Rams vs. Vikings Anytime TD Picks for Wild Card Round

The Wild Card matchup between the Rams and Vikings is packed with intrigue, especially in the anytime touchdown market. Rams star receiver Cooper Kupp looks primed for a breakout game in the slot against Minnesota’s vulnerable defense, while Vikings tight end Josh Oliver offers a longshot value pick at +1200 odds. With playoff stakes high and both teams featuring dynamic offenses, the touchdown prop market provides lucrative opportunities for bettors. Let’s dive into why these two players stand out as prime candidates to find the end zone.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp Anytime TD (+175, BetMGM)

I think the Rams offense could be in store for a very good day against a Vikings defense that ranked 28th against the pass this season. They have been ripped to shreds by opposing wideouts, and especially have been killed in the slot. I trust Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay in this matchup to get the job done, and while I think Puka Nacua could be in store for a massive game in terms of total yardage, I’ll take his counterpart Cooper Kupp to get a touchdown in this one. He offers a bit more value here than Nacua does because of his recent performances, and he plays in the slot where he can do some serious damage.

While Kupp is an oft-injured receiver that just can’t seem to stay healthy for an entire season, we all know how good he is when he’s 100%. I am not sure he is at that level right now, but against Minnesota, he might not have to be. There is going to be a lot of attention on Nacua in the red zone, obviously, which could leave Kupp with openings. The Vikings play a ton of zone coverage because they know they don’t have the talent to play man-to-man against any receivers with a pulse, and Kupp in the slot against them could be deadly.

In addition, he is the guy here that has a ton of playoff experience, and was a postseason legend in 2021 for that Super Bowl Rams team. The moment is never going to be too big for him, and his experience in this spot could also give him a real advantage under the bright lights.
