As Week 14 of the NFL season approaches, six teams will be enjoying a bye week. This situation leads to a reduction in betting options, particularly for anytime touchdown prop bets. Nevertheless, several players are anticipated to score this week, based on the latest odds from BetMGM online sportsbook.
**Running Backs**
**David Montgomery, Lions, -175**
For the first time in 25 games, the Detroit Lions failed to rush for a touchdown during their Thanksgiving matchup against the Chicago Bears. They have a chance to start a new scoring streak this Thursday night at home against the Green Bay Packers, with David Montgomery leading the charge. He scored a touchdown in three consecutive games before last week.
**Kenneth Gainwell, Eagles**
Kenneth Gainwell may seem like an underdog, but the Philadelphia Eagles have the potential to dominate the Carolina Panthers, possibly resting lead back Saquon Barkley in the second half. This scenario would open up more rushing opportunities for Gainwell, particularly against a Carolina defense that ranks third in the league for most rushing touchdowns allowed per game heading into this week.
**Chase Brown, Bengals**
Chase Brown has stepped up as the primary running back for the Cincinnati Bengals and faces a favorable matchup on Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys, who are struggling defensively and allow the highest number of rushing touchdowns in the league. Brown is not only effective on the ground but can also catch passes out of the backfield, having recorded at least three receptions in four consecutive games.
**Wide Receivers**
**Amon-Ra St. Brown, Lions, +100**
After an impressive stretch of eight straight games with a touchdown, Amon-Ra St. Brown has recently gone two games without reaching the end zone. In a critical divisional clash against the Packers this Thursday, quarterback Jared Goff may prioritize targeting his top receiver, especially in the red zone. The Packers currently rank 16th in the league regarding passing touchdowns allowed per game.
**Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Titans**
Playing for the Tennessee Titans, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has scored four touchdowns over his last three games and is in a promising position to maintain his performance this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are tied for allowing the most passing touchdowns in the NFL ahead of their divisional face-off.
**A.J. Brown, Eagles**
After a strong start to the season with a touchdown in the first three games, A.J. Brown’s scoring has decreased with only one end zone trip in the last six games. However, he may have an opportunity to rectify this against the Panthers, who – much like the Jaguars – are allowing the third-highest number of touchdowns per game in the league.
