5 MinutesNFL Week 6: New Orleans Saints vs. Cincinnati Bengals Best Anytime TD Picks
After making it to the Super Bowl last year, the Bengals are off to a sluggish start behind an offensive line that is porous at best. Joe Burrow has been sacked 18 times in the first 5 games despite the offensive line receiving attention in the offseason. Week 5 saw Cincinnati lose 19-17 to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night football, a game where the offense once again failed to be able to get going.
With a 39-32 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, the Saints earned their second win of the season. Alvin Kamara returned from injury to face the Seahawks and amassed 194 scrimmage yards on 29 touches.

New Orleans Saints vs. Cincinnati Bengals Best Anytime TD Picks
Anytime Touchdown Scorer - Joe Mixon (-115) (Bet $115 to win $100)
The prop markets are starting to catch up with Mixon, who at 64.5 yards is seeing his highest rushing total of the year this week. With a depleted offensive line, Mixon has still managed to be semi-productive, racking up 302 yards through five games on 96 caries.
Last week’s outing was his best yet, however, averaging 5.6 yards per touch and three interceptions, despite not finding the end zone. I think we see that change this week, as Mixon picks up his second TD of the season.
Anytime Touchdown Scorer - Alvin Kamara (+130) (Bet $100 to win $130)
Making his debut this season on September 11th vs. the Falcons, Kamara has returned from injury and steadily seen his looks (and production) increase each and every week. Last week was the best game of his season thus far, rushing for 103 yards on 23 attempts, in addition to catching six balls out of the backfield.
He has not yet, however, found pay dirt, which I think we see a concerted effort from the Saints to make sure that changes this week. While the Bengals rushing defense is formidable in allowing 99.6 yards per game, look for Kamara to have plays designed for him that get him out in the flat early and often.
Anytime Touchdown Scorer - Joe Burrow (+200) (Bet $100 to win $200)
Following a brutal loss last week on the road at Baltimore, I expect Joey Ice to come out on fire in this game. He’ll also be making his return to the scene of the 2019 championship game, also hosted in New Orleans, and a game that put Burrow firmly on the map as a marquee name.
So far this season, Burrow has already racked up 85 yards on the ground in 23 attempts, in addition to one touchdown. He now draws a New Orleans team giving up 130 yards per game on the ground, and I think we see Burrow sneak around the corner or up the middle at some point to secure his second game in a row with a rushing TD.
