Super Bowl Player Props: Anytime Touchdowns
Summary
For Super Bowl 60, several player touchdown bets offer value. Rashid Shaheed (+350) is a threat on returns and deep passes. Kenneth Walker III (+425) is favored to score early as Seattle establishes its run game. Rhamondre Stevenson (+160) is due for a postseason touchdown, while A.J. Barner (+240) could exploit New England’s weakness against tight ends in the red zone. Quarterback Drake Maye (+700) is a dangerous rushing option near the goal line, especially if trailing.
A high-reward parlay combines Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Stefon Diggs, and Cooper Kupp to score at +2500. JSN is Seattle’s top target, Diggs brings veteran red-zone savvy for New England, and Kupp’s experience could see him find the end zone if coverage focuses elsewhere.
The most popular prop play for the Super Bowl is typically an anytime touchdown score. A fairly simple play, the player you select scores a touchdown, and you win your wager. There are also other markets available, such as betting a player to score in the first quarter or first half, and usually the odds are better.  We’ve put together a list of plays that include value and long shots for Super Bowl 60.Â
Rashid Shaheed – Anytime TD (+350)
Special teams can play a huge part in the Super Bowl, and the Seahawks have one of the best game changers in the NFL. Rashid Shaheed showed what he could do in the Divisional Round when he took the opening kickoff to the house. Not only will he get some opportunities as a receiver, but Shaheed will also be dangerous on returns. In his 11 games with the Seahawks, he’s scored five touchdowns. Three of them came from returns, two kickoff-return TDs, and one punt-return TD. And on offense, if Jaxon Smith-Njigba is double-teamed, Shaheed could be open for a deep shot by Sam Darnold, and if he gets behind coverage, he could go all the way.
Kenneth Walker III – First Quarter Anytime TD (+425)
Kenneth Walker is the heavy favorite for an anytime TD in Super Bowl 60, sitting at -190. He’s already scored four touchdowns in 2 playoff games and scored just 5 during the regular season. There’s no question that the run game is the Seahawks bread and butter, and they will try to establish the ground game early. Just like the NFC title game, expect Seattle to try and move the ball in its first possession ,and if they can get down the field, inside the 10-yard line, it’s more than likely the ball will be handed to KW3, and at +425 for a first quarter score, you have to love the value here.Â
Rhamandre Stevenson – Anytime Touchdown (+160)
Rhamandre Stevenson has been big for the Patriots during their playoff run. He’s taken over as the starting role at running back and has 194 yards in three postseason games. But he has yet to find the end zone. That could change against the Seahawks as he’ll be called upon often, especially if New England can get into the red zone. He was red hot in the final three games of the regular season, scoring 6 times, including four TDs on the ground. While both teams have been stout against rushing scores, ironically, the road to success for both teams may be the run game. Stevenson is due to finally get one, and it could also come via the passing game, as he averages at least two receptions a game.Â
A.J. Barner – Anytime Touchdown (+240)
AJ Barner hasn’t been all too busy in the playoffs, just two receptions for 13 yards, but this is a matchup that fares well for the tight end. The Patriots have struggled against this position in the red zone this season, allowing a 124.4 passer rating when the position is targeted. That is the third-worst in the NFL.  I can see Darnold trying to take advantage of this, and that opportunity can come in the red zone.  Barner also provides a second option to score as the Seahawks have used him to rush the ball, especially in a tush-push opportunity. That scenario is highly probable from the 1-yard line.
Drake Maye – Second Half Anytime Touchdown: (+700)
Drake Maye is a dangerous weapon down by the goal line. He has a big athletic frame and scored four touchdowns this season. He scored the Patriots’ only TD against the Broncos in the AFC title game. Here’s the thing with this play: Maye could run the ball himself inside the 5-yard line and play it safe rather than try to throw into a dangerous defensive unit. If New England trails and looks to take matters into its own hands, a second-half TD at this price can be quite profitable.
SB60 Anytime TD Parlay – Cupp/JSN/Diggs (+2500)
There’s nothing better than a tasty Super Bowl parlay for anytime touchdowns, and for fans who are hoping for a high-scoring game, this play could be profitable.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba Anytime TD
Stefon Diggs Anytime TD
Cooper Kupp Anytime TD
Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been the best receiver in the NFL this season and has 12 touchdowns, including two in the playoffs. While he may be covered tightly, he will get ample targets and receptions, and you’d expect him to find a way into the end zone. He’s had 13 games this season with at least 9 targets, so expect him to get looks throughout this game.
Stefon Diggs isn’t the same player he was in his prime. Still, he’s the Patriots’ best weapon in the passing game. He doesn’t lead in any of the receiving categories, but his veteran leadership could result in his name being called in the red zone at some point. While with Minnesota and Buffalo, Diggs dreamt of playing on this stage. Now that he’s here, expect him to try to make things happen.
While they will try their hardest to limit JSN, that could unlock Cooper Kupp to score.
He still remains a crafty route runner and has played in two Super Bowls before, including being named MVP. Kupp’s IQ could come into play here, and while he may be limited to receptions, all he needs is one catch that could be in the end zone.
