5 Best Anytime Touchdown Bets for Patriots at Steelers

Pittsburgh Defense (+700)

The Steelers' defense is one of seven units in football to have forced 20 turnovers this season. Do we really expect Bailey Zappe to protect the ball for a full 60 minutes? Come on now. Maybe he’ll protect the ball through the air, but with someone like TJ Watt constantly barrelling down on him, are we sure Zappe can hold on for dear life? I don’t. At +700, there is value on the Steelers' defense making a huge play at home.

Ezekiel Elliott (+220)

Ezekiel Elliott will be the Patriots workhorse running back tonight with Rhamondre Stevenson sidelined. Last week, Zeke had a 17-carry outing with Stevenson still eating nine carries, so knowing there is no Stevenson and that the Patriots want to throw the ball as little as possible with Bailey Zappe, it’s highly likely that Zeke exceeds 20 rush attempts. If I’m getting 20 carries from a running back who is +220 to find the endzone, you bet I’m throwing some dollars on that.

Diontae Johnson (+310)

Diontae Johnson will likely lead the Steelers tonight in receptions, and Mitch Trubisky already threw him a touchdown last week. At +310, there isn’t a better option through the air to find the endzone for the Steelers.

DeVante Parker (+500)

I don’t expect Bailey Zappe to throw a touchdown tonight, but if he does, I’d be shocked if it wasn’t to DeVante Parker. Last week, Parker led the Patriots in targets with nine, earning himself a 36% target share from Zappe. At +500, who else can you reliably bet?
