Betting on NFL Anytime Touchdown parlays 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 financially?
Allow me to introduce “The 180 Challenge”. Here’s how it works:
Each week, I'll be betting a three-leg Anytime TD parlay that equates to +1800 or more at BetMGM. $10 per parlay ticket, $180 total for the season.
A NEW piece of NFL content I'll be doing this year for @ActionNetworkHQ involves Anytime TD parlays.
It's called "The 180 Challenge". Here's how it works:

The goal is obviously to win as much as possible. BUT, the safety net is you only need to hit one parlay all season to make your money back. If you go 0-18, the positive spin is it's only $180. This way, we can still participate with fun touchdown parlays while managing our bankroll and not going overboard on bad spending habits.
Disclaimer: 18-1 parlays have less than a 5% chance of hitting. That percentage only shrinks as you increase the parlay odds. Keep your expectations in check and bet on these for recreation.
Here’s my Anytime Touchdown Parlay for Week 3 at +2053 at BetMGM.
James Cook
Anytime Touchdown Scorer +125
Cook has yet to score this season, but I think that’s going to change this week.
He leads the Bills with 29 carries while Damien Harris and Latavius Murray have just 16 combined. While the Commanders defensive line is strong, that's not going to stop the Bills from getting a lead and grinding this game down.
If that doesn’t convince you, Cook just welcomed a baby on Thursday and it’s his birthday on Monday.
That’s all I need.
K.J. Osborn
Anytime Touchdown Scorer +190
Osborn, who had a touchdown last week, plays over 95% of snaps and is out there for all two-receiver sets.
The Vikings' pass rate is the third highest in the NFL through 2 weeks and that's unlikely to change against a Chargers team that has decided that pass defense is optional 2023.
Tank Bigsby
Anytime Touchdown Scorer +230
Bigsby scored in Week 1 and has as many red-zone carries as Travis Etienne.
The Texans are putrid stopping the run. They gave up the most touchdowns to running backs last year and it’s been more of the same in 2023.
This is the long-shot part of the parlay, but if the Jags get up early, Frank the Tank Bigsby could go streaking into the endzone.
