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 in 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 two of our three touchdown scorers hitting in each week
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.
Dameon Pierce
Anytime Touchdown Scorer +115
This is a get-right spot for Pierce, who only has one rushing touchdown this season.
The Panthers are 31st in rushing yards allowed and 32nd in rushing touchdowns allowed. Pierce leads the Texans with 16 red-zone carries, so this makes too much sense.
If Pierce can't punch it in against this defense, it's time to rethink his role.
Dallas Goedert
Anytime Touchdown Scorer +240
Goedert is starting to heat up with touchdowns in two of his last three games. There are two reasons to really like him here.
1) Goedert leads the Eagles with seven red-zone targets this season.
2) The Commanders have allowed four touchdowns to opposing tight ends in their last three games.
Goedert has historically played well against Washington, so let's bank on all of these trends here.
Tee Higgins
Anytime Touchdown Scorer +190
Higgins is off the injury report and should be close to 100% entering this big matchup against the 49ers.
Higgins has five red-zone targets this season despite missing some time, and he even has a two-touchdown game to his name this season. Also, Cincinnati's run game is a mess so I expect Joe Burrow's right arm to lead the offense against a 49ers defense that was just carved up by Kirk Cousins.
the 49ers have allowed the second-most receptions and 10th-most yards to opposing wide receivers this season. Higgins, who's in a contract year, is the guy we want if Burrow is finally right.
