Our successful anytime touchdown scorer prediction for TNF kicked off Week 16 of the NFL, and we aim to continue that momentum into Sunday as we analyze the top NFL odds.

Our 2026 season anytime touchdown scorer predictions have gained 12.75 units so far. We successfully predicted New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson to score at lucrative +600 odds during Thursday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams, but lost two units during the NFL’s two Saturday games.

We aim to bounce back with a victory on Sunday before focusing on the Christmas Day tripleheader.

Here is our top anytime touchdown scorer prediction for Saturday, alongside our NFL player props and best bets for Week 16, using odds from the top NFL betting sites.

Anytime touchdown scorer predictions Week 16: Sunday

Cardinals vs. Bears anytime touchdown scorer prediction: Khalil Herbert, CHI, RB (+270 via Caesars) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Despite Christian McCaffrey scoring seven touchdowns in two games against them, the 3-11 Arizona Cardinals have given up a total of 21 touchdowns to opposing running backs this season. Thirteen of those touchdowns were scored on the ground, while the other eight were allowed through the air.

The Cardinals are once again the underdogs, this time by 4 points on the road against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field in the challenging December weather. Bears’ running back Khalil Herbert is expected to score 0.3 touchdowns, forming a strong tandem with teammate D’Onta Foreman in a promising game scenario.

Our betting calculators convert the implied 30% probability into odds of +235. The best price for a Foreman touchdown is +195 odds via DraftKings, but Caesars is offering an outlier +270 ticket on Herbert scoring a touchdown.

Anytime touchdown scorer predictions Week 16: Christmas Day

Giants vs. Eagles anytime touchdown scorer prediction: Wan’Dale Robinson, NYG, WR (+550 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐⭐

Despite the false excitement about undrafted free agent QB Tommy DeVito, the New York Giants offense has struggled significantly, even without Daniel Jones. According to NFL Savant, DeVito has only targeted receiver Isaiah Hodgins once in the red zone in Week 14. This is a stark contrast to Week 12, where three different players caught passes inside the 20-yard line.

Nonetheless, this aligns perfectly with our strategy for predicting anytime touchdown scorers for the NFL’s Christmas Day games. The New York Giants are facing the Philadelphia Eagles as 13.5-point underdogs on the road. Philadelphia has given up the most passing touchdowns to receivers in the league, with nine of them coming in the last four weeks, and two more touchdowns allowed to the position on the ground this season.

Therefore, we have our eyes on Giants wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, who is projected to score 0.2 touchdowns and has high odds of +550 on DraftKings. In his recent four games, the sophomore Robinson has caught 17 out of 20 targets for a total of 165 yards, with his highest single-game yardage being 32 yards. Additionally, he has rushed the ball eight times for 63 yards this season.

Anticipate some cunning plays from the struggling Giants team in the later stages of Monday’s second game, where Robinson is the top candidate to capitalize on the vulnerable (and possibly unmotivated) Eagles defense.

Anytime touchdown scorer predictions Week 16: Saturday

Bengals vs. Steelers anytime touchdown scorer prediction: Chase Brown, CIN, RB (+425 via BetRivers) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ❌

Despite limited playing time behind Joe Mixon, rookie fifth-round pick Chase Brown is establishing a consistent role in the Cincinnati Bengals’ offense, particularly in the passing game led by Jake Browning.

Brown has been targeted three times in each of his last two games, catching all six passes, with a notable 54-yard touchdown catch-and-run in Week 14. Although we can’t expect consistent big-play production from him, Brown has also been getting at least seven carries in his last three games. Additionally, he will be going up against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense on Saturday that has shown vulnerabilities to pass-catching running backs.

In the past four weeks, Pittsburgh’s defense has allowed two rushing touchdowns and two receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs. Throughout the season, the Steelers have given up a total of four receiving touchdowns to running backs.

Brown is expected to score 0.3 points on Saturday afternoon. According to our betting calculators, this equates to implied odds of +235. However, we were able to find an outlier ticket with odds of +425 on BetRivers. BetMGM has set the market lower with odds of +280.

Bills vs. Chargers anytime touchdown scorer prediction: Quentin Johnston, LA, WR (+500 via BetMGM) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ❌

After Week 15, all previous knowledge about Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston can be disregarded.

The rookie first-round pick had not scored a touchdown in his first 13 NFL games and was starting to be labeled as a draft disappointment. Despite only catching two out of three passes in last week’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, he finally scored in his first full game with QB Easton Stick leading the offense.

With Keenan Allen out for the second week in a row, Johnston will once again be the main target in the passing game after playing a season-high 92% of snaps last week. This game will also mark the Chargers’ first since parting ways with head coach Brandon Staley.

Johnston is expected to score 0.2 touchdowns against a Bills defense that has allowed four touchdowns (including one rushing score) to wide receivers in the past four weeks. This 20% chance should translate to odds of +400, but we are finding great value at +500 from BetMGM.

Anytime touchdown scorer predictions Week 16: Thursday Night Football

Saints vs. Rams anytime touchdown scorer prediction: Juwan Johnson, NO, TE (+600 via Caesars) ⭐⭐⭐ ✅

When I look for potential anytime touchdown scorers, I always prioritize analyzing positional matchups. Through my experience, I have found that tight ends have consistently been the most reliable and profitable positional advantage against a defense.

The Rams and Saints have both allowed seven touchdowns to opposing tight ends this season, second only to the Denver Broncos who have allowed nine. Despite this, Caesars is offering odds of just +320 for Rams tight end Tyler Higbee to score 0.2 touchdowns, while Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has the same projection but better odds of +600.

The odds converter from Underscoreg Review translates a 20% probability of Johnson scoring a touchdown into +400 odds. BetMGM offers the lowest price at +375 among our top NFL prop betting sites, while Caesars’ +600 odds stand out as the highest.

Use our Caesars promo code, SBRBONUS1000, to secure the top odds for a Johnson touchdown.

Although tight end Jimmy Graham has scored in three consecutive games, the Saints’ positional group is due for some regression. Johnson, the second most used tight end on the team this season, has caught five out of six red-zone targets but has only scored one touchdown on those receptions. Despite this, he did score his second touchdown of the season last week, which may lead to an increased role in exploiting favorable matchups.
