Colts vs. Broncos Anytime TD Scorer Picks for Thursday Night Football
Everyone loves touchdowns and hitting on an anytime touchdown scorer is a great feeling – so let’s hit that feeling three times.
The Colts and Broncos have been two of the lower scoring teams in the league, but they still have capable players that get find paydirt this week.
Here are my three favorite bets for anytime touchdown scorers in this game.
Best Anytime TD Scorers for Colts vs. Broncos
- Jerry Jeudy (+210)
- Nyheim Hines (+190)
- Michael Pittman Jr. (+170)
Jerry Jeudy (+210)
Jeudy has scored two touchdowns this season and is coming off a game in which he scored one. The Broncos’ passing offense looked like it was starting to round into form on Sunday, and now it gets a chance to continue that momentum at home.
With Javonte Williams out, expect the Broncos to be a little more pass heavy – especially with Melvin Gordon in the backfield. If that’s the case, Jeudy should see a couple more targets and more chances to score.
Nyheim Hines +190
With Jonathan Taylor out, the running back duties go towards Nyheim Hines. He hasn’t scored a touchdown since Week 9 of last season when the Colts played the Jets. However, he’s about to receive the most carries he’s had in nearly two years. If Matt Ryan is still struggling to reach his old form, Hines will be a good help for him.
On top of that, Hines is a natural pass catcher, so he can be on the field for all three downs. A large percentage of the snaps will go to Hines and he can capitalize on that.
Michael Pittman Jr. +170
In an earlier article, I backed Pittman to exceed his receiving yards prop. I’ll continue with the same logic and back him to score a touchdown. He hasn’t scored in his last two games, despite being the first receiver in Matt Ryan’s progression. He’s a big receiver that’s a red zone threat and should see several targets around the rest of the field.
