Anytime TD Picks — Long-Shot Bets
- Drake Maye 2+ Anytime Touchdowns (+2500)
- Jordan Whittington Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+1000)
Patriots vs Broncos TD Pick: Drake Maye
I think Drake Maye to score two touchdowns is a good long-shot bet for this game.
The fact that the Broncos play a heavy dose of man coverage is appealing to me as it sets up Maye to use his more often. He led the NFL in total scrambles and was second in scrambles per game behind Patrick Mahomes.
The last time Maye was more proactive around the goal line, he actually scored twice against the Bills. If the Broncos are going to be really tough in coverage and mute the Patriots' passing offense, Maye is going to have to call his own number to get the Patriots back to the Super Bowl.
Rams vs Seahawks TD Pick: Jordan Whittington
By Chris Raybon
Jordan Whittington caught two balls for 35 yards in his return last week; he actually played the most of Rams receivers not named Puka Nacua or Davante Adams
In a trailing game script, head coach Sean McVay has gone back to more three-receiver, 11 personnel looks and gone away from some of that heavy tight end stuff.
Whittington is priced at +850 for a reason — he's never scored a touchdown in two seasons as a pro. That said, the Seahawks defense is so good that it's easy to imagine them shutting down the likes of Nacua, Adams and/or Kyren Williams, leading to someone who isn't a primary option scoring.
I love going for random players to score touchdowns in spots like this, and Whittington is my guy in this one. He also gets some kick return work, which gives him extra opportunities.
