Thursday Night Football in Week 5 features a key NFC South matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons, with plenty of exciting anytime touchdown (TD) scoring options. Here are the top value picks for bettors looking to cash in on TD scorers during this pivotal game.
Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (+160, Caesars)
Coming off a season-high 42% snap count in Week 4, Bucky Irving has emerged as a key red-zone threat for Tampa Bay. He saw all five of the team's running back opportunities inside the 20 last week, scoring his first career touchdown. Irving rushed for 49 yards on 10 carries and added a reception for six yards, showcasing his potential as an RB1. His increased workload suggests he may soon overtake Rachaad White as the lead back, making him a strong bet to find the end zone again this week.
Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier (+275, DraftKings)
Tyler Allgeier has shockingly been more efficient than Bijan Robinson this season, averaging an impressive 6.1 yards per carry with 166 rushing yards on 27 attempts. Despite Robinson’s prominent role and perceived star status, Allgeier has been utilized in the red zone with six opportunities compared to Robinson’s seven. While Tampa Bay’s run defense is traditionally tough under head coach Todd Bowles, Allgeier’s strong performances and the short week could result in extra touches, making him a valuable anytime TD option.
Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (+175, FanDuel)
Chris Godwin has thrived in Tampa Bay's offense under new offensive coordinator Liam Coen, recording 322 yards and three touchdowns on 27 receptions through four games. With Mike Evans and Trey Palmer dealing with injuries, Godwin is poised for another big game, especially working out of the slot. Star cornerback A.J. Terrell is likely to shadow Evans on the outside, leaving Godwin to capitalize on his opportunities and potentially find the end zone for the fourth time this season.
