NFL touchdown props for all 15 games in Week 9 of the 2024-25 NFL season are now available. Though NFL TD props are the most popular prop to bet, there is a fair amount of research that needs to go into them in order to make intelligent wagers. I certainly appreciate how difficult this may be for someone who doesn’t work in the sports betting industry, and that’s why I have gone ahead and done all that research for you! I have gone through all the NFL touchdown odds and relevant statistics for each player suiting up this week. The result is 11 players I am betting to score a touchdown in Week 9.

I went 5-6 on my 11 picks from last week, with the 11th pick (Kittle anytime TD) being added Sunday, to win 1.13 units. As is always the case, I am sticking with anytime touchdown props, as I feel first TD scorer props are too unpredictable and lack value.

Tank Dell +200 (FanDuel)
James Cook -110 (bet365)

I am risking a half-unit on each of the NFL touchdown picks above, except for James Cook and Kareem Hunt, who are both full-unit bets. This is the first week I am laying two full-unit bets, but I couldn’t say no on either Cook or Hunt. The value is too much.

I have covered all the prime time games for Week 9 above as well as a good number of the Sunday afternoon games. There are four games I am avoiding at the moment, as I feel they’ll be defensive battles (or just poor offensive output) and few touchdowns scored. But be sure to follow me on Twitter/X in case I change my mind on any of those.

If you are interested to read why I like any of the 11 players above to score a TD this weekend, you can find my analysis below.

Tank Dell

If not for an awful drop in the endzone two weeks ago, Tank Dell would have a touchdown in every game Nico Collins has not played. Even with the drop, Dell still has a touchdown in two of the three Collins-less games. Houston will now play their Week 9 game against the Jets without Collins and Stefon Diggs, whose season ended last week after he tore his ACL.

Houston will certainly be looking to players like Xavier Hutchinson and John Metchie III to step up, but Dell is now the go-to guy for an offense that’s best when CJ Stroud is putting the ball in the air. The Texans are also a team who isn’t afraid of throwing the ball inside the ten-yard-line. They have run the ball 17 times, three of which were Stroud carries, inside the ten, versus 15 pass attempts. Of those 15 pass attempts, five have gone to Collins, while Diggs and Dell have each seen four targets.

I do appreciate that the Jets are second against the pass and have only given up six TDs through the air, but they’re not going to totally shutdown Stroud. I’m expecting Dell to see a massive share of the targets on Thursday night, and think he’s too explosive to keep out of the endzone with so many opportunities. I especially love the price we’re getting on Dell’s anytime touchdown odds.

  • Pick: Tank Dell Anytime TD (+200 at FanDuel)

James Cook

I do not understand why every sportsbook doesn’t have James Cook’s anytime TD odds around the -180 we are seeing at DraftKings. But I’m thrilled not every sportsbook has followed suit, as it opens my favorite touchdown bet of the week.

Cook has scored a touchdown in five of seven games, which includes a TD in each of his last four. If that’s not attractive enough, let’s remember Cook scored three (3!) touchdowns in the Bills’ Week 2 meeting with the Dolphins. Miami has actually given up ten rushing touchdowns this season, tied for fourth-most in the league.

Cook has scored eight of Buffalo’s 27 touchdowns this season, while three players are tied for the second-most with three apiece. He has had a real nose for the endzone this season, and I love him to score a touchdown this week, especially at -110 odds.

  • Pick: James Cook Anytime TD (-110 at bet365)

Ja’Marr Chase

At 3-5, the Cincinnati Bengals are a very desperate team. We have already heard Joe Burrow say this week’s game against the Raiders is a must-win. When Burrow and the Bengals are desperate, they typically look to a specific player: Ja’Marr Chase.

Chase leads the Bengals in touchdowns with seven, and he has scored a TD in five of his last six games after being held out of the endzone each of the first two weeks of the season. Chase might also be without his sidekick Tee Higgins in this one, which I think really fixes Burrow’s eyes on his former LSU teammate.

I also think the Bengals defense is bad enough that any NFL offense is going to put up some points against them, even the Raiders. We saw the Panthers score 24 against them earlier this season. So, I don’t foresee Cincinnati being able to just sit on a big lead for very long in this one, and believe they’ll be putting the ball in Chase’s hands as much as they can. When that happens, Chase usually finds his way to a TD.

  • Pick: Ja’Marr Chase Anytime TD (-130 at Caesars)

Drake London

Surprisingly, Drake London let me down last week. But I’m coming right back to him. In spite of London not scoring last week, he still saw six of Kirk Cousins’ 29 pass attempts, and Cousins did throw for three TDs.

London gets a juicy matchup in Week 9, as the Falcons take on the Cowboys. Dallas has allowed the second-most points in the league, and are 29th in net yards allowed per pass attempt. The Cowboys have also surrendered ten touchdowns through the air, in spite of three of their seven games being against Deshaun Watson, Daniel Jones, and Justin Fields.

With desperation starting to set in down in Dallas, I also like their offense to put up some points of their own, ensuring Atlanta has to keep their foot on the gas for most of the game. London has already scored a touchdown in five of eight games this season, and I love him to score a TD this Sunday at +125 odds.

  • Pick: Drake London Anytime TD (+125 at FanDuel)

Taysom Hill

Taysom Hill has scored two touchdowns in his four games this season, but scored both of those TDs in the same game. However, Hill remains a real part of New Orleans’ offense, as he has seen six touches in three of four. I think he could be an even more prominent part of the offense in Week 9 as the Saints take on the Panthers, who have allowed the most points in the league.

I believe Hill will benefit from Derek Carr likely to be back under center, and Jamaal Williams nursing a groin injury. Not to mention, this coaching staff loves Hill and his do-it-all mentality. So, a week after forcing a safety to get two of their eight points, I also like the staff to look to reward him in a game where New Orleans should see plenty of opportunities in the red zone.

  • Pick: Taysom Hill Anytime TD (+230 at DraftKings)

Brian Robinson Jr

Prior to this hamstring injury popping up, which resulted in him being a limited participant at Wednesday’s practice, Brian Robinson Jr’s anytime touchdown odds for Week 9 were as short as -150. I found him at +115 at FanDuel to find the endzone at the time of writing this, which I think is fantastic value.

I have kept this a half-unit bet because of the possibility that Robinson is actually limited this Sunday, but even when he has had limitations in the past, he seems to remain their goal line and short yardage back.

Robinson and the Commanders take on the Giants in Week 9. It’s their second time seeing the G-Men this season, where the first meeting marks Robinson’s best game of the season (so far). He rushed for a season-high 133 yards on 17 carries (7.8 YPC), but did not score a touchdown, as Washington only managed seven field goals on the day. It’s only one of two games this season where Robinson has failed to score a touchdown, as he has a TD in five of seven.

Though they have not given up many rushing TDs (just six), the Giants are one of the league’s worst defenses against the run, allowing a league-worst 5.4 yards per carry. The Commanders found themselves in the red zone on six of their seven drives in the two teams’ first meeting, and I like Washington to convert at least a few of those into touchdowns this time around. Robinson will account for at least one of those TDs.

  • Pick: Brian Robinson Jr Anytime TD (+115 at FanDuel)

D’Andre Swift

After he cashed for me last week, I’m coming back to D’Andre Swift. He has actually now scored a TD in four straight games, and his usage has been very high during that stretch. Swift has seen at least 21 touches in three of the last four, with the outlier coming last week, which was largely the result of Swift not being involved in the passing game at all – he saw zero targets for the first time this season.

The Bears will take on the Cardinals this Sunday, and should not have any problems running the football. Arizona allows 4.6 yards per carry and have surrendered ten rushing touchdowns this season. While Caleb Williams’ rookie season continues to be a bit of a rollercoaster, Swift provides this offense with some stability.

I also suspect Chicago’s defense will ensure they don’t find themselves playing with a negative game script, ensuring Swift continues to see his 20ish touches again in Week 9.

  • Pick: D’Andre Swift Anytime TD (+105 at DraftKings)

David Montgomery

There are few players more likely to score a touchdown each week than David Montgomery. I believe the only reason his odds aren’t shorter than -150 most weeks is because he shares the backfield with Jahmyr Gibbs. But, as Detroit has shown all season, there is more than enough to go around for both of them.

Montgomery has scored a touchdown in six of seven games this season, and has totaled seven TDs on the season. He would likely have more if the Lions were forced to play competitive games more often. I think Green Bay will give them that this week, though.

At the time of writing this, it sounds like Jordan Love has a realistic shot of playing Sunday, but even if he doesn’t, Malik Willis has been more than serviceable when thrust into action. The Packers defense is only allowing 4.3 yards per carry, and have only surrendered seven touchdowns on the ground. But I throw those stats out the window when the Lions are coming to town. No team can match Detroit’s physicality and Montgomery is their hammer in the backfield.

I like him to add another touchdown this week in a big divisional matchup.

  • Pick: David Montgomery Anytime TD (-125 at bet365)

Puka Nacua

It is quite clear that the LA Rams and Matthew Stafford want to get the football in Puka Nacua’s hands as often as possible. Nacua saw four targets in just a little over a quarter of play prior to getting injured in Week 1, and in his first game back, he saw nine targets while playing just over half of their offensive snaps.

Entering the Rams’ Week 9 matchup with the Seahawks, Nacua should have no limitations or snap count. I believe the result is going to be double-digit targets with his first touchdown of the season. We saw Nacua score a TD in three of his last four games (including playoffs) last year, and scored in one of his two games against Seattle last season.

There is no doubt Kyren Williams is who the Rams lean on in the red zone and goal line situations, but Nacua is plenty explosive to break one from outside the red zone. Seattle’s defense ranks 19th in points allowed and are very average against the pass.

  • Pick: Puka Nacua Anytime TD (+160 at bet365)

Justin Jefferson

Justin Jefferson has scored a touchdown in five of seven games this season, but has been held out of the endzone in two of his last three. He has been just as involved in the offense recently, though, seeing at least eight targets in that three-game stretch.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Minnesota lost one 0f the two games where Jefferson did not log a touchdown, and recorded a narrow win in the other game with no Jefferson TD.

I like the Vikings to continue to prioritize getting Jefferson the ball this Sunday when they take on the Colts. Indianapolis has given up the ninth-most net yards per pass attempt, and they haven’t even played many great passing offenses. The Colts have seen Malik Willis (in his first start), Caleb Williams (in his third game), Justin Fields, Will Levis, and a mix of Tyler Huntley and Tim Boyle. They have seen CJ Stroud twice, but always seem to play him pretty tight. The only other QB they have seen was Trevor Lawrence, and the Jaguars scored 37 points while Lawrence threw for 371 yards.

I’m not here to say Sam Darnold is one of the league’s top QBs, but he’s better than most of the quarterbacks I just listed off. I like Darnold to have a good day against a not-so-great Colts secondary, with Jefferson being the guy who provides some of the big plays. I also expect Jefferson to benefit from a bit more space to work with TJ Hockenson expected back.

  • Pick: Justin Jefferson Anytime TD (-108 at Caesars)

Kareem Hunt

Kareem Hunt has scored a touchdown in three of his four games with the Chiefs this season. The only game he did not score was his first game with the team, when he was sharing the backfield. Hunt has seen at least 21 carries and at least 22 touches in each of those three games as Kansas City’s starting RB.

I don’t foresee that usage changing at all this week, as the Chiefs take on the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football. Tampa Bay is allowing 5.2 yards per carry (30th) and have given up the fifth-most points in the NFL. Their defense has been especially bad over the last month, allowing at least 27 points in each game, and were carved up for 41 against the Ravens two weeks ago.

Kansas City is going to move the ball and find themselves in the red zone a handful of times. Hunt will continue to be the guy they lean on when they get there, and I love him to add another TD in Week 9.

One sportsbook has Hunt listed as short as -250 to score a touchdown in this game. I’m not suggesting they should be the source of truth on this, but bet365 is offering notably longer odds than all other sportsbooks. Don’t wait until Monday night to lock this one in, as I feel every book is going to drift towards -200 odds.

  • Pick: Kareem Hunt Anytime TD (-138 at bet365)

As we head into Week 9 of the NFL season, there are several standout players who are prime candidates to score a touchdown at any time during their upcoming games. Making bets on anytime touchdown scorers can be a fun and potentially lucrative way to add some excitement to your football viewing experience. Here are some predictions for NFL anytime touchdown scorer bets in Week 9:

1. Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints: Kamara has been a touchdown machine this season, finding the end zone in six out of seven games so far. He faces a favorable matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9, a team that has struggled to contain opposing running backs. Look for Kamara to continue his scoring streak in this game.

2. Davante Adams, Green Bay Packers: Adams is one of the top wide receivers in the league and has a strong connection with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He has scored in four out of five games this season and faces a tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9. However, Adams has shown that he can score against any defense and should be considered a strong bet to find the end zone.

3. Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans: Henry is a bruising running back who has the ability to score from anywhere on the field. He has scored in five out of seven games this season and faces a favorable matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 9. The Rams have struggled to stop the run this season, making Henry a strong candidate to score a touchdown in this game.

4. Tyreek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs: Hill is one of the fastest and most explosive wide receivers in the league. He has scored in three out of four games this season and faces a tough matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. However, Hill has the ability to break off big plays and score touchdowns in a variety of ways, making him a strong bet to find the end zone.

5. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs: Kelce is one of the top tight ends in the league and has a strong connection with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He has scored in four out of seven games this season and faces a tough matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. However, Kelce is a red zone threat and should be considered a strong bet to score a touchdown in this game.

When making anytime touchdown scorer bets, it’s important to consider factors such as matchups, player performance, and team tendencies. By doing your research and making informed decisions, you can increase your chances of winning bets on NFL anytime touchdown scorers in Week 9. Good luck!
