NFL Week 2 Anytime TD Scorer & Win Parlays (2025)
Last week, I was able to hit on all three Moneyline bets that I posted in this column. That is the good news. The bad news is that only one of my three players scored a touchdown. Let’s see if I can improve my mark here. Here are three Week 2 Same Game Parlays that consist of an Anytime Touchdown Scorer (ATD) and a Moneyline (Win) bet. Selecting a player to score in conjunction with their team winning the game can help us increase our return on an outcome that correlates with the original bet.

NFL Week 2 Anytime TD Scorer & Win Parlays
(All bets are one unless otherwise stated.)
Cleveland Browns at Baltimore Ravens
We are going to start things off this week with a bit of chalk. The Baltimore Ravens are the biggest favorites on the Week 2 board. They are laying 11.5 points at home to the Cleveland Browns. No other team in the NFL is favored by more than a touchdown. Both the Ravens and Browns lost their Week 1 games by a single point. However, it’s not easy to imagine many scenarios where Baltimore loses at home to Cleveland on Sunday.
Running back Derrick Henry has the shortest odds of all players in the NFL to score a touchdown in Week 2. Including last year’s playoffs, Henry has scored 22 touchdowns in 20 games as a Baltimore Raven. Cleveland allowed 22 rushing scores last year. That was tied for fourth-most in the league. Included in these numbers are three Henry touchdowns in the two meetings between these clubs last season. I do not always like to play SGPs at such short odds, but this feels like a solid bet to kick off the Week 2 slate.
Pick: Derrick Henry Anytime TD/Baltimore Ravens to Win (-160 at DraftKings Sportsbook)
Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions
The sportsbooks are overreacting somewhat based on how poorly Detroit performed against Green Bay last week. If only Chicago had held on against Minnesota, these prices may have been even better. Still, the Lions are a good bet here. While all three of their losses last year occurred at Ford Field, Detroit is a smart bet against a Chicago team that cannot seem to get out of its own way. The Lions are 6.5-point favorites at home on Sunday, and I expect them to get back on track and even their record on Sunday.
As far as the Anytime TD portion of this SGP, there is no shortage of options on Detroit’s side of the ball. Including the playoffs, Detroit has scored at least 31 points in seven of its past eight home games. I will note that the lone exception came versus Chicago in last year’s Thanksgiving game. However, the Lions amassed over 400 yards of offense in that game and led 23-7 in the third quarter. They lost a fumble in the red zone and missed a field goal. It is not as if the Bears did all that much to stifle Detroit’s offense. I can make the case for several Lions players, but my pick is going to be former Bears running back David Montgomery.
Since joining Detroit in 2023, Montgomery has scored a touchdown in 11 of 14 home games during the regular season. Detroit has won seven of those games. For the math majors out there, that is a 50 percent hit rate for this SGP. Chicago has not provided much resistance against the run since the beginning of last season. The Bears ranked 31st in the league in DVOA versus the run last year. They allowed 18 rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs in 2024. No other team in the NFL allowed more. Chicago gave up 142 total yards and a touchdown last week to the Vikings combination of Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason. The Lions should have similar success, and I expect Montgomery to find paydirt in this game. If you do not have access to Fanatics, you can get this at +145 at Caesars.
Pick: David Montgomery Anytime TD/Detroit Lions to Win (+160 at Fanatics; +145 at Caesars Sportsbook)
Carolina Panthers at Arizona Cardinals
For my final Week 2 Anytime TD & Win parlay, I am going with last week’s winning pick. Many of the same reasons I liked this play a week ago apply again here. So at the risk of repeating myself, here goes. Last year, James Conner finished third among 19 NFL running backs in touchdown conversion rate on carries inside the 10-yard line (minimum 20 carries). Ironically, the touchdown he scored last week came on a reception, but that just further illustrates that Arizona makes an effort to get Conner the ball down by the goal line. I targeted Conner last week in large part because he was facing the New Orleans Saints. This week, Conner faces the Carolina Panthers, who are one of the few teams worse than New Orleans against the run.
Carolina finished dead last in defensive DVOA versus the run last season. They allowed 24 rushing touchdowns and over 3,000 yards on the ground in 2024. Based on their Week 1 effort in a loss to Jacksonville, there has not been much improvement in that department. The Panthers allowed 200 rushing yards to the Jaguars, including 143 to lead back Travis Etienne Jr. Conner ceded a few carries to Trey Benson in last week’s victory, but he should still get the majority of work once again in this game. Conner has the shortest odds of anyone to score in this game, and with good reason.
As far as the game itself, I like the Cardinals to win and move to 2-0. While it can be hard to put too much stock into previous years’ results, Arizona was 12th in the NFL last season in total DVOA, while the Panthers ranked 30th. Those numbers were 17th and 29th, respectively, in Week 1. Even if home-field advantage is not as prevalent in today’s NFL, Arizona should be able to figure out a way to defeat Carolina on Sunday. The best price I have found for this SGP is currently +102 at ESPNBet. However, you may be able to find better odds on other sportsbooks as we get closer to gametime. For whatever reason, some books (most notably FanDuel) have not posted odds for a Conner touchdown as of early Friday morning.
Pick: James Conner Anytime TD/Arizona Cardinals to Win (+102 at ESPNBet)
