Betting an NFL Parlay with Anytime Touchdown scorers is incredibly fun, even if they’re mostly a losing proposition that will drain your bankroll if you’re not careful. Most sportsbooks tend to clean up on this bet type, so how do we scratch the parlay itch without overextending ourselves?
Allow me to introduce “The 180 Challenge” — here’s how it works in case you're not familiar with the concept:
Each week, I bet on a three-leg Anytime TD parlay that equates to somewhere around +1800 or more; $10 per parlay ticket, $180 total for the season. The goal is to win as much as possible. But the safety net is that you only need to hit one parlay all season to make your money back.
If you go 0-18 (which would be unfortunate), the positive spin is that it's only $180. This way, we can still participate in fun touchdown parlays while managing our bankroll without going overboard on bad spending habits.
Here’s my Anytime Touchdown Parlay for Week 8.
NFL Parlay — Week 8 Anytime TD Picks
- Jaylen Waddle Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+190, bet365)
- Rome Odunze Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+140, bet365)
- Chris Olave Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+200, bet365)
Parlay Odds: +1988 via bet365
Disclaimer: 18-1 parlays have less than 5% chance of hitting, and that percentage only shrinks as you increase the parlay odds. Keep your expectations in check and bet on these for recreation.
Dolphins vs Falcons TD Pick: Jaylen Waddle
Jaylen Waddle hasn’t found the end zone in a couple of games, but he still has three touchdowns on the year and leads the Dolphins with six red-zone targets.
With Darren Waller and Julian Hill out, Waddle could see an even bigger share of the passing work this week.
The Dolphins come in as big road underdogs, which likely means plenty of passing volume. I like Waddle’s chances to get back on the board here.
Bears vs Ravens TD Pick: Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze has already scored five touchdowns this season, and today's matchup sets up nicely for him to add another.
The Ravens' pass defense has struggled, allowing 10 touchdowns to wide receivers — ranking bottom three in the NFL — and they play man coverage at the third-highest rate in the league.
Odunze leads the Bears in both target share and touchdowns against man defenses this season, making him a prime candidate to find the end zone again..
Buccaneers vs Saints TD Pick: Chris Olave
Chris Olave has already scored three touchdowns this season and is coming off a two-touchdown performance.
He ranks second in the NFL in total targets and leads the Saints by a wide margin with eight end-zone targets this year.
The Buccaneers’ defense is far stronger against the run than the pass, and with the Saints coming in as home underdogs, they’ll likely continue looking Olave’s way in the red zone. This sets him up nicely for another touchdown opportunity.
