NFL Week 10 Anytime Touchdown Picks: Chris Olave, Jonathan Taylor Among Five Bets to Consider

The 10th NFL Sunday of the season arrives this weekend with a full slate of intriguing matchups. Kirk Cousins leads the Minnesota Vikings against Jordan Love and the red-hot Green Bay Packers, the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints meet in an important divisional game at the Superdome, and the lead in the AFC North is at stake when the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals square off on Sunday Night Football.

Anytime touchdown bets have become popular wagers among football fans because of their longer odds, and even an expected scorer can make for a fun parlay leg. Here are five anytime touchdown bets to consider for Week 10, with odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook. The selections aim to avoid predictable choices with zero value, such as a Jahmyr Gibbs or Bijan Robinson score, while also steering clear of wild long shots like a team defense.

First up is Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. at +155. Bhayshul Tuten remains the lead back in Jacksonville, but he missed two practices this week with ankle and foot injuries. Rodriguez is the team's goal-line back and has scored touchdowns in two consecutive games despite receiving just 16 rushing attempts. With the Jaguars facing the lowly Tennessee Titans, Rodriguez should get another chance at a goal-line score, which could come easier now that Jeffery Simmons is no longer on that defensive line. He could also see more touches if the game turns into a blowout.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave is next at +150. Olave has finished under 100 yards receiving in four straight games after topping the mark in three of his first four to open the season, and he has recorded only two receptions of 20 or more air yards over the last four games. The prediction here is that Olave gets back on track against a Panthers secondary that allowed Bo Nix one of his best outings of the season last week and was diced up by Christian Watson and Matthew Golden the week before. Olave has scored touchdowns in each of his last two games against Carolina.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor comes in at -120, the shortest price on the list. Suggesting a -120 touchdown scorer is not ideal, but the situation is appealing: Taylor can finally exhale now that the trade deadline has officially passed, and the Colts host one of the worst teams in the NFL, one that is starting a quarterback who has never taken a snap in an NFL game. Taylor scores on Sunday.

For a long shot, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Keenan Allen sits at +360. Allen played the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday while still with the Colts, and after being traded to the 49ers on Tuesday, he will face the Cowboys again this Sunday. Mike Evans will not play again this week, though Deebo Samuel is back. Allen just got to town, but Kyle Shanahan could utilize him the way he used Evans earlier in the year in the red zone. This is the flier of the week.

Finally, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is listed at +120. A bet on Higgins to score against the Steelers in Week 3 was a winner earlier this year; he had caught touchdowns in each of his previous two games against Pittsburgh and cashed at +175 with six catches for 90 yards and a score. Higgins has caught six touchdowns in eight games this season.

Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase have been virtually unguardable, combining for 47 catches, 693 yards and eight touchdowns over the last three games. Chase is available at -120 to find the end zone, but the plus money on Higgins is the preference. The Bengals are on an absolute roll, having scored at least 34 points in three straight games, and there is no reason to stop riding this passing attack now.
