbard has converted all four of his touches inside the opponents' 5-yard line into touchdowns. Most players with Hubbard's year-to-date numbers and favorable game circumstances have anytime touchdown odds that make them almost unplayable. However, we are getting a solid price here, all things considered. I am rolling with Hubbard as my first anytime touchdown pick for Week 6.
Tyler Higbee (TE – LAR) | +275 at BetRivers/Bally's | *0.5 Units
My next anytime touchdown pick is Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee. This is another instance where I am targeting a tight end against the Arizona Cardinals.
Higbee may not touch the ball 20+ times like Kyren Williams or rack up 24 targets in a game like Puka Nacua. But I believe his role in this offense is being undervalued when it comes to touchdown equity.
The veteran tight end has at least five catches and 60 receiving yards in three consecutive games. Higbee has played at least 65% of the snaps in all three outings and should lead the way for Rams tight ends once again in this game.
The Cardinals have allowed a tight end to score at least one touchdown against them in four consecutive games. They rank last in defense-adjusted value over average (DVOA) against opposing tight ends, and Pro Football Focus (PFF) grades both their linebackers and safeties as bottom-five coverage units.
Los Angeles is a heavy favorite in this game, so Higbee's volume may not be as high as it has been in recent weeks. However, this is a great price and an elite matchup. If you do not have access to BetRivers and/or Bally's, you can still find this at +250 or better on most sportsbooks.
Brock Bowers (TE – LV) | +100 at BetMGM
The Buffalo Bills may be 4-1, but not on the strength of their pass defense. Buffalo has given up 13 passing scores through five weeks, one shy of the most in the NFL. They rank 27th in expected points added (EPA) and 28th in DVOA against the pass. Furthermore, because their offense is so prolific, other teams are forced to throw the ball against them. It is a perfect storm for opposing passing attacks to rack up volume. Enter the Las Vegas Raiders and tight end Brock Bowers.
Bowers has scored in all three games he has played this season. Despite playing in just three games, Bowers is tied for 13th in receiving touchdowns and tied for 16th in targets inside the opponents' 10-yard line.
The superstar tight end is Kirk Cousins' primary look by the goal line, and I see no reason for that to change on Sunday. If Las Vegas plays from behind as expected, it could create even more opportunities for Bowers. No matter how you view it, Bowers has an excellent chance to keep his touchdown streak alive in this game.
Christian Watson (WR – GB) | +120 at FanDuel Sportsbook/theScore Bet
Sunday night's game features the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys in an expected shootout. Vegas has the total set at 53.5 and has installed Green Bay as a slight favorite. There is no shortage of candidates to score in this game.
Each team has three players who have already scored multiple touchdowns this season. And that doesn't even count featured players like Tucker Kraft of the Packers or George Pickens of the Cowboys. I wouldn't talk anyone out of betting on any relevant players to score in this game. That said, I am going with Christian Watson to continue his torrid touchdown-scoring pace.
Watson has scored in four out of five games thus far, including a pair of multi-touchdown efforts. He can score from anywhere on the field, but it helps that the Packers feature him down by the goal line.
Jordan Love has targeted Watson three times inside the opposing 5-yard line this year. Amon-Ra St. Brown is the only other wideout in the NFL to earn at least three targets inside the 5-yard line. Better yet, all three of Watson's targets inside the 5-yard line have resulted in touchdowns. That bodes well against a Cowboys pass defense that has been downright abysmal.
I pulled defensive DVOA data from FTN dating back to 2018 and EPA data from SumerSports dating back to 2022. No pass defense has a worse rating in either metric over a full season than this year's Cowboys defense has through five games. Of course, Dallas could turn things around eventually. But this does not seem like a matchup for them to get right in.
For what it's worth, this year's Packers rushing "attack" has the second-worst DVOA and worst EPA in that same multi-year set. Green Bay would be wise to eschew the ground game and let Love air it out early and often. Considering all these factors, I cannot pass on a Christian Watson touchdown at plus-money odds.
Longshot Anytime Touchdown Bet: Mo Alie-Cox (TE – IND) | +1300 at BetRivers/Bally's | *0.15 Units
Admittedly, I wouldn’t have played Mo Alie-Cox to score a touchdown on Sunday if the Indianapolis Colts hadn’t added tight end Tyler Warren to Friday's injury report. But late-week practice injuries are not a good sign for a player's upcoming availability. So, I think it is worth a sprinkle to bet on the backup tight end to find the end zone in a decent matchup.
The Tennessee Titans enter this game ranked 31st in DVOA and 28th in EPA versus the pass. While they are far from elite against the run, they are much closer to league average. With Jonathan Taylor in the backfield and the team struggling to generate much in the passing game, the Titans should focus on stopping Taylor down by the goal line.
This could open up a play-action look for Alie-Cox, who has caught at least one touchdown pass in every season since 2020. I wouldn't go overboard here and am risking just 0.15 units on this bet. But the downside is very small given the stake and price point.
