NFL Week 13 Betting Picks: Thanksgiving Anytime TD Scorers & Parlays

Thanksgiving football is here, and the table isn’t the only thing loaded — these games are stacked with touchdown potential. We’ve got the Packers and Lions kicking things off in a classic NFC showdown, where Jordan Love looks primed for an aerial strike and Jahmyr Gibbs could carve up defenses like a turkey. Later, the Chiefs and Cowboys headline a high-octane matchup featuring Travis Kelce hunting for the end zone and CeeDee Lamb ready to feast on single coverage across from the electric George Pickens.

And then there’s the nightcap: Ravens vs. Bengals. Joe Burrow returns alongside Ja’Marr Chase for a divisional clash that screams fireworks, while Mark Andrews lurks as a red-zone monster against a defense that’s been a free square for tight ends all season.

With star power everywhere and plenty of scoring upside, these Thanksgiving games are perfect for building juicy Anytime TD parlays. Let’s dig in and find the best plays to cash before the Tryptophan hits the system.

THANKSGIVING ANYTIME TD SCORERS & PARLAYS

PACKERS VS LIONS – 1:00 PM EST

CHRISTIAN WATSON (+190)

Christian Watson has really stepped into the WR1 role for Green Bay over the past two games. He’s leading the team with an 83% route share, pulling in 25% of targets and a hefty 36.2% of air yards, averaging 47.5 receiving yards per game, per FantasyPros. Since Week 11, he’s also been the go-to guy in key spots, with two red-zone looks and three deep shots.

The matchup looks tasty too, as seen above. Detroit’s defense has been vulnerable to deep passes and leans heavily on single-high coverage. Since Week 7, they’ve given up the 10th-most fantasy points and 7th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter receivers.

Bottom line? Watson is in a prime spot to deliver again. And what’s better than cashing in on a Jordan Love bomb for six?

DAVID MONTGOMERY (+145)

Would there be anything more classic than Jahmyr Gibbs ruining everyone’s touchdown parlays during the first game on Thursday? It’s clear that over the last two games, David Montgomery has clearly taken a back seat to Gibbs. Since Week 11, Monty’s averaging just 36% of snaps, 7.5 touches, and 37 total yards per game. And when it comes to scoring chances? Since Week 10, he’s had only three red-zone rushes compared to Gibbs’ seven, per FantasyPros.

Bottom line: All signs point to another big Gibbs day, but sometimes fading the obvious is the move. Sprinkling a little on Monty for first TD? I’m cool with that.

PARLAY ODDS: WATSON + MONTGOMERY = +598

LONG-SHOT TD PARLAY: ROMEO DOUBS (+160) + AMON RA ST. BROWN 2 TD (+700) = +1557

CHIEFS VS COWBOYS – 4:30 PM EST

JAKE FERGUSON (+210)

Jake Ferguson has been reliable in fantasy all szn, ranking as the TE4 in points per game. Even in an offense featuring two of the top receivers in the game, he’s pulling an 18.9% target share and averaging 41.8 yards per game. Oh, and he’s second among all tight ends in red-zone targets, trailing only Trey McBride.

The matchup isn’t great on paper, but the Chiefs do have a tendency to give up big plays to the tight end, leaving the middle of the field open at times. Even with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens shredding secondaries, Ferguson has hit 5+ receptions in three straight and in 82% of his games this season.

One of Lamb or Pickens will score, but let’s roll the dice on the tight end this week at a solid price.

TRAVIS KELCE (+120)

Is Travis Kelce back? Maybe not the unstoppable force of old, but he’s still seeing steady usage, and lately, the Mahomes-to-Kelce connection looks alive again. In two of his last four games, Kelce has gone for 90+ yards and a touchdown. In the other two? Solid floors with 66 and 43 yards on four catches each.

That consistency matters, and the touchdown upside is still there, scoring two touchdowns in his last four games. This week, the Chiefs head into a Thanksgiving shootout against the Cowboys. Dallas ranks fourth in offensive yards allowed and fourth in points scored per game, a recipe for offensive fireworks. Sure, they’re league-average against tight ends, but game script should overshadow that.

Bottom line: let’s get both tight ends to pay dirt on primetime. Can’t you just picture Taylor Swift with her lovely Thanksgiving outfit

PARLAY ODDS: FERGUSON + KELCE = +582

LONG-SHOT TD PARLAY: PATRICK MAHOMES (+450) + DAK PRESCOTT (+700) = +4222

BENGALS VS RAVENS – 8:20 PM EST

JA’MARR CHASE (-120)

Ja’Marr Chase is back from hawk tua’ing just in time for a divisional Thanksgiving showdown, and this one has all the makings of a monster game. Last season against the Ravens? Chase went nuclear: 21 catches, 457 yards, and five touchdowns across two meetings. Now Joe Burrow returns under center, and Tee Higgins is out with a concussion, which means Chase could see an absurd target share.

The matchup screams opportunity. Baltimore’s secondary is under the microscope now that it’s healthy, but volume beats matchup, and Chase is Burrow’s guy when the lights are brightest. This play might feel chalky at -120 for an anytime TD, but it’s hard to ignore. Want some spice? Sprinkle First TD at +700 and Two TDs at +500. If Burrow’s arm is live, Chase could break the slate.

MARK ANDREWS (+100)

Mark Andrews has been hit-or-miss this season (TE18 in fantasy points per game), but the ceiling is still there, and this matchup is as good as it gets. The Bengals have been a goldmine for tight ends, giving up the most yards per game and most fantasy points per game to the position. Just look at recent history: Hunter Henry (7-115-1), Colston Loveland (6-118-2), and Pat Freiermuth (5-111-2) all torched them.

This feels like a smash spot for Andrews. The play? Anytime TD is the chalk. Want a long(er) shot? Isaiah Likely at +280 Anytime TD is worth a look too.

PARLAY ODDS: CHASE + ANDREWS = +290

LONG-SHOT TD PARLAY: MIKE GESICKI (+330) + ISAIAH LIKELY (+280) = +1401
