Thursday Night Football brings a key Week 7 matchup between the Denver Broncos and New Orleans Saints. With both teams facing injuries to key players, betting on anytime touchdowns can be a profitable angle. Saints' star running back Alvin Kamara, Broncos' big-bodied wideout Courtland Sutton, and Denver QB Bo Nix all present intriguing options to find the end zone. Let’s break down the best anytime touchdown picks for this exciting showdown.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara to Score a TD (+100, DraftKings)
With seven touchdowns through six weeks, Kamara should be the focal point of the Saints offense in this game, particularly since Chris Olave (concussion) and Rasheed Shaheed (knee) will likely be out while Derek Carr (oblique) will be out once again. Rookie Spencer Rattler will be under center again against this elite Broncos defense and I think we’re going to see 20-plus touches from Kamara in this one, just like we did in Weeks 1 and 2 when New Orleans was victorious. Kamara can be utilized as a runner and receiver and has seen 23 red zone opportunities compared to 26 from all of his skill position teammates combined.

Broncos WR Courtland Sutton to Score a TD (+260, FanDuel)
Sutton has had eight red zone opportunities so far, which is two more than all other Broncos wide receivers and tight ends combined. The 6’4” wideout has scored a touchdown in two of his last three starts, including last week against the Chargers. The Saints have allowed lots of big plays to wideouts (3rd-most 20+ yard receptions), so it isn’t just his red zone play that has me excited about his potential. While New Orleans’ defense has only allowed three touchdowns to wideouts in six games, he will most likely be the target on downfield throws by Nix.
Broncos QB Bo Nix to Score a TD (+255, FanDuel)
Nix is one of Denver’s top red zone options and has scored three rushing touchdowns so far this season. With surprisingly-elite speed, he has competition from Javonte Williams and Jaleel Mclaughlin, who have two combined touchdowns (one rushing, one receiving). There should be some opportunities for designed runs and RPO’s in the red zone once again and I’d rather take a shot on Nix at this price than either running back based on what we’ve seen this season.
