Let's have a huge Sunday using our advanced NFL betting models.


NFL TD Predictions for Sunday Week 8

PRO touchdown picks for Week 8 start in the early window (1 p.m.) and run through the afternoon slate.

Among the four TD model picks, two are +1500 or longer!


NFL Touchdown Prediction No. 1 for Sunday

Let's start with Jets vs. Patriots.

Running back Braelon Allen is our top edge for Week 8 to score a touchdown.

Best odds for the rookie back to score are +425 at Caesars, implying about a 19% chance. We're much more optimistic, setting Allen's fair price to score more like +257.

PRO Projections Pick: Braelon Allen Touchdown (+425)


NFL Touchdown Prediction No. 2 for Sunday

Cardinals vs. Dolphins features a bunch of high-octane players, and Action PRO models spotlighted a nice 3/1 candidate to score Sunday in Week 8.

The hot pick here is Trey McBride for Arizona, who's +300 at FanDuel. Our models tab the fair price for the tight end to score more like +194.

PRO Projections Pick: Trey McBride Touchdown (+300)


NFL Touchdown Prediction No. 3 for Sunday

One of the biggest long shots on the board is Packers' tight end Ben Sims, who's +1500 to score at any point of Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. Odds imply a 6.25% chance of a touchdown, but PRO Projections set the number at a more optimistic 10%.

With backup tight end Luke Musgrave sidelined, Sims has caught a couple passes in relief the last few weeks. The Packers also have one of the highest team totals of the week, perhaps opening up more opportunities for the backup Sims.

PRO Projections Pick: Ben Sims Touchdown (+1500)


NFL Touchdown Prediction No. 4 for Sunday

Finally, the biggest payout of the bunch is Jets WR Xavier Gipson in Jets vs. Patriots. He's +1800 to notch a touchdown in Week 8, a lot higher than our fair price of +1010

PRO Projections Pick: Xavier Gipson Touchdown (+1800)
