NFL Touchdown Props: The Best Bets for Week 8
As the 2024-25 NFL season rolls into Week 8, sportsbooks are buzzing with excitement as NFL touchdown props become available for all 16 games. For sports betting enthusiasts, these props represent a thrilling way to engage with the games beyond traditional betting. Touchdown props, particularly any-time touchdown scorer bets, are widely popular among the betting public, offering a fun way to wager on individual player performance. As a professional bettor, I’ve delved deep into the statistics and odds to pinpoint the best values for this week.
Before diving into this week’s picks, it’s worth noting my experience from last week. Despite facing some unfortunate luck with players like Demario Douglas, who exited early due to illness, and Chris Godwin, who had a touchdown nullified by a penalty, I still managed a decent 4-6 on my TD picks, ultimately losing just 1.03 units. I’m optimistic that with some careful selections, this week can yield better results.
Week 8 Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks
Here are the ten players I believe present the best value to score a touchdown in Week 8, along with their respective odds:
Player | Anytime TD Odds |
---|---|
Justin Jefferson | -115 (FanDuel) |
David Montgomery | -110 (DraftKings) |
David Njoku | +290 (Caesars) |
Anthony Richardson | +190 (DraftKings) |
Breece Hall | -138 (bet365) |
AJ Brown | +150 (bet365) |
Drake London | +125 (bet365) |
Kareem Hunt | -125 (bet365) |
Javonte Williams | +100 (Caesars) |
D’Andre Swift | +130 (DraftKings) |
I’m applying a strategic approach by risking a half-unit on each of these players, except for Kareem Hunt, where I’m placing a full unit due to his outstanding form.
Game Analysis and Player Insights
1. Justin Jefferson
Justin Jefferson has been a touchdown machine, scoring in five out of six games this season. This week, he faces a Rams defense ranking in the bottom tier for pass defense, allowing the third-most touchdowns through the air. Given the Vikings’ recent loss and the need to bounce back, expect them to turn to Jefferson early and often.
Pick: Justin Jefferson Anytime TD (-115 at FanDuel)
2. David Montgomery
After experiencing a rare week without a touchdown, David Montgomery is poised for a rebound. Facing the Titans—who boast impressive defensive stats—but against a not-so-genius schedule, Montgomery is still expected to break through against a team allowing a respectable amount of yards.
Pick: David Montgomery Anytime TD (-110 at DraftKings)
3. David Njoku
With the departure of Amari Cooper and Deshaun Watson sidelined, tight end David Njoku emerged as a reliable target. Njoku caught 10 passes for 76 yards and a touchdown last week, and as the Ravens present a weak pass defense, he could replicate this success.
Pick: David Njoku Anytime TD (+290 at Caesars)
4. Anthony Richardson
Richardson returned from injury with a vengeance, rushing 14 times last week. As he faces Houston again, expect him to use his legs when the Colts enter the red zone, especially if Jonathan Taylor draws defensive focus.
Pick: Anthony Richardson Anytime TD (+190 at DraftKings)
5. Breece Hall
The Jets have a favorable matchup against the Patriots, who have struggled significantly against the run. Hall has seen the end zone in four of seven games this season and could easily add to that total this week.
Pick: Breece Hall Anytime TD (-138 at bet365)
6. AJ Brown
With three touchdowns in only three games this season, AJ Brown faces a Bengals defense that has shown vulnerability. Given his connection with Jalen Hurts and past performance, these odds feel very enticing.
Pick: AJ Brown Anytime TD (+150 at bet365)
7. Drake London
Drake London has scored in five of his last six games and has a favorable matchup against the Buccaneers. With a stellar performance in their prior matchup this season, London looks to continue his scoring streak.
Pick: Drake London Anytime TD (+125 at bet365)
8. Kareem Hunt
Hunt has been a focal point of the Chiefs’ offense, particularly in the red zone, boasting three touchdowns over the last two games. Facing the struggling Raiders, Hunt is expected to find the end zone again.
Pick: Kareem Hunt Anytime TD (-125 at bet365)
9. Javonte Williams
After finally finding the end zone twice, Williams is up against a Panthers defense that has allowed the most rushing touchdowns this season. The expected game script also favors a run-heavy approach for Denver.
Pick: Javonte Williams Anytime TD (+100 at Caesars)
10. D’Andre Swift
Swift has turned his season around recently, becoming a more effective rusher. Matched up against the Commanders, who are weak against the run, I anticipate another solid performance for Swift that includes a touchdown.
Pick: D’Andre Swift Anytime TD (+130 at DraftKings)
Conclusion
Week 8 of the NFL season presents a wealth of opportunity for savvy bettors.
