With a Monday Night Football doubleheader on tap in Week 6, I’ve got a pair of anytime TD scorer predictions.
The pregame narrative: Josh Allen’s Buffalo Bills are looking to get out of a funk, and I expect the superstar QB to take matters into his own hands. Elsewhere, D’Andre Swift has decent value to score given how consistently involved he is in the Chicago Bears’ offence.
Check out my top anytime touchdown scorer picks for the MNF doubleheader on Oct. 13.

Allen is one of the biggest and most fearless quarterbacks in the NFL. Generally speaking, that makes him a great guy to bet on in the anytime TD market
The reigning NFL MVP can throw the ball a country mile, but when the Bills approach the end zone, he’s happy calling his own number.
- Allen is averaging a career-high 8.0 rush attempts per game, which has translated to three rushing TDs through five games.
- Inside the 10-yard line, Allen has as many carries (9) as pass attempts so far this season.
The Atlanta Falcons haven’t been easy to pass against in 2025. Their defence ranks fourth in dropback success rate, per RBSDM.com, and second in net yards per attempt.
If Allen doesn’t have anywhere to throw, he’ll have no issue tucking and running. With that in mind, I think there’s some value here.
Ket Stat: Allen’s nine carries within the 10-yard line are as many as the Bills’ running back room combined.
Bears vs. Commanders TD prediction
Swift to score a TD (+130): It hasn’t always been pretty for Swift, but he’s reliably seeing a bunch of touches in Ben Johnson’s offence.
As long as that continues, I’m content buying in on a price like this.
- Swift has at least one carry inside the 10-yard line in every game this season. And he has seven red zone carries in his past two games.
- By comparison, Chicago RB2 Kyle Monangai only has three red zone carries all season.
Washington’s run defence has been solid, allowing just three TDs through five games (along with the seventh-lowest success rate). But Swift can score as a receiver, too.
Though he hasn’t found the end zone yet through the air, Swift has at least three catches in each of Chicago’s games.
