Sports betting: Saquon Barkley and Amon-Ra St. Brown among the favorites to score a TD this week
Saquon Barkley, Amon-Ra St. Brown lead the way in TD market
With the NFL season underway, sportsbooks are offering a variety of prop bets for each week's games. One of the most popular prop bets is the anytime touchdown scorer market. This bet simply requires you to pick a player to score a touchdown at any point during the game. The odds for each player vary depending on their likelihood to score, but some of the favorites for Week 1 include Saquon Barkley, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Travis Kelce.
Barkley is the lead back for the New York Giants, and he is coming off a season in which he rushed for over 1,000 yards and scored 10 touchdowns. He is expected to be heavily involved in the Giants' offense this season, and he is a good bet to find the end zone at least once in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans.
Other players to consider
St. Brown is the top target in the Detroit Lions' passing game, and he is coming off a breakout season in which he caught over 90 passes for over 1,000 yards and six touchdowns. He is expected to be even more involved in the Lions' offense this season, and he is a good bet to score a touchdown in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Kelce is the best tight end in the NFL, and he is coming off a season in which he caught 92 passes for over 1,100 yards and nine touchdowns. He is the Chiefs' go-to target in the red zone, and he is a good bet to score a touchdown in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Of course, there are other players who could score a touchdown in Week 1. Some other players to consider include:
- Alvin Kamara, RB, New Orleans Saints
- Davante Adams, WR, Las Vegas Raiders
- Stefon Diggs, WR, Buffalo Bills
- Cooper Kupp, WR, Los Angeles Rams
- Christian McCaffrey, RB, Carolina Panthers
- Justin Jefferson, WR, Minnesota Vikings
- Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers
