Vikings vs Rams TNF: 6 Favorite NFL Anytime Touchdown Best Bets

Week 8 kicks off tonight with what should be a high-scoring battle between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams, so here are our top touchdown bets for tonight’s game.

How to Approach Kyren Williams (-185)

Kyren Williams has scored a touchdown in every game this season for a combined nine touchdowns overall, but it’s hard to bet him straight up at -185. I recommend working him into your bet slip if you like the Rams to keep this game from being a blowout. By parlaying him to find the endzone with the Rams +7.5 on the alternate spread, you get a much more favorable bet at -115. 

Justin Jefferson (-115) or Aaron Jones (-120)?

Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones are priced in the same ballpark tonight, with both guys laying the juice, so who should we ride with? Both have value, but I must ride with Jefferson against a Rams’ pass defense that’s struggled all season. Jefferson has found the endzone in five of six games this season, whereas Jones has done it three times. Instead of laying the -115, look to parlay him to find the endzone and make six catches at +160.

Cooper Kupp (+125)

Anytime Cooper Kupp steps on the field, he becomes an unbelievable touchdown threat. Getting him at +125 is a dream tonight that we rarely see in what should be a high-scoring game, and I’m all over it. I can’t see Kupp being put on any snap count in his return from injury, and I expect him to see double-digit targets comfortably. At +125, don’t overthink this one!

Fade: Jordan Addison (+160)

If we get a Jordan Addison touchdown, it almost has to be off a deep shot where he catches it and runs it to the endzone, and that’s not something I’m willing to back at just +160. If I can bet Kupp at +125, there is no reason to bet Addison at +160. His target upside and red-zone volume are not what we’re looking for.

Longshot: Tutu Atwell (+340)

Tutu Atwell emerged as an exciting weapon in the wake of Kupp’s absence, as he’s averaged 71 receiving yards across the past four weeks and has combined for 19 targets across the last two games. His volume will decrease tonight with Kupp back, but I can’t imagine him being a non-factor. Even though he didn’t score a touchdown during that stretch, I’ll take the +340 price I’m getting tonight, as I can’t ignore his dynamic speed and ability to take a carry out of the backfield in the red zone.

Longshot: Josh Oliver (+1100)

This may be the grossest tout of the night, but sometimes, you have to have some fun. Josh Oliver is the TE2 for the Vikings, who only has five catches on the season. However, he does have a touchdown. Kevin O’Connell has a knack for being extra creative in the red zone, and on a short week, that creativity will have to be amplified big time. Come on now, you can’t imagine him coming off the block at the two-yard line and catching a dime from Sam Darnold? At +1100, this is a long shot, but we’re getting a sweet price on someone who has already found the endzone this season. This should be more like +650, so I’ll take the perceived value.
