NFL Week 1 Anytime TD Scorer & Win Parlays (2026)
The first two games of the 2026 NFL season are in the books. After months of anticipation and excitement, the season is finally underway. Therefore, it's time to get back into the swing of betting on the NFL.
I have put together three NFL same-game parlays that consist of an anytime touchdown scorer and a MoneyLine win bet. Pairing a player to find the end zone with their team to win the game can significantly improve your payout on your bet compared to just betting one leg of these simple two-leg parlays.
Let's look at three of my favorite anytime touchdown and win parlays for Week 1.

NFL Week 1 Anytime TD Scorer & Win Parlays
Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook
Baltimore Ravens vs. Indianapolis Colts
- Derrick Henry Anytime TD (-225)
- Baltimore Ravens Moneyline (-175)
- SGP Odds: +100
Some believe the Ravens will become a more pass-happy offense in 2026 after hiring Declan Doyle as their offensive coordinator. However, Henry remains the focal point of Baltimore's offense, especially when the team is in scoring position. Last year, the future Hall of Famer had 16 rushing touchdowns, the second-most in the NFL. The superstar has had at least double-digit rushing scores in eight consecutive seasons, totaling 16 in back-to-back years. Furthermore, Henry had two rushing touchdowns in Week 1 last season.
The Ravens are 3.5-point favorites on the road against the Colts. Therefore, betting them to win outright at -175 is a solid bet. Daniel Jones will start for Indianapolis despite coming off a torn Achilles. However, the veteran didn't play in the preseason. Furthermore, Alec Pierce and Josh Downs are both coming off training camp injuries and haven't had many reps with Jones. I expect Baltimore to be the sharper offense out of the gate, and easily cover the 3.5-point spread.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Cincinnati Bengals
- Kenneth Gainwell (+225)
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers Moneyline (+164)
- SGP Odds: +575
Tampa Bay signed Gainwell to a significant contract on the first day of free agency this offseason. They talked up the veteran throughout training camp as a co-starter alongside Bucky Irving. Last year, Gainwell was arguably one of the top receiving running backs, totaling 73 receptions on 85 targets for 486 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Furthermore, the veteran had eight total touchdowns despite splitting the backfield workload with Jaylen Warren. Meanwhile, 15.4% of the Buccaneers' receiving touchdowns in 2025 went to running backs.
Somehow Tampa Bay is favored to win on Sunday despite Cincinnati's historically bad starts. The Bengals are 1-3 in Week 1 over the past four years, with their lone win coming last season over the Cleveland Browns (17-16). By comparison, they lost their previous three Week 1 matchups by an average of 10 points per game, including 24-3 to the Browns in 2023. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers are 4-0 in Week 1 over the past four years, winning by an average of 9.8 points per game.
While this article is about pairing a single touchdown scorer with their team to win in Week 1, I have a little bonus for more aggressive bettors. If you parlay Tampa Bay to win with Gainwell and Cade Otton (+370) to each score a touchdown, the payout is +3200. Last season, Cincinnati allowed a league-high 16 receiving touchdowns to tight ends. Furthermore, the Bengals gave up two or more receiving touchdowns to opposing tight ends in nearly a third of their matchups.
Arizona Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Chargers
- Ladd McConkey (+125)
- Los Angeles Chargers Moneyline (-500)
- SGP Odds: +158
Many are excited about the Chargers’ offense with Mike McDaniel taking over as the playcaller. Last season, McConkey had six receiving touchdowns with Keenan Allen on the roster. By comparison, he had seven receiving touchdowns as a rookie without the veteran. More importantly, McConkey should play more in the slot this year with Allen in Indianapolis, which is excellent news for him finding the end zone, having scored 10 of the 13 receiving touchdowns in his career when lined up in the slot (76.9%).
Meanwhile, the Cardinals will once again have an awful defense this season. Last year, they surrendered 14 receiving touchdowns to wide receivers. However, half of them went to slot wide receivers, the sixth-highest total in the league. According to PFF, Arizona's nickel cornerback, Garrett Williams, surrendered six receiving touchdowns, the 12th-most in the NFL. Los Angeles is a 9.5-point favorite on Sunday, the largest spread in Week 1. If McConkey finds the end zone, this parlay is all but guaranteed to hit.
