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 would be unfortunate), the positive spin is that it's only $180. This way, we can still participate in fun touchdown parlays while managing our bankroll without going overboard on bad spending habits.
Here’s my Anytime Touchdown Parlay for Week 7.
NFL Parlay — Week 7 Anytime TD Picks
- George Pickens Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+160, FanDuel)
- Xavier Worthy Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+180, FanDuel)
- Drake Maye Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+310, FanDuel)
Parlay Odds: +2185 via bet365
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.
Commanders vs Cowboys TD Pick: George Pickens
Even with CeeDee Lamb returning to the lineup, George Pickens has simply been on another level for the Cowboys this season.
He leads the NFL with 13 end-zone targets and has scored in five straight games, proving to be one of the most reliable touchdown threats in the league right now.
With a high total expected in this matchup against the Commanders, there’s no need to overthink it — Pickens is in a prime position to keep his streak alive this week.
Raiders vs Chiefs TD Pick: Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy finally got on the board last week, and the signs point to more production ahead.
Worthy has now seen an end-zone target in three straight games, showing that his role in scoring situations is growing.
Even with Rashee Rice returning, Worthy is likely the only Chiefs receiver whose usage won’t take a hit.
This week’s matchup is a favorable one, as the Raiders play zone coverage at the highest rate in the NFL — and Worthy leads the team in targets per route run against zone defenses.
Given the setup, this looks like another strong opportunity for him to find the end zone in Week 7.
Titans vs Patriots TD Pick: Drake Maye
Drake Maye has already rushed for two touchdowns this season and continues to be a real threat with his legs, ranking third among all quarterbacks in total scrambles.
Now he gets a favorable matchup against a Titans' defense that ranks 26th in run defense DVOA and has already given up 11 rushing touchdowns on the year.
With New England expected to lean heavily on the ground game, this sets up perfectly for Maye to capitalize near the goal line and find the end zone once again.
