We have a full slate of NFL games here in Week 15, as the playoff race is really heating up. The Buffalo Bills have the opportunity to make up ground on the New England Patriots in the AFC East, the Kansas City Chiefs are fighting for their postseason lives, while the Carolina Panthers are looking to hold onto first place in the NFC South. 

Who's scoring today? That's what everyone wants to know. Whether you're crafting the group-chat parlay or looking for a lesser-known name with some value, anytime TD bets have become one of the most popular wagers in the world of sports gambling. Below, we will break down five anytime TD bets to consider for Week 15. These will not be predictable choices like a Derrick Henry or Jonathan Taylor score, but they won't be wild long-shots such as a team defense. Let's begin with a star running back in a big matchup.

I don't know about you, but I have a tough time imagining the Patriots sweeping the season series with the Bills. If Buffalo is going to get revenge in Foxborough, it's going to have to rely on its top-ranked rushing attack. James Cook ranks No. 2 in rushing yards this season with 1,308, which adds up because I feel like he's been one of the best running backs this season. Cook has scored nine total touchdowns in 13 games played, but hasn't found the end zone in two weeks. He's due. 

2. QB Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles (-135)

There isn't much value here, but the Eagles are going to take out some frustration on the lowly Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Monday night, Jalen Hurts became the first quarterback to have zero touchdowns and five turnovers in a game since Justin Fields in 2021, which led to reporters asking Nick Sirianni if benching the reigning Super Bowl MVP was on the table. Hurts is going to come out angry, and score at least one rushing touchdown.

3. WR Brian Thomas Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars (+180)

Here's a bit of a long shot. Brian Thomas Jr. hasn't scored a touchdown since Oct. 12, but he may be due against the lowly New York Jets. Thomas actually led the Jags in receiving last week in the rain with 87 yards on three catches. If the Jaguars want to be a legitimate Super Bowl contender this year, they need Thomas to step up and be the kind of big-play weapon he was for Jacksonville as a rookie.

4. QB Jaxson Dart, New York Giants (+155)

The Giants are fresh off their bye week, and host a struggling Washington Commanders squad that has lost eight straight games. Did you know Dart's last outing vs. the Patriots was the first start he didn't score a rushing touchdown in since Oct. 5? The rookie scored at least one rushing touchdown in five straight starts previously. We say he gets back on track this week against Washington -- and +155 is a decent price.

5. RB Kyren WilliamsLos Angeles Rams (-110)

We cashed on Kyren Williams last week against the Arizona Cardinals, and I'm going back to the well. A reason why is because I think the Rams will take care of business against a struggling Detroit Lions defense. Williams has scored in six out of the last eight games, so the -110 price surprised me a little bit. I thought this would be more around -140.
