Best Week 14 anytime TD picks
TD prop bet #1: Coy Eakin
Best odds: +140 at DraftKings
Behren Morton has spread the ball around for the Texas Tech Red Raiders this year. His 25 touchdown passes — plus three more from other players — have gone to nine different receivers, with four different players collecting at least five scores.
The team leader in touchdown receptions for Texas Tech is sophomore Coy Eakin. While Eakin has gone three games without a score, he has caught three or more balls in eight of his 11 games this year, and is a threat from anywhere on the field, scoring a 70-yard touchdown this season.
What will really benefit Eakin this weekend is playing the West Virginia Mountaineers, who have done little to slow down the passing game. The Mountaineers have allowed opponents to complete 63.2% of their passes for an average of 9.0 yards per attempt and 14.3 yards per completion, among the worst numbers in the country.
Texas Tech is already a pass-heavy offense and should lean into that even further against West Virginia on Saturday. With so many weapons, there are no sure things for the Red Raiders, but Eakin has the combination of scoring potential and solid odds to make him a great pick in this game.
TD prop bet #2: Antonio Williams
Best odds:
Antonio Williams hasn’t just been paying out touchdown scorer props lately, but he’s been making money for those who want to back him for multiple scores. The Clemson Tigers wide receiver has scored twice in each of his last two games while catching 18 passes for 221 yards combined in those contests to boot.
Williams will have a somewhat tougher time of it this week than he did against the Citadel Bulldogs, but he’s still in line to perform well against the South Carolina Gamecocks this weekend. This won’t be an easy matchup for the Tigers, but quarterback Cade Klubnik has been nearly unstoppable this season, throwing for 29 touchdowns and just four interceptions on the year.
Klubnik has thrown for multiple scores in nine of his last 10 games, and Williams is his favorite target, leading Clemson in receptions (58), receiving yards (689), and touchdowns (10). In what should be a tight game down to the wire, Klubnik will need to throw the ball, and that means Williams will have his chance to score.
There’s nothing wrong with South Carolina’s secondary, but it’s far from spectacular, with the Gamecocks relying more on an excellent pass rush to slow down the passing game. Clemson has the talent on the offensive line to give Klubnik time to find his targets, which means Williams is a great bet to score at better than even money.
TD prop bet #3: Jadarian Price
Best odds:
If you follow the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at all, you know the drill. Running back Jeremiyah Love runs for touchdowns. Riley Leonard runs for touchdowns. Rinse and repeat, and outside of one stunning loss to the Northern Illinois Huskies, you’ve got a winning formula.
But there are, in fact, other players on the Notre Dame roster. And with the odds on Leonard and Love being absolutely atrocious, we need to look elsewhere to find value on Irish touchdowns.
This week, Notre Dame gets a rivalry matchup that they should win on the road against the USC Trojans. Even out in Los Angeles, I expect the Irish to have their way with what has been a decidedly mediocre USC team that only clinched bowl eligibility last week.
That should mean opportunities for more players, and for me, that means targeting secondary running back Jadarian Price. The junior has quietly scored six touchdowns on 77 carries and picked up two scores last weekend against the Army Black Knights.
Price continues to get a fair number of carries in every game, and has scored in two of Notre Dame’s last three contests. He may only be a change of pace back, but in a game where the Irish should move the ball well against an uninspiring Trojans defense, I like Price to score at +175.
