2024 NFL Week 18 player props, odds, TD bets: Expert’s anytime touchdown scorer parlay pays over 21-1
Written by CBS SPORTS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED on January 5, 2024
While Tyreek Hill leads the NFL in receiving yards and CeeDee Lamb tops in receptions, 10-year veteran Mike Evans is the league leader in TD receptions (13). Not only that, but Evans has rewarded NFL TD bettors who’ve utilized him in NFL anytime touchdown bets 11 times this season. Only Christian McCaffrey (13 games), Josh Allen (12) and Raheem Mostert (12) have scored in more games this year than Evans, who leads all wideouts in that regard. One of those scores came in Week 13 versus Carolina and their second matchup on Sunday has Evans a tempting option for Week 18 NFL touchdown props.
Evans has torched the Panthers with eight TDs over his last six meetings. Tampa has a win-and-in scenario in this game, so Evans logging a full complement of snaps only adds appeal in using him in Week 18 NFL anytime TD picks. What other players have favorable NFL matchups to find the endzone for Sunday? Before making any NFL touchdown prop bets, you need to see the Week 18 NFL prop predictions from SportsLine expert Griffin Carroll.
When betting touchdown parlays in the NFL, it can be best to wager at a lower unit size and consider betting all parlay legs straight as well. The TD market is both electrifying and frustrating, but few things are as satisfying as seeing your player hit pay-dirt, making it one of Carroll’s favorite weekly traditions.
Carroll dives into the touchdown market, along with other plus-money NFL props, on a weekly basis, targeting volume players and the most vulnerable defenses in the league. He tends to focus on total touchdowns allowed to each position, defenses allowing the most explosive plays and every player’s usage stats from snaps to red zone work to find his favorite bets of the weekend. The approach has paid out in a big way before in the parlay market with a nearly 400-1 hit earlier this season.
In Week 14, Carroll won a three-leg touchdown parlay as D.J. Moore, Deebo Samuel and Alvin Kamara all scored to hit a 9-1 NFL TD parlay.
For Week 18 NFL prop predictions, Carroll has evaluated the anytime touchdown scorer odds and locked in his NFL TD prop picks. You can only see Carroll’s Week 18 prop predictions here.
Top anytime touchdown scorer prop picks for Week 18
After analyzing the Week 18 NFL touchdown odds, Carroll is backing Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown to score at +165 odds. Despite ranking in the top five of the NFL in the triple crown receiving categories of receptions (112), yards (1,371) and touchdowns (nine), St. Brown was snubbed for the Pro Bowl on Wednesday. He admitted afterwards that he was “hot” after getting passed over, and that should only provide more motivation for St. Brown in Week 18. That’s the last thing the opponent Vikings want to hear, considering the wideout already torched them earlier this year, finding the endzone as part of a 12-catch, 106-yard day.
Minnesota’s pass defense is unique in that its strong in defending opposing RBs out of the backfield as well as tight ends. The Vikings have allowed just one receiving TD to a running back all year and haven’t seen an opposing TE find the endzone since Week 9, but wideouts have feasted off their secondary. The last nine passing touchdowns Minnesota has allowed have been to wide receivers, including St. Brown two weeks ago. Also, Detroit still has a chance to nab the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoff bracket, so there’s an incentive to play its starters, and that has Carroll liking St. Brown’s touchdown chances on Sunday.
