One of my favorite things to bet on in the NFL is anytime touchdowns. I know not everyone loves touchdowns, some are completely chalk and other feels too hard to predict.
That being said, the anytime touchdown markets is one of the best places to find value in the NFL and while it can be incredibly frustrating, it can also be very rewarding.
Let's jump into my favorite anytime touchdown bets for Week 2!

Chris Godwin Anytime Touchdown (+230)
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers came out in Week 1 and looked terrible to start the game. Baker Mayfield completed 82% of his passes, threw for 216 yards but no touchdowns and turned the ball over 3 times via fumble; two of which came in the redzone.
Mayfield and this entire Buccaneers offense needs to be better and this week might be the perfect 'get right' spot against Mayfield's former team.
This will be Mayfield's second time playing the Browns and first time playing Deshaun Watson since the trade. This Buccaneers team scored 27 points last week and this week they play a Browns' defense that just allowed 34 points in Week 1.
This Browns' secondary was torched by Trevor Lawrence last week, giving up 4 touchdowns through the air; 3 of which came from the slot/in-line position. Both Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington got into the endzone last week and this week is should be Godwin.
Godwin played 50% of his snaps out of the slot in Week 1 and that's perfectly on brand for him and this Todd Bowles offense. Emeka Egbuka's slid to the outside (Mike Evans spot) and Godwin's remained in the slot.
He had just 4 targets in Week 1, catching all 4 for 40 yards. This week he faces a secondary that allowed a passer rating of 120+ when targeted last week and with a QB that's got revenge on his mind.
I'm in on Chris this week.
Matthew Golden Anytime Touchdown (+245)
Matthew Golden's breakout season is here. The team targeted him 12 times last week against Minnesota and a lot of that came because the heavy blitz by the Vikings, but that kind of target share can't be ignored.
Golden had 3 targets inside the 20 yard line and had 2 targets in the endzone; but he just couldn't get in for six. This week the Packers take on a New York Jets squad that's riding high off a Week 1 win against the Titans.
The Jets' secondary was barely tested last week and now they play a very potent Green Bay offense.
Jordan Love threw for 387 yards last week, despite facing pressure on nearly 70% of his dropbacks. New York had a 8.3% pressure win rate against the Titans' poor offensive line and while the Packers' line looked bad last week, I've got faith they are better than Tennessee.
Golden finished last week with 6 catches, 95 yards and no touchdowns. He finished the week top-3 in separation rate, top-5 in route win rate and in a poor weather game like today that means so much more.
Michael Mayer Anytime Touchdown (+240)
The Las Vegas Raiders will once again be without Brock Bowers this week as they face off against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers are coming off an ugly loss to the Arizona Cardinals, a loss in which they gave up 9 catches on 13 targets to Trey McBride.
McBride finished the day with 95 yards, 1 touchdown and the Cardinals won 26-14. This Chargers defense didn't look the same without Jesse Minter on the sidelines calling plays and I think that might be a common theme going forward.
Michael Mayer saw 7 targets in Week 1 against the Dolphins, catching 6 balls for 42 yards and no scores. The Raiders played most of that game with the lead and because of it didn't have to pass the ball late.
This week they come into the game as a 6.5-point underdog, on the road. Mike McDaniels and this Chargers offense is going to pop at some point and if it's this week, the Raiders will need to score points.
Mayer saw 1 target in the redzone last week and 1 target in the actual endzone; it also happened to be the only target he didn't reel in. This week he gets in for six.
