Sunday Night Football will feature a matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Buffalo Bills in upstate New York. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers have struggled as they’ve lost 3 in a row to the Giants, Jets and Commanders. They are double-digit underdogs, but instead of looking at the spread, I’ve taken a look at the best touchdown scorers for Sunday Night Football.
With kickoff set for 8:20 pm ET on NBC, it’s time to take a look at the best touchdown scorer bets to be made.

Green Bay Packers touchdown scorer best bet: Aaron Jones (+130)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing
The Bills’ defense has been as good as it gets. They’ve allowed the fewest yards and the fewest points in the league heading into Week 8. However, if the Packers are going to find the end zone on Sunday Night, it’s likely going to be through Aaron Jones. The running back has been one of Aaron Rodgers’ favorite targets recently, as he’s hauled in 12 receptions for 78 yards in the last two weeks. In Week 7 against the Commanders, Jones caught 9 passes and found the end zone twice, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jones targeted on several short passes again.
Jones will likely get roughly 10 carries, possibly more if Rodgers has trouble with the Buffalo secondary. Matt LaFleur will likely want to play it safe in the beginning, and short passes and handoffs to Jones fit right into that scheme.

Buffalo Bills touchdown scorer best bet: Devin Singletary (+120)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing
The Packers’ defense has been horrible against the run this season. In the last two weeks alone, they’ve allowed 377 rushing yards. The strength of the Green Bay defense is their secondary, as they’ve allowed the 4th-fewest passing completions and 2nd-fewest passing yards this season, and will have their hands full with limiting Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis. With that in mind, I’ll target Devin Singletary for Sunday night’s game.
Singletary is Buffalo’s primary running back, and he ran 17 times in Week 7, but he’s also a threat to catch passes. He has 18 receptions in the last four weeks, and Josh Allen targets Singletary frequently in the end zone. I’ll back Singletary to score in this week’s edition of Sunday Night Football.

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 Evans as an anytime touchdown scorer will cash. However, those placed on Rodgers 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 end zone 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.
