Bye weeks have begun, which means it’s slimmer pickings than we’re used to. Let’s dive into our NFL Week 5 anytime touchdown scorer best bets, while you can also find out our experts’ NFL picks for EVERY game.
Panthers vs Bears anytime touchdown scorer pick: Chuba Hubbard (+135)
Line available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Andy Dalton has given this Panthers offense new life the last two weeks, but let’s not ignore the fact that Chuba Hubbard has back-to-back 100+ yard games with a touchdown in each. He’s completely taken over this backfield, with Miles Sanders logging just 31% of the snaps last week. With Jonathan Brooks set to return soon, let’s get our Hubbard bets in while we can.
Hubbard and the Panthers will be met by the Chicago Bears and their middle-of-the-pack run defense. They’re allowing 1.3 rushing touchdowns per game, including four in their last two games. Putting my faith in Dalton and company getting down to the redzone – let’s hope Hubbard can punch one in.
