NFL Week 18: Two TD props for the two Saturday games

By Griffin Carroll | Last updated 1/5/24

We're treated to a pair of NFL games this Saturday, which has us wanting to treat you with a pair of touchdown bets at +350 and better. Use smaller unit sizes on touchdown props but get these in your pocket for extra rooting interest to get the weekend started.

Tyler Huntley (+350 BetMGM)

Huntley is starting at quarterback for Baltimore this weekend, and while it may be best to avoid the Ravens given so many starters are sitting, this just feels like too fun of a bet to ignore.

When given opportunities, Huntley has never shied away from running the football. Over the last 11 games in which Huntley played half to all of Baltimore's snaps, he averaged 43.2 rushing yards per game. That includes three games against Pittsburgh in which Huntley averaged 42.3 yards per game.

The touchdowns have not followed Huntley too much, with just three to show for it during this span, but his legs always give him the chance for some creativity near the goal line.

Alec Pierce (+360 DraftKings)

We're opting for another longer-odds play in the late game with Indianapolis' Alec Pierce. Pierce scored last week, his second touchdown in the past five games. Pierce's role in this Colts offense is clear: he's the deep-threat wide receiver out there to spread the field with deep routes.

Pierce might get some chances to pop here, as this Houston defense has been very vulnerable to explosive passes of late, see: Amari Cooper in Week 16. We're taking a chance on Gardner Minshew's most exciting down-field threat in a game that could be very back-and-forth.
