NFL Week 3 Anytime & First TD Scorers: Texans vs. Vikings (2024)
Last week started so well. My first pick of the week, Chris Godwin, hit his Anytime Touchdown (ATD) as well as his First Touchdown (FTD) for a cool +250/+1700 payout. After that, however, there was not much for me to crow about. I did hit a few other ATDs, but they were few and far between. Such is the nature of the ATD and FTD beast. I am back at it again this week to hopefully have better results.
As I have mentioned previously and will continue to emphasize, I am tracking these using bet sizes of 0.4 units on ATD and 0.1 units on FTD. Use your discretion and adjust as you see fit. We compare anytime touchdown stats to prop bet odds and projections to help identify this week's best bets. Here are all of my NFL first and anytime TD picks for Week 4. Below we dive into my top NFL anytime and first TD picks for Texans vs. Vikings.

Texans vs. Vikings
Justin Jefferson
- Anytime TD Odds: +130 at FanDuel Sportsbook
- First TD Odds: +950 at FanDuel Sportsbook
Justin Jefferson caught touchdowns in each of Minnesota's first two games this season. Jefferson looks to build on his hot start when the Vikings host the Houston Texans. Minnesota removed Jefferson from the Week 3 injury report, so he should be a full go by Sunday. Meanwhile, fellow wide receiver Jordan Addison is out with an ankle injury. Jefferson figures to be involved early and often.
Houston has stymied opposing running backs through two weeks, holding them to just 75 yards on 33 carries and 28 receiving yards on six receptions. This should cause Minnesota to attack Houston via the air. The Texans held Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears receivers in check last week, but their leaky secondary served up two deep touchdown passes in Week 1 to the Indianapolis Colts. I like Jefferson to keep his scoring streak intact in this matchup. I also love the FTD odds we get with Jefferson. This +950 price is a bigger payout than usually accompanies a +130 ATD bet.
