There's no better - or quicker - way to celebrate NFL Sunday than by making a handful of anytime touchdown scorer predictions.

Lofty odds mean wagers can be made at a reduced size. Spread out the wealth across several players you want to watch the most. Winners are paid out almost as soon as a player crosses the goal line - there's no need to sweat out your NFL best bets all game long.

These markets have been up at our best NFL betting sites for several weeks. As such, savvy bettors have been given ample time to attack outlier prices for their NFL predictions for Week 1.

Brown, a second-year back who totaled just 335 yards from scrimmage and a single touchdown on 58 touches a year ago, is technically second on the Bengals' backfield depth chart.

There should be enough work for both he and Zack Moss in a very winnable game against the New England Patriots in which Cincinnati is an 8.5-point favorite. And our Andrew Brennen likes Brown to be highly involved - and productive - with his Patriots vs. Bengals player props.

Brown's market-best +275 odds would fetch a $27.50 profit on a winning $10 bet. That's an extra $6 in profit vs. the same bet placed with DraftKings.

The Bengals will be working No. 1 receiver Ja'Marr Chase up to speed and Tee Higgins missed Friday's practice. With the Bengals expected to control the game script and run out the clock for much of the second half, I like both running backs to find the end zone, and the odds are much for enticing for Brown.

The Over/Under for the Sunday Night Football contest between the Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions is the highest betting line of the week at 52.5. We're expecting touchdowns, and for that wealth to be spread around by QBs Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford.

Williams racked up 383 yards from scrimmage and three total touchdowns in his first full NFL season last year after being selected with the 12th overall pick of the 2022 draft. His snap counts rose as the season progressed, and he added a touchdown in the NFC Championship Game.

We're getting excellent value via these +250 odds from FanDuel. A winning $10 bet there would fetch a profit of $25 vs. a more modest $20 return on the market-low +200 odds found elsewhere.
