Eagles vs Rams SNF: 6 Favorite NFL Anytime Touchdown Best Bets

We have an exciting Sunday Night Football matchup set featuring the Los Angeles Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles, so we put together our top touchdown props for the action.
How to Approach Saquon Barkley (-170)
Saquon Barkley is the MVP of the Eagles, and it’s understandable to want to back his touchdown prop, but I can’t do so straight up at -170. If anything, we should back him to score twice at +330 for maximum value. Despite scoring ten touchdowns on the season, he’s only scored in five of ten games. Four of his five games with touchdowns this season are multi-touchdown games, and with DeVonta Smith now sidelined, it’s fair to expect Saquon to be a significant factor both on the ground and in the passing game. You could always parlay him to find the endzone with the Eagles to win at +135, but we’ll just bet him to score twice at +330, knowing the trend of his season.
Fade: Kyren Williams (-195)
When all the Rams’ pass catchers are at full strength, Kyren Williams is not a significant factor in the red zone. Despite being priced at -195 to score a touchdown, he hasn’t reached the endzone in three straight weeks. His red zone production has been down, so I can’t back him to score a touchdown with confidence. If you like the Rams to win this game, potentially parlaying him to score a touchdown with a Rams win would be a good idea, but there is no value to be had here unless you get creative. However, I’m among the belief that if the Rams were to win this game, it’s far more likely to be powered by an elite showing through the air.

Must Bet: Jalen Hurts (-130)
We’ve benefited greatly in recent weeks from Jalen Hurts being priced wrong to score a touchdown on the ground at near plus money, but the sportsbooks have caught up as he’s now -130 to rush for a touchdown. Hurts has ten touchdowns across the past five weeks with his legs, and he’s not afraid to take off near the endzone or fall back on the “tush push." Instead of laying -130, I’ll parlay him to rush for at least 25 yards alongside a touchdown for a +110 parlay.
Cooper Kupp (+155) or Puka Nacua (+160)?
The Eagles defense has been fantastic in recent weeks as their young defensive backs have been locking down opposing wide receivers, and now they’ll have their toughest test as they’ll face the pairing of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua with Matthew Stafford operating at a high level. Kupp is priced at +155 to find the endzone, and Nacua is priced at +160, but who is the better option to back? Looking at recent weeks, I may give Nacua a slight edge in the target category, but Kupp is still the proven commodity and a more vital red-zone threat.
If you’re optimistic about the Rams’ chances of winning this game, it would have to be through the air, so parlaying both Kupp and Nacua to score in a winning effort for a +950 bet is a must.
AJ Brown (+125)
AJ Brown at +125 is always a wise bet to find the endzone, especially considering that DeVonta Smith has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury. He hasn’t found the endzone in four straight games but has become the focal point of the passing attack against a mediocre Rams defense. I understand making a wager on AJ Brown finding the endzone. Still, I would much rather empty the clip on creative touchdown bets surrounding Jalen Hurts, which Pennsylvania bettors can do with numerous bonuses to choose from.
Longshot: Blake Corum (+800)
We’re staying away from Kyren Williams this week, but we’re not entirely passing on LA’s running back room as we will sprinkle in a longshot wager on Blake Corum at +800 to find the endzone. Despite Williams being the focal point of the rushing attack, Corum was the only running back to receive a red-zone carry last week. At +800, it’s worth taking a shot because it’s only a matter of time before the Rams split their carries entirely.
