College Football Week 0 Anytime TD Scorer Picks & Bets

Mercifully, the long wait for football season is over. College football is upon us, as Week 0 kicks off on Saturday – headlined by the Dublin, Ireland game between North Carolina and TCU. Among the other teams in action are USC, N.C. State, Virginia and Florida State. 

Here are my best anytime touchdown scorer bets for Saturday’s slate. Also check out our college football futures and our Week 0 best bets. 

College Football Week 0 touchdown scorer bet: Jordan Shipp, WR, North Carolina (+200)

Shipp had 60 catches for 671 yards and six touchdowns in 2025 despite playing in a disappointing North Carolina offense. He should take the next step in his progression with Bobby Petrino calling plays for the Tar Heels this season. UNC and TCU also squared off in their opening game last year, when Shipp delivered 84 receiving yards. He did not find the endzone, but he has great value to do so this time around – especially at +200 odds. TCU’s secondary will probably be worse than it was last season, so this is a nice opportunity for Shipp and company.

College Football Week 0 touchdown scorer bet: Victor Snow, WR, N.C. State (+250)

This should be another fun one between N.C. State and Virginia. In fact, it could be the best game on the entire Week 0 schedule in terms of both competitiveness and quality. They faced each other on September 6 last year, when the Wolfpack survived a 35-31 shootout. If a similar number of points are scored this weekend, expect Snow to be one of the beneficiaries. He scored 14 touchdowns in his final two seasons at Buffalo before transferring to N.C. State. That includes eight TDs to go along with 815 yards on 62 receptions last season. In what is entirely new pass-catching corps for the ‘Pack, don’t be surprised if Snow becomes the go-to guy.

College Football Week 0 touchdown scorer bet: Cam Barfield, RB, Hawaii (+225) 

Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing 

There is no denying that Hawaii is a pass-first offense, but the RB1 on any team that is expected to put up any decent number of points has good value to find the endzone at +225. Barfield did not score against Stanford in 2025, but he produced four touchdowns in his team’s final eight games. As such, he heads into the 2026 campaign with some momentum. Stanford’s defense was not any good last season and there is no reason to think it will suddenly be an unstoppable force this year.
