Best Anytime TD Scorer Picks for Bills vs. Rams on Thursday Night Football (Dawson Knox Sneaky Pick)
By Peter Dewey
The NFL is back on Thursday, and that means so is one of the best ways to bet on football…
Touchdown Props!
There should be plenty of points scored in the Buffalo Bills-Los Angeles Rams matchup on Thursday, as the total is set at 52 and we have two of the best offenses in the NFL squaring off.
Will Cooper Kupp pick up where he left off in 2021? Who’s the best bet to score on Buffalo?
Don’t worry, I’ve got three touchdown props to consider for the opening game of the 2022 NFL season, using the odds at FanDuel:
Best Anytime Touchdown Scorer Bets for Bills vs. Rams
- Dawson Knox (+160)
- Gabriel Davis (+145)
- Allen Robinson II (+155)
Dawson Knox (+160)
Dawson Knox got PAID on Wednesday, and the Bills tight end is one of the better options in the red zone in the NFL.
Bills and TE Dawson Knox reached agreement on a four-year contract extension that ties to him Buffalo through 2026 season, per sources.

The deal is expected to place Knox in the top five highest-paid tight ends in the league. He will sign it after practice today.
Last season, Knox caught nine scores in 15 regular season games for Buffalo, and with Jalen Ramsey likely working on Stefon Diggs for a good chunk of Thursday’s season opener, Knox could be an under-the-radar target to score, because we know Josh Allen is at least throwing one score.
Gabriel Davis (+145)
The Gabriel Davis hype train won’t stop this offseason, and I think he’s a solid value to find the end zone in what should be a high-scoring game.
The total for this game sits at 52, and Davis, as the No. 3 receiver for Buffalo, caught 11 touchdowns in 18 games last season (including playoffs).
Davis now takes over as the No. 2 option with Emmanuel Sanders gone, and he’s already shown his big-play ability in the preseason.

This Buffalo offense can support multiple pass catchers, and if Jalen Ramsey shadows Stefon Diggs, it may be the Gabe Davis show in Week 1.
Allen Robinson II (+155)
Odell Beckham Jr. appeared in eight games for the Rams in the 2021 regular season, and he made five touchdown catches.
Now, OBJ’s role is being filled by Allen Robinson II, and I think ARob is a great bet to find the end zone in this high-powered offense.
Rather than bet on Kupp, who’s odds are at -160 (!) to score, we can get some value here on Robinson, especially if Van Jefferson (questionable) doesn’t suit up in this game.
I don’t see WR Van Jefferson on the practice field today. https://t.co/WhVnvHtCrE

Bet ARob to make a splash in his Rams debut.
