Who will score a touchdown this week? Whether you intend to make an anytime touchdown bet, are setting a DFS lineup or enjoy peering into a crystal ball, I have a prediction.
Each week, we generate projections for every game on the slate, and that includes the probability that a player will reach the end zone. Here are my top 30 predicted scorers for conference championship weekend, ordered by their implied odds*, as well as the anytime touchdown money line offered by DraftKings Sportsbook at the time of publication. The implied odds are what my projections consider the fair odds on that player to score on an anytime touchdown bet.
*Implied odds convert the probability of an outcome projected by Mike Clay into a money line. Look for implied odds that are higher than the money line offered. For example, if the implied odds are -150 and the money line is -110, then Clay’s projection system indicates an advantage for the bettor. If the implied odds are +110 but the line offered is -110, the projection system sees a disadvantage to be avoided.
