We didn’t get to see the scheduled Buffalo Bills vs Cincinnati Bengals showdown in the penultimate week of the regular season because of the incredibly scary Damar Hamlin situation. The best news, of course, is that Hamlin is doing well. Additional good news is that we do, in fact, get to see Bills vs Bengals. It’s going to happen this weekend in the Divisional Round of the AFC playoffs and promises to be an engaging encounter between a pair of teams with very real Super Bowl aspirations.
It’s time to take a look at the best touchdown scorer bets to be made for Cincinnati vs Buffalo.

Best Cincinnati Bengals touchdown scorer bet: Ja’Marr Chase, WR (+130)
At well into plus-money, I can’t pass up an opportunity to back Chase for a touchdown. He is quite simply a TD machine. The former LSU standout scored 9 touchdowns in 12 games during the regular season (7 in the last 7) and also found the end zone during last week’s victory over Baltimore, finishing with 9 catches on 12 targets for 84 yards. Now he faces a Buffalo defense that did not exactly put the clamps down on 3rd-string QB Skylar Thompson and Miami in its playoff opener. In the biggest game of the season, Joe Burrow isn’t suddenly going to shy away from his favorite target in the red zone.

Best Buffalo Bills touchdown scorer bet: Gabe Davis, WR (+150)
I have kind of been on the Gabe Davis bandwagon since his 4-touchdown, 201-yard outburst against the Chiefs in last year’s heartbreaking Divisional Round loss. As that explosion indicates, playoff time is Davis time. He also caught a touchdown pass in the Wild Card win over New England last season and this past weekend during a 34-31 defeat of the Miami Dolphins he finished with 6 receptions on 9 targets for 113 yards and a score. It should also be noted that Davis found the end zone 7 times during the regular season. Including the recent playoff game, the 23-year-old out of UCF has scored a TD in 7 of the last 13 contests.
Anytime Touchdown Scorer FAQs
What does “anytime touchdown scorer” mean?
Anytime touchdown scorer is a popular player prop bet that NFL bettors can wager on throughout the season. But what is it, and how do you win?
As the name suggests, placing a wager on the anytime touchdown scorer market is when you tip a particular player to score a touchdown during a game. This can be a rushing or receiving touchdown for an offensive player, or you can wager on a team’s defense/special teams to score a touchdown by interception return and fumble return or kickoff and punt returns.
If your player or defense scores a touchdown, you win! The odds will differ from player-to-player depending on the sportsbooks’ calculated probability of that player scoring.
Does anytime touchdown scorer include passing touchdowns?
Not for a quarterback, no. A player must get into the endzone, himself, in order to qualify as an anytime touchdown scorer. If a quarterback throws a touchdown pass, only the player who caught it counts as the scorer. If Joe Burrow throws a touchdown pass to Ja’Marr Chase, wagers placed on Chase as an anytime touchdown scorer will cash. However, those placed on Burrow as an anytime touchdown scorer will not (unless he also runs for a TD). See below for more on what the anytime touchdown scorer market means for quarterbacks.
What does anytime touchdown scorer mean for a QB?
For a wager on a QB to be an anytime touchdown scorer to cash, he must follow the same rules as a running back, tight end, or receiver. He must get into the endzone himself, either as a runner or a pass-catcher.
In the age of the mobile quarterback, QBs such as Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen and Kyler Murray are often seen rushing in for a touchdown on any given Sunday. And don’t forget the occasional Philly Special, either. QBs can sometimes catch passes for TDs, too.
