Week 8 is declared “Bye Week”. 6 teams are on a bye, the most of any week during the season. Nonetheless, we’ve found picks on two rookies and a veteran running back. Let’s dive into our NFL Week 8 anytime TD scorer best bets, while you can also find out our experts’ NFL picks for EVERY game in Week 8.
Bears vs Ravens anytime TD scorer pick: Colston Loveland (+300)
Line available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing
Colston Loveland will look to find the endzone for the first time in his career. It hasn’t been the start the Bears envisioned for Loveland, especially when fellow 1st round rookie Tyler Warren is having an All-Pro year. But Sunday versus the Ravens is the perfect opportunity for Loveland and anytime TD bettors to cash in. Starting tight end Cole Kmet has yet to practice this week, and his status for Sunday is in doubt. When Kmet exited with an injury last week, Loveland ran 17 routes – Expect even more this Sunday versus the Ravens as touchdown underdogs on the road.

49ers vs Texans anytime TD scorer pick: Jaylin Noel (+320)
Line available at Caesars Sportsbook at time of publishing
Let’s stick with the rookie train in Week 8. The Texans WR room is depleted. Stud Nico Collins sustained a concussion in the 4th quarter in their Monday loss to the Seahawks, while Christian Kirk hasn’t suited up since Week 5. Plug in rookie Jaylin Noel, who ran 33 routes last week, including a target in the redzone. The Texans offensive line has done C.J. Stroud zero favors, but if he gets time in the pocket on Sunday versus a 49ers pass-rush missing Nick Bosa and Bryce Huff, Noel is in a nice spot to find the endzone at +320 odds.

Cowboys vs Broncos anytime TD scorer pick: J.K. Dobbins (-11o)
Line available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing
Targeting Cowboys-Broncos in our anytime TD scorer piece was a given. The total is up to 51.5 points – the most of any game on the Sunday slate. The Broncos offense was shutout through 3 quarters versus the Giants last week. They then erupted for 33 points in one of the most prolific comebacks in NFL history. Fast forward to Sunday versus the Cowboys, J.K. Dobbins will be featured heavily. His rushing attempt line is up to 15.5, while his rushing yards prop upwards of 74.5. With teammate R.J. Harvey still finding his footing in the league, look for Dobbins to eat up, if not all, of Denver’s usage in the backfield.
