Vikings vs. Bengals Anytime TD Scorer, Odds & NFL Week 15 Prediction

⭐ NFL Best Bet: Joe Mixon Anytime Touchdown (-115) at ESPN Bet

Despite the inconsistency at quarterback this season, Joe Mixon has continued to produce for the Bengals. The Cincinnati back leads the team with 768 yards rushing and seven touchdowns this season. We're going to target Mixon in the anytime touchdown player prop market against the Vikings. 

We like Joe Mixon Anytime Touchdown (-115) at ESPN Bet. Mixon has seven touchdowns in his last seven games, giving the Bengals a consistent scorer when the team reaches the red zone. Cincinnati will also be one of the better offenses the Vikings defense has recently faced. Minnesota has not allowed a rushing touchdown in five games, but the Vikings went up against the Saints, Broncos, Bears and Raiders during that span. Those teams rank 15th, 29th, 16th and 23rd in rushing scores this season. 

We're going to back Mixon to continue his trend of finding the end zone seven times in his last seven games. Take Mixon to score a touchdown against Minnesota on Sunday.

⭐ NFL Best Bet: Ja'Marr Chase Anytime Touchdown (+145) at ESPN Bet

The Cincinnati offense has found new life with Jake Browning replacing Joe Burrow at quarterback. What was thought to be a lost cause with the unproven Browning, the Bengals have now won two straight with Bronwing at quarterback. Browning has thrown for 629 yards and three touchdowns in those two wins. This bodes well for taking Ja'Marr Chase in the anytime touchdown player prop market. 

We like Ja'Marr Chase Anytime Touchdown (+145) at ESPN Bet. Chase has already caught a 76-yard touchdown from Browning this season and remains the most-targeted receiver in Cincinnatti's offense. Browning has targeted Chase 16 times over the last two games. 

There could be holes for Chase and Browning to exploit Minnesota's secondary. The Vikings are 31st in opponents' completion percentage (69%) and give up 1.2 passing touchdowns per game. Chase has been active in at all three levels in the passing game, which makes him the most versatile receiving threat for the Bengals and one of our top picks to score a touchdown on Sunday.

⭐ NFL Player Prop #3: Ty Chandler Anytime Touchdown (+155) at ESPN Bet

The Vikings became the latest team to win an NFL game without scoring a touchdown, tallying a 3-0 victory last week against the Las Vegas Raiders. Minnesota will now turn to Ty Chandler as the team's lead back after Alex Mattison sprained his ankle early in the second half of the win over the Raiders. With Nick Mullens set to take over at quarterback after Joshua Dobbs' struggles, we're going to back Chandler as Minnesota's top player to score a touchdown. 

We're going with Ty Chandler Anytime Touchdown (+155) at ESPN Bet. Chandler is coming off a season-high in touches (15) with 12 rushes for 35 yards and three catches for 7 yards after he replaced Mattison. Once again, it should be a heavy workload for Chandler with Mattison not practicing at all this week and ruled out for Sunday's game. Kene Nwangu is the third back on the depth chart but is utilized mostly in the kick return game, while fullback C.J. Ham is primarily a blocker. 

Considering how anemic the Vikings' pass game was last week with just 99 yards on 19 of 36 completions, there are no viable options in the anytime touchdown market for Minnesota's pass-catchers. Therefore, we're going to back Chandler to score against Cincinnati.
