The Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs kicks off this weekend and plenty of star power will be on display right away. That’s mainly because the Kansas City Chiefs are in action; they are once again led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce. But don’t sleep on the upstart Jacksonville Jaguars; Trevor Lawrence has them on a roll, as they stole the AFC South crown from the Tennessee Titans and then staged a legendary comeback from 27-0 behind to beat the Los Angeles Chargers 31-30 in the Wild Card Round.
It’s time to take a look at the best touchdown scorer bets to be made for Jacksonville vs Kansas City.

Best Jacksonville Jaguars touchdown scorer bet: Christian Kirk, WR (+195)
Kirk came up with 8 touchdowns during the regular season and he also found the endzone during Jacksonville’s comeback against the Chargers. Guess who gave up 2 of Kirk’s scores in Week 10, too? That would be none other than the Chiefs, as the Jaguars’ top receiver also torched them to the tune of 9 receptions on 12 targets for 105 yards. Keep in mind that Jacksonville scored only 17 total points in that contest – and Kirk still went off! The Jags’ have posted at least 31 points in 4 of their last 6 games, so their offense is now a well-oiled machine. They can pin a decent number on the Chiefs and I fully expect Kirk to be part of the party.

Best Kansas City Chiefs touchdown scorer bet: Travis Kelce, TE (-145)
This may not be the sexiest pick, but even at -145 odds Kelce still has solid value. The star tight end racked up 12 touchdowns in the regular season, including 1 against the Jaguars. Kelce scored in all 3 playoff games last season and dating back to 2018 he has 11 TD catches in Kansas City’s last 10 playoff games. Jacksonville allowed the 10th-most points to tight ends during the regular season, so count on Kelce’s success continuing.
Best longshot touchdown scorer bet: Patrick Mahomes, QB, KC (+360)
When the pressure ratchets up in the playoffs, Mahomes often takes matters into his own hands. He has scored at least 1 rushing touchdown in each of Kansas City’s 4 playoff runs with him under center. Mahomes has kept it himself into the endzone in 5 of his 11 career postseason contests. When you also consider the fact that all 4 of his rushing TDs this season have come in the last 10 games, it’s hard to fathom how you can get +360 odds. It’s definitely worth a shot.

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.
