NFL Week 5 kicks off Sunday with 13 games, starting with an early London game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Jacksonville Jaguars, with intriguing opportunities for bettors focused on touchdown scorer props.<\/p>\n
The guessing game is fading four weeks into the season. We\u2019re getting a clearer idea of which players are getting the ball in scoring situations, which offences are finding their rhythm, and which defences are vulnerable near the goal line.<\/p>\n
Five injuries to watch if you\u2019re kicking around making TD scorer bets. Saquon Barkley is the biggie. The Eagles running back has not practised this week with that hamstring injury and is expected to miss Sunday\u2019s game. Keep an eye on Will Shipley\u2019s anytime TD odds, as he will inherit most of the goal-line opportunities.<\/p>\n
Ravens\u2019 quarterback Lamar Jackson has also been ruled out of their game against the Atlanta Falcons with an ankle injury. Tyler Huntley will start in his place. That should put even more focus on Ravens running back Derrick Henry.<\/p>\n
The biggest injury situation affecting the receiving corps Sunday is in Cincinnati, with both Ja\u2019Marr Chase (concussion) and Tee Higgins (adductor) possibly out for their game against the Miami Dolphins.<\/p>\n
Chase returned to practice yesterday but hasn\u2019t been cleared for Sunday. If either receiver misses the game, the other gets more red-zone opportunities.<\/p>\n
DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is expected to miss his second straight game for the Eagles, creating opportunities for the other receivers, especially tight end Dallas Goedert, if he plays (he\u2019s still listed as questionable with a knee issue).<\/p>\n
Here are my NFL Week 5 TD scorer picks.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"editor_block","content":"
D\u2019Andre Swift, Chicago Bears, Anytime Touchdown (-150)<\/strong><\/p>\n Kyle Monangai has been ruled out with a toe injury, leaving Swift with more goal-line work against the Packers in Green Bay.<\/p>\n Swift leads the Bears\u2019 red-zone rush attempts this year, while Green Bay has been soft against the run (139.3 rushing yards given up per game, 28th in the NFL).<\/p>\n Ashton Jeanty, Las Vegas Raiders, Anytime Touchdown, +100<\/strong><\/p>\n Jeanty, the second-year player, has handled all six of Las Vegas\u2019 carries inside the five-yard line over the Raiders\u2019 four games (although he still doesn\u2019t have a rushing touchdown), according to Pro Football Focus. He has two TDs as a receiver.<\/p>\n New England has allowed four rushing touchdowns so far and ranks 30th in rushing Expected Points Added, an advanced NFL stat that measures how much a running play improves or worsens a team\u2019s expected scoring position, according to Pro Football Focus. That bodes well for Jeanty, since he dominates his team\u2019s goal-line opportunities.<\/p>\n Other options: Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons, anytime touchdown (-250).<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"editor_block","content":" Nico Collins, Houston Texans, Anytime Touchdown (+140)<\/strong><\/p>\n I am looking at what Collins did last week, returning from a hamstring issue \u2013 7 catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 4 loss to Dallas, making him the first Texans player to have at least 100 yards receiving and two TD catches in a single game since Tank Dell in November 2023.<\/p>\n He\u2019s the clear priority focus for Texans\u2019 QB C.J. Stroud, especially in the red zone. Both teams are 0-4 \u2013 tons of pressure there.<\/p>\n Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions, Anytime Touchdown (-130)<\/strong><\/p>\n It feels like every weekend we\u2019re leaning on St. Brown, and he hasn\u2019t given anyone a reason to doubt him. He’s scored five TDs in Detroit’s first four games. Arizona\u2019s pass defence is vulnerable (233.8 yards per game, 22nd in the NFL).<\/p>\n Other options: Garrett Wilson, Jets, anytime touchdown (+140).<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"editor_block","content":" Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills, Anytime Touchdown (-115)<\/strong><\/p>\n Allen has scored a rushing touchdown in all four Bills games so far this season, and leads the league with seven rushing touchdowns. He\u2019s one of the more repeatable QB anytime TD bets on the board.<\/p>\n Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles, Anytime Touchdown (+200)<\/strong><\/p>\n Back to the Jaguars game: with Barkley out, Hurts will have even more goal-line focus. Hurts has an established goal-line rushing role. The concern is the depleted Eagles offensive line.<\/p>\n Other options: Drake Maye, Patriots, anytime TD (+330), Jayden Daniels, Commanders, anytime TD (+225).<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"editor_block","content":" Best overall Week 5 touchdown scorer bet is Hurts anytime TD at +200. With Barkley\u2019s availability a concern, Hurts will be an especially important part of the Eagles\u2019 goal-line offence.<\/p>\n"}],"related_content":[{"ID":120828,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2026-10-09 19:48:33","post_date_gmt":"2026-10-09 18:48:33","post_content":"","post_title":"NFL Week 5 Picks Against the Spread | Sunday NFL Picks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"nfl-week-5-picks-against-the-spread-sunday-nfl-picks","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-10-09 19:53:18","post_modified_gmt":"2026-10-09 18:53:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/?p=120828","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":120798,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2026-10-08 06:59:00","post_date_gmt":"2026-10-08 05:59:00","post_content":"","post_title":"Survey reveals where NFL fans want an expansion franchise","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-where-nfl-fans-want-an-expansion-franchise","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-10-08 14:02:06","post_modified_gmt":"2026-10-08 13:02:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/?p=120798","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":120775,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2026-10-07 18:57:28","post_date_gmt":"2026-10-07 17:57:28","post_content":"","post_title":"Cowboys vs Buccaneers Picks & Predictions | NFL Week 5 2026","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"cowboys-vs-buccaneers-picks-and-predictions-nfl-week-5-2026","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-10-07 19:28:03","post_modified_gmt":"2026-10-07 18:28:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/?p=120775","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120830","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120830"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120830\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":120831,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120830\/revisions\/120831"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Best NFL Week 5 Receiver TD Props<\/h2>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"editor_block","content":"
