17 week in NFL promises to be an incredible week. Tampa Bay Buccaneers will try to get even against Miami Dolphins, New York Giants And Las Vegas Raiders will battle for first place in the overall standingsAnd San Francisco 49ers looking to win their sixth game in a row against a feisty Chicago Bears team.
Who's scoring today? This is what everyone wants to know. Whether you're creating a bet in a group chat or looking for a lesser-known name that has some value, TD bets are one of the most popular bets in the sports gambling world anytime. Below, we'll break down five anytime TD bets to consider heading into Week 17. These will not be predictable options such as Derrick Henry or Jonathan Taylor they score, but it won’t be wild long-range shots like in team defense. Let's start with the offense, which got into a rhythm last week.

Arizona Cardinals have lost seven games in a row and rank dead last in scoring defense since Week 6 at 31.8 points per game. More importantly, the Cards rank 10th in the bottom ten in passing defense with 224.1 yards allowed per contest. The Bengals posted a dominant 45-21 win over the Miami Dolphins. Joe Burrow threw for 309 yards and four touchdowns. While Ja'Marr Chase led Cincy with 109 yards receiving, he failed to find the end zone. This week he will do it.

2. VR Mike EvansTampa Bay Buccaneers (+140)
Mike Evans has caught 11 passes for 163 yards and a touchdown in his two games since returning from injury. The Beeches need a win over the lowly Dolphins to ensure they stay alive in the NFC South race, and I predict that Baker Mayfield is losing his temper after Tampa Bay has lost six of its last seven games. Evans finds the end zone.
The reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year has not only scored touchdowns in three straight games, but has rushed for 122 yards in two of his last three contests. This week, Barkley will face one of the worst defenses in the NFL. Buffalo Bills. They ranked third in the league this week, allowing 144.3 yards per game. Buffalo is also allowing 5.4 yards per rush, which ranks second-highest, and has allowed the most 30-yard rushing touchdowns in a season in NFL history with eight. This is a good match for Barkley and Jalen Hurts.
The Titans are playing well today. They have at least 24 points in their last three games, including a surprise shootout win over Cleveland Browns and a 26-9 loss Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday. Tony Pollard has been impressive, reaching 100 yards in each of his last three games. Three games ago, he had a career-high 161 yards and two touchdowns against Cleveland. Pollard didn't find the end zone last week, but I'm betting he will on Sunday vs. New Orleans Saints.
If you bet on JSN to score a touchdown every week, you will win eight times and lose only seven. It's a pretty incredible run. Smith-Njigba leads the NFL in receiving yards (1,647) and has reached 90 receiving yards in 10 of his last 11 games. There will be a rematch on Sunday Sam Darnoldwho would probably like to crush his former team in Carolina Panthers. JSN will once again be a big part of the game plan.
