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. 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.
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 (which would be unfortunate), 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 habits.
So far, I’m 0-6 this season and down $60. We’ve gotten really close in Weeks 3 and 5, with 2-of-3 touchdown scorers hitting.
Disclaimer: 18-1 parlays have less than a 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.
Here’s my Anytime Touchdown Parlay for Week 7 at +1792 at BetMGM.
Amon-Ra St. Brown
Anytime Touchdown Scorer +125
Keeping this one short and sweet.
St. Brown has 36 targets and two touchdowns over his last three games; he also leads Detroit in red-zone targets. The guy is basically matchup proof.
He goes up against a Ravens defense that gives up a ton of receptions and will be without safety Marcus Williams.

Amari Cooper
Anytime Touchdown Scorer +190
Cooper only has one touchdown, but it's actually the only one by a Browns receiver this season. Touchdowns aside, Cooper leads the team in pretty much every receiving category — and now he gets to face a below-average Colts defense.
The Colts secondary is bottom 10 in yards and touchdowns allowed to wide receivers.
Does it matter if it's Deshaun Watson or PJ Walker at quarterback? Not really.
Josh Palmer
Anytime Touchdown Scorer +190
Palmer has assumed the WR2 role for the Chargers with Mike Williams out for the season.
Over the last two games, Palmer has racked up 15 targets. He nearly had a touchdown last week, but it was called back by a penalty.
While the Chiefs have a tough secondary, Palmer scored in both games against them last season.
