As the NFL season progresses into Week 7, the action on the field becomes more intense, with teams fighting for positioning and players looking to make their mark. This week, we've identified some standout players who are primed to find the end zone. From explosive running backs to key offensive roles, these anytime touchdown picks offer compelling betting opportunities. Whether you're looking to boost your parlay or simply capitalize on favorable odds, these selections will help you make informed choices as the competition heats up. Let's dive into our top picks for this week!
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley to Score a TD vs. Giants (-155, FanDuel)
Think this game is going to mean something for Barkley, who will be back at MetLife Stadium for the first time as a member of the Eagles? As someone who has an explosive burst to begin with, I think he’s going to be running with a ton of aggression and purpose in this one. We’re getting such a great price on him because he’s failed to find the end zone in three of his five starts, but in those two games when he found paydirt, he went off with multiple touchdowns (two vs. the Saints and three vs. the Packers).
Barkley shockingly didn’t receive a red zone opportunity in either of the last two weeks, but that’s been a product of bad outings by Philly’s entire offense. He saw nine and then seven red zone opportunities in the first two weeks of the season and has amassed 22 so far, compared to just 13 from his skill position teammates combined.
Titans RB Tony Pollard to Score a TD vs. Bills (+120, BetMGM)
Pollard has firmly overtaken the role as RB1 on the Titans and has some positive factors working in his favor once again this week. First, backup Tyjae Spears will be out with an injury. Second, Mason Rudolph will start in place of turnover-prone Will Levis. Next, Pollard is on a hot streak, scoring touchdowns in back-to-back weeks after getting 24 and then 20 touches. On the season, he’s gotten 19, 22, nine, 24 and 20 touches, which is an elite workload.
The Bills have allowed the 8th-most rushing yards per carry and 4th-most receiving yards per receptions to opposing running backs, so this is a solid matchup for him, regardless of game script. I suspect Tennessee’s game plan will revolve around running the football with him and if they fall behind, he will be utilized in the passing game. I love him this week.
Browns RB Nick Chubb to Score a TD vs. Bengals (+135, FanDuel)
After seemingly shredding his leg last season, Chubb is making his triumphant return against Cleveland’s division rivals. In desperate need of a win, Chubb has not reportedly been put under a specific workload restriction and while it’d be smart to not run him into the ground, he should be heavily utilized when he’s on the field, especially since Jerome Ford is out.
The Bengals have allowed an average of one touchdown per game to opposing running backs, including four consecutive games, and this will be an emotional homecoming for the crowd favorite who knows that Browns fans need something to cheer for. His comeback is a source of excitement for the city as a whole and I like this price for one of the best in the sport. If Cleveland gets near the endzone, the ball will be going to Chubb.
