Buccaneers vs Bears Anytime Touchdown Props
Buccaneers vs Bears Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks
Colston Loveland Anytime Touchdown (+165)
Colston Loveland has two touchdowns on the season and leads the Bears with five end-zone targets.
He has at least seven targets in each of the last three games, and with Cole Kmet out these past two weeks, you can expect to see an increase in route participation and target rate, like we saw last week against the Seahawks.
The Buccaneers' pass defense has played well this season, but they've still allowed five touchdowns to tight ends this season.

Emeka Egbuka Anytime Touchdown (+220)
Emeka Egbuka has three touchdowns this year and currently leads the Bucs with five end-zone targets.
He missed the last two games with a foot injury, but he is on the right side of questionable after logging practices all week in the lead up to tonight's game, which profiles as a plus matchup for him.
The Bears pass defense has allowed 13 passing touchdowns this season, with eight of them going to wide receivers. They also rank in the top six in man coverage rates, which plays perfectly into Egbuka's strengths. He leads the Bucs in target rate against those defenses.
The Bucs are finally going to be a in a game that will force Baker Mayfield to throw the ball, so I like the odds on Egbuka to score his fourth touchdown of the season.
