Week 18 features only divisional games, which could help you make NFL touchdown bets. That's because you have plenty of historical data to consult, which can aid in choosing the right players for Week 18 NFL anytime TD bets. Alvin Kamara has no endzone trips in his last four games versus the Falcons, while Joe Mixon has no TDs in his last three against the Browns. A more favorable matchup history belongs to Aaron Jones. He's scored in five of his last six games against the Bears and has eight total TDs over those six contests. Your Week 18 NFL anytime TD bets could feature players like Jones rather than Kamara or Mixon, but it's quite a task to research every star player's matchup history. Before making any NFL touchdown prop bets, you need to see the Week 18 NFL prop predictions from SportsLine expert Griffin Carroll.
When betting touchdown parlays in the NFL, it can be best to wager at a lower unit size and consider betting all parlay legs straight as well. The TD market is both electrifying and frustrating, but few things are as satisfying as seeing your player hit pay-dirt, making it one of Carroll's favorite weekly traditions.
Carroll dives into the touchdown market, along with other plus-money NFL props, on a weekly basis, targeting volume players and the most vulnerable defenses in the league. He tends to focus on total touchdowns allowed to each position, defenses allowing the most explosive plays and every player's usage stats from snaps to red zone work to find his favorite bets of the weekend. The approach has paid out in a big way before in the parlay market with a nearly 400-1 hit earlier this season.
In Week 14, Carroll won a three-leg touchdown parlay as D.J. Moore, Deebo Samuel and Alvin Kamara all scored to hit a 9-1 NFL TD parlay.

Top anytime touchdown scorer prop picks for Week 18
After analyzing the Week 18 NFL touchdown odds, Carroll is backing Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown to score at +165 odds. This is the perfect storm of a streaking player going up against a struggling defense. St. Brown has scored in each of his last three games, while the last three weeks have been arguably Minnesota's worst showings, defensively, all season. The Vikings have allowed 290-plus passing yards just three times all season, but two of those have come over their last three games.
All six of the passing TDs that Minnesota's given up over this stretch have been to wide receivers, as wideouts have been on the receiving end of each of the last nine passing TDs the Vikings have surrendered. Additionally, St. Brown is 12 catches away from setting a new single-season franchise record for receptions, and he happened to have exactly 12 catches against Minnesota just two weeks ago. With the Lions still having seeding to play for, he should play the snaps needed to try to reach that milestone, and all of those targets only increases the chances that one of those catches will result with him in the endzone.
