The most important Sunday Night Football matchup of the season will be played tonight between the Chicago Bears (11-4) and San Francisco 49ers (11-4) as both teams still vie for the NFC's No. 1 seed. My anytime touchdown scorer predictions for Sunday Night Football offer up three plus-money TD picks - and an anytime touchdown scorer parlay - ahead of the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff (NBC) at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

The 49ers are the 3-point betting favorite at home, with an Over/Under as high as 52.5 tonight. We should see 6-8 touchdowns scored.

Luter Burden III, WR, Bears (+225) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rookie receiver Luther Burden III (ankle) will return tonight from a one-game injury absence. I'm counting on him to step right back into a role that had him targeted a season-high seven times (six catches for 84 yards) in his last game. He's seen 29 total targets across his last five games, making 20 catches.

Though Burden remains with just one touchdown for his rookie season, he should play a large role tonight with Rome Odunze (foot) ruled out again and the Bears carrying a team total of 24-25 points on the road.

Cole Kmet, TE, Bears (+370) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cole Kmet and Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland continue a tight battle for snaps, with Kmet leading the team's position group two weeks ago before playing four fewer snaps than the rookie last week. With how similar their playing time is, I don't believe there should be such a difference in their anytime touchdown scorer odds. Loveland is just +215 via DraftKings to score tonight.

Kmet has just two touchdowns on the season, but the 49ers have given up more touchdowns to tight ends (9) than all but four other teams.

Kyle Juszczyk, FB, 49ers (+850) ⭐⭐⭐

Kyle Juszcyk, 34, has just one touchdown through 15 games of his 13th NFL season. If he's held without a score over the final two weeks, it'll be his lowest full-season touchdown total since 2019. As such, I'm banking on head coach Kyle Shanahan to find ways to get the perennial Pro Bowler into the end zone on prime time, at home.

Juszczyk has caught 87.5% of his 24 targets this season. The Bears allow opposing running backs to catch 79.5% of their targets, and have allowed three receiving touchdowns to the position. These odds will likely shorten if or when tight end George Kittle (ankle, questionable) is ruled out.
