2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend Anytime Touchdown Scorer Player Prop Bet Picks (Sunday)
The NFL Playoffs kick off this weekend including three matchups on Sunday. The first contest is between AFC East division rivals as the Miami Dolphins face the Buffalo Bills. Both regular season matchups were determined by three or fewer points, with each team winning at home. However, Tua Tagovailoa played in both matchups. On Sunday, the rookie Skylar Thompson will start for the Dolphins.
In the second game on Sunday, the New York Giants face the Minnesota Vikings. These two teams met in Week 16 in Minnesota, with the home team winning 27-24. The game was a close competitive battle, with the Vikings pulling out the victory on a game-winning 61-yard field goal as time expired.
To end the day, the Baltimore Ravens take on the Cincinnati Bengals in an AFC North divisional matchup. These two teams faced off last week, with the Bengals winning 27-16 as the Ravens started Anthony Brown Jr. at quarterback and sat key offensive players Mark Andrews and J.K. Dobbins. However, in the Week 5 matchup, the Ravens won 19-17, as Lamar Jackson led the team with 58 rushing yards. Unfortunately, Tyler Huntley appears on track to start this week, with Jackson still dealing with a knee injury.

Anytime Touchdown Scorer Player Prop Bet Predictions (Sunday)
Millions of dollars will get bet on these games. However, which touchdown prop bets should you bet? Let’s take a look.
Miami Dolphins vs. Buffalo Bills
Anytime TD Scorer: James Cook (+205)
The rookie running back has earned more of a role with the team lately, playing a career-high 56% of the offensive snaps last week. More importantly, Cook has scored a touchdown in two of the past three games, including the Week 15 matchup against Miami. In that game, Cook and Nyheim Hines had a receiving touchdown. Meanwhile, the Dolphins surrendered six receiving touchdowns to running backs this season, the most in the NFL. Hines at +650 to score is also a solid bet. He had two kickoff returns for a touchdown last week and could get in the end zone on offense as he did in Week 15.
New York Giants vs. Minnesota Vikings
Anytime TD Scorer: T.J. Hockenson (+215)
Before he got traded to the Vikings, Hockenson had three receiving touchdowns this season. However, he had three touchdowns in 10 games with Minnesota. More importantly, two of them came in the Week 16 matchup against the Giants, including the first touchdown of the game for the team. The veteran tight end had 13 receptions on 16 targets in that contest. Hockenson had eight or more targets in four straight matchups before last week’s game, where he rested most of the second half. Meanwhile, the Giants gave up six receiving touchdowns to tight ends this season, with a third of them coming over the past three weeks.
Baltimore Ravens vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Anytime TD Scorer: Ja’Marr Chase (-105)
Despite missing four games this year with a hip injury, the second-year receiver led the team with nine receiving touchdowns. Chase is one of the most explosive wide receivers in the NFL, scoring at least one touchdown in 58.3% of the games this year. Furthermore, he has at least one touchdown in five of his past seven games, scoring two touchdowns in two of those matchups. Moreover, the superstar receiver has 22 receiving touchdowns in 29 career regular season games. Meanwhile, Chase has two touchdowns in four career matchups against the Ravens, including a 26-yard score last week.
