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 during the 2026 NFL season, 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.
We’ve beaten the challenge in each of the last three years. Let’s see if we can beat it again in Week 5!
NFL Parlay — Week 5 Anytime TD Picks
- Quinshon Judkins Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+165, FanDuel)
- Chris Olave Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+200, FanDuel)
- Michael Wilson Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+180, FanDuel)
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.
Browns vs Jets TD Pick: Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins punched one in at the goal line last week, and I’m going right back to him.
He’s the clear lead back for the Browns, and the red-zone usage backs it up: he has nine carries inside the 20 this year and is tied for the team lead in red-zone targets — he can get there on the ground or through the air.
He draws a Jets defense that has been completely run over lately, giving up four rushing touchdowns over the last two games.
Look for Judkins to stay hot and find the end zone again in Week 5.
Vikings vs Saints TD Pick: Chris Olave
Chris Olave only has one touchdown this year, but the volume is still elite at just over 10 targets per game.
The matchup sets up well, too.
The Vikings blitz at the highest rate in the NFL, and that aggression leaves them open to deep shots and explosive plays. That’s exactly where Olave does his damage — he leads the team in both deep targets and first-read target share.
This is a guy who scored nine touchdowns last year, so I’m betting on some positive regression and taking Olave to get his second of the season.
Lions vs Cardinals TD Pick: Michael Wilson
It’s a crime this man only has one touchdown this year.
Michael Wilson ranks second in the NFL in both red-zone targets and end-zone targets, so the Cardinals are peppering him with looks where it matters most.
He gets an excellent matchup against a Lions secondary that hasn’t stopped a pass since 2025. Detroit has allowed the most passing yards and passing touchdowns in the league this year, and this game has shootout potential.
Give me Wilson to get his second touchdown of the year.
