Chiefs vs. Raiders Best Anytime Touchdown Scorer Pick for NFL Week 8 (Betting on Brock B

The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to remain undefeated in the 2024 season when they take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8, and there will be a new face on the Kansas City sidelines.

The team acquired veteran receiver DeAndre Hopkins in a trade this week after losing Rashee Rice for the season and JuJu Smith-Schuster to a hamstring injury.

Kansas City is heavily favored in this game, but I’m focusing on the anytime touchdown scorer market for some of the best plays in this game – including a prop from our NFL betting insider Iain MacMillan.

Kareem Hunt always TD (-140)

Since returning to the Chiefs, running back Kareem Hunt has taken over the role of bell cow for Andy Reid.

Through three games, Hunt has 14, 27 and 22 carries for 249 rushing yards and three scores. Not only that, but Hunt has seen his snap shot rate increase each week from 45 percent to 63 percent to 64 percent.

He took over this backfield from Carson Steele, and he’s a must to find the end zone against a Las Vegas defense that has allowed nine rushing touchdowns and 4.8 yards per carry this season.

Brock Bowers Anytime TD (+190)

NFL betting insider Iain MacMillan has rookie tight end Brock Bowers as one of his favorite prop bets in Week 8. He broke this game down in his Player Prop Countdown article:

The Kansas City Chiefs have struggled to defend against tight ends all season, so it makes sense to bet on one of the most effective tight ends in the league to find the end zone, especially at +255 odds.

The Raiders’ rookie tight end is tied for sixth in the NFL in targets this season with 60 and has seen double-digit goals scored along with 8+ receptions in three straight games. Furthermore, if the Chiefs take a big lead, a negative game script should give Bowers even more opportunities through the air.

Bonus: DeAndre Hopkins Anytime TD Outlook

Kansas City added wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins in a trade with the Tennessee Titans this week, but his role and status for Week 8 is up in the air as he doesn’t have much time to prepare with the team.

Both Amari Cooper and Davante Adams played last week after trades, but Hopkins enters a new offense (Adams had some notoriety) in a crucial divisional game.

While I don’t mind taking a stab at DHop, it’s worth noting that his snap count may be limited this week.
