🚀 Best Commanders vs. Chiefs anytime touchdown scorer bets

Here are my favorite Commanders vs. Chiefs touchdown scorer picks based on the best NFL odds for Monday Night Football:

Xavier Worthy, WR, Chiefs (+160) ⭐⭐⭐

Xavier Worthy turned in just 35 yards while catching three of four targets during last week's 31-0 win for the Chiefs. Wide receiver Rashee Rice was the star against the Las Vegas Raiders, and Gary Pearson expects him to play a significant role again tonight with his Commanders vs. Chiefs prediction. But Worthy still led the team's position group while being on the field for 59% of the snaps in the rout.

Now another potential blowout is coming, with the Chiefs up to being 11.5-point favorites in the Monday Night Football odds. The Over/Under of 48.5 gives the Chiefs an implied team total of 29 points. I'll count on Worthy's usage and big-play ability against a Commanders defense that's allowed receivers to score seven touchdowns through seven weeks while averaging 8.90 yards per target.

Terry McLaurin, WR, Commanders (+300) ⭐⭐⭐

Terry McLaurin returns to the lineup for the first time since Sept. 21, the day of a 41-24 Commanders win over the Raiders in Week 3. While he didn't score a touchdown through three games, he was averaging 14.9 yards per reception and had caught 10 of 17 targets.

McLaurin will be working with backup QB Marcus Mariota tonight, with an injury forcing Jayden Daniels to sit out again. The veteran has logged three touchdown passes through two starts while completing 60.3% of his pass attempts and averaging 7.3 yards per attempt across parts of three games.

The Chiefs boast one of the NFL's better pass defenses, but the lopsided spread and likely game script should force Mariota to the air for almost the entire evening. The +300 odds from FanDuel on this anytime touchdown scorer prediction would return an extra $3 in profit on a winning $10 bet compared to the +270 odds from Caesars.

FanDuel is also posting the best odds of +550 for McLaurin to score a second-half touchdown, when this game could potentially get very ugly.

Noah Gray, TE, Chiefs (+400) ⭐⭐⭐

It's a little strange to see Gray without a touchdown this season after he scored a career-high five last year. He's played between 56% and 75% of the team's offensive snaps in every game since Week 1, so the opportunity has certainly been there.

He caught his lone target for a 28-yard gain during last week's win over the Raiders. A similar game script against the Commanders could result in Gray playing an expanded role, with Travis Kelce receiving more rest in the second half. That's a prediction that Philip Wood backs in his Commanders vs. Chiefs player props.

He caught his lone red-zone target of the campaign to date, and the Chiefs should be making several trips to the goal line tonight.
