Saints vs Chiefs anytime touchdown scorer pick: Alvin Kamara (+105)

Line available at Bet365 Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Don’t let that +105 price for Alvin Kamara to score a touchdown turn you off — the rest of the market is settling in at -110. That stuff matters long term. Nonetheless, I’d still play this anytime touchdown prop at -110. The Saints will be without Swiss Army Knife Taysom Hill, who scored two touchdowns last week before he exited with a rib injury and has been known to vulture redzone touches from Kamara.

Kamara has been unbelievable to start the season and is a huge reason the Saints are averaging 31.8 points per game. As a team, they’re averaging 34.5 rushing attempts per game, with Kamara topping 20, 26, and 18 attempts over his last three games. That includes at least four redzone rushing attempts in all four games. Expect a fully utilized Kamara by new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak on Monday Night.

Saints vs Chiefs anytime touchdown scorer pick: Kareem Hunt (+140)

Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Rookie Carson Steele got the boot early last week after a fumble on the Chiefs’ first offensive drive. He received just one touch on the ground for the rest of the game. Head coach Andy Reid went to veteran of the Chiefs offensive system Kareem Hunt, who was signed to the active roster less than two weeks. Hunt didn’t miss a beat, as he ran the ball 14 times for 69 yards, including two redzone touches.

After not having Marquise Brown to start the season, to Isiah Pacheco being put on the IR and now Rashee Rice being sidelined for the foreseeable future, I’d expect Mahomes and Reid to trust Hunt down in the red zone with multiple elite weapons down.
