Anytime Touchdown Scorer Predictions for Thursday Night Football: Falcons vs. Buccaneers TD Picks

NFL Week 15 begins with an NFC South rivalry clash, though the second meeting between the Atlanta Falcons (4-9) and division-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-6)  will lack some of the muster it was expected to have. My anytime touchdown scorer predictions for Thursday Night Football stick mostly to the 4.5-point home favorite, who won the first meeting this season 23-20 in Atlanta.

The Over/Under is set at 44.5 points, suggesting about six touchdown scorers tonight. Let's find three of them as we add to our NFL predictions for Week 15.

Bucky Irving, RB, Buccaneers (+120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm not looking to get cute with this first anytime touchdown scorer prediction for TNF. Bucky Irving has scored in three straight games dating back to late September, with two of those coming through the air. He also scored a receiving touchdown against the Falcons in Week 1 while totaling a modest 45 yards from scrimmage on 18 touches. That's his season-low yardage total.

Irving leads the Bucs' backfield with three receiving touchdowns through six games, and he leads the team's running backs in receptions per game (23 through six games played). The Falcons have given up (I could end the sentence here) 12 total touchdowns to running backs, with four of those coming through the air.

Irving's the better option of Rachaad White and Sean Tucker to exploit that mismatch. A $10 bet pays a $13 profit if he does. Our Dustin Saracini is also backing Irving to score with his Falcons vs. Buccaneers player props.

Kyle Pitts, TE, Falcons (+230) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kyle Pitts remains with just one touchdown through 13 games, but he has been much more involved - and productive - since Kirk Cousins replaced the injured Michael Penix Jr. at quarterback. After a poor outing against the New Orleans Saints in Cousins' first start of the season, Pitts caught 13 of 18 targets for 172 yards over the past two games.

Both of those games were Falcons losses, and that's what our best NFL betting sites expect to happen tonight. A negative game script for Atlanta, coupled with wide receiver Drake London's lingering injury, should keep Pitts involved against a Buccaneers defense that's allowed six touchdowns to tight ends through 13 games.

Pitts caught seven of eight targets from Penix for 59 yards against the Bucs in Week 1. Our Gary Pearson is backing Pitts' Over 58.5 yards with his best Falcons vs. Buccaneers prediction.

Baker Mayfield, QB, Buccaneers (+600) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

We conclude with my long-shot anytime touchdown scorer prediction, as we hope for Baker Mayfield's second rushing touchdown of the season.

A top NFL MVP odds contender mid-way through the season, Mayfield's passing production has taken a nosedive over the past four games. The Bucs are just 1-3 in those games and 1-4 across their last five.

Mayfield's been taking it upon himself to try to turn that around, as he's rushed a combined 21 times over the past four games after going three straight games without a rushing attempt.
