Best Anytime TD Picks for Week 9 Monday Night Football: Buccaneers at Chiefs

Week 9’s Monday Night Football matchup between the Buccaneers and Chiefs offers intriguing anytime touchdown opportunities. With the Chiefs heavily favored and Tampa Bay’s top receivers sidelined, Kansas City’s Kareem Hunt and Tampa’s Cade Otton are prime candidates to reach the end zone. Here’s why both make excellent TD bets in this high-stakes game.

Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt To Score A Touchdown (-185, FanDuel)

Over the last two weeks, Hunt has seen 15 red zone opportunities and has scored a touchdown in three consecutive starts (four total in that span). For context, no other KC running back has gotten a single red zone opportunity over the last couple weeks and the rest of the skill position players have combined for 11. Therefore, when inside the 20, the ball will more than likely be in Hunt’s hands. With notable skills as a pass-catcher as well, there are a variety of ways and formations in which he can be utilized around the goal line, so I think this is the best touchdown bet on a team that should have game script working in their favor as well as 9.5-point favorites. With 28, 24, and 22 touches over the last three weeks, there’s no sign that his workload is going to decrease and I expect him to find pay dirt once again, especially since the Buccaneers have uncharacteristically struggled against the run this year.

Buccaneers TE Cade Otton To Score A Touchdown (+240, FanDuel)

Betting player props against the Chiefs is fun. Kansas City’s defense is the best in the entire NFL in limiting wide receivers and running backs (in terms of yardage), but gives up chunk plays in the middle of the field, which is why they struggle badly against slot receivers and tight ends. Coming off a two-touchdown performance last week, Otton clearly has Baker Mayfield’s attention as his primary pass-catcher and will face a Chiefs D that has allowed the most receptions, targets and receiving yards to the TE position. I don’t trust any of Tampa Bay’s receivers with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin out and I am also hesitant to back any running back against this defense. That leaves Otton as my clear target.
