Betting an NFL Parlay with Anytime Touchdown scorers is incredibly fun, even if they’re mostly a losing proposition that will drain your bankroll if you’re not careful. Most sportsbooks tend to clean up on this bet type, so how do we scratch the parlay itch without overextending ourselves?
Allow me to introduce “The 180 Challenge” — here’s how it works in case you're not familiar with the concept:
Each week, I bet on a three-leg Anytime TD parlay that equates to somewhere around +1800 or more. $10 per parlay ticket, $180 total for the season.
The goal is to win as much as possible. But the safety net is that you only need to hit one parlay all season to make your money back.
If you go 0-18 (which is unfortunate), the positive spin is it's only $180. This way, we can still participate in fun touchdown parlays while managing our bankroll and not going overboard on bad spending habits.
Here’s my NFL Anytime Touchdown Parlay for Week 18.
NFL Parlay — Week 18 Anytime TD Picks
- Trey McBride Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+165, bet365)
- Tee Higgins Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+170, bet365)
- Jaxson Dart Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+165, bet365)
Parlay Odds: +1796 via bet365
Cardinals vs. Rams TD Pick: Trey McBride
Trey McBride already has 11 touchdowns this year, and with that success, I have to keep riding with the Cardinals tight end in the regular-season finale.
I know he didn’t score when he played the Rams in Week 14, but he still saw nine targets with two of those in the end zone.
With the Rams expected to play their starters, and Arizona QB Jacoby Brissett continuously spamming McBride with targets near the goal line, McBride is my favorite TD bet of this game.
Browns vs. Bengals TD Pick: Tee Higgins
The Bengals' star wide receiver has scored 10 touchdowns, and he has been on a tear this season against man coverage.
He leads the Bengals in target share and receiving TDs vs man defenses, and the Browns play man coverage at the highest rate in the NFL.
With the way Joe Burrow is throwing the ball, I think Tee Higgins should get in the end zone again this week.
Cowboys vs. Giants TD Pick: Jaxson Dart
The Giants quarterback has nine TDs this season, and he scored twice last week against the Raiders, so we're hoping the streak continues.
Jaxson Dart is tied for second amongst all QBs with nine rushing touchdowns, but he has done so in just 11 games.
After taking some big hits, the Giants put him in a bubble wrap for a few weeks, but with this being the season finale and playing at home, we can grab Dart in another excellent spot.
Disclaimer: 18-1 parlays have less than 5% chance of hitting, and that percentage only shrinks as you increase the parlay odds. Keep your expectations in check and bet on these for recreation.
