As Super Bowl LIX approaches, betting on anytime touchdown scorers offers some of the best value and excitement for the big game. With the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles boasting plenty of offensive firepower, players like Dallas Goedert, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Justin Watson stand out as intriguing options. Whether you’re looking for reliable picks or sneaky longshots, we’ve broken down the key matchups and best bets to score in this highly anticipated rematch.
Eagles TE Anytime TD (+333, BetMGM)
The first guy to target right away for Super Bowl LIX wasn’t Saquon Barkley or Travis Kelce, but rather Eagles TE Dallas Goedert, who has been a force in the playoffs. He has at least four catches in nine straight playoff games dating back to January 2021 and also has a touchdown in three of those games. Two years ago, when he and the Eagles played Kansas City in Super Bowl LVII, Goedert had six catches on seven targets, with two of those receptions coming in the red zone.
Goedert has averaged over 90 percent of offensive snaps played over the last three playoff games for Philadelphia, so his usage is going to be there. The Chiefs ranked in the bottom five in targets, catches, and yards allowed to opposing tight ends this season, while also surrendering five touchdowns to them. I love his matchup here as the security blanket for QB Jalen Hurts, and I think he has a great chance to make a serious impact in this game. Not only do I like his Over yards and receptions, but I’ll also play his Anytime TD at +333.
Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster Anytime TD (+600, BetMGM)
I’m sure that JuJu Smith-Schuster is thrilled that TikTok wasn’t banned, but unfortunately for him, that is pretty much all he’s known for nowadays. He’s not a star anymore and is a third-string receiver on a team that lacks real weapons outside of Xavier Worthy at the position. However, just looking back at some of the previous Super Bowl appearances for Kansas City, there have been several guys that have scored as longshots for the Chiefs.
Receivers like Skyy Moore, Kadarious Toney, and Mecole Hardman have all scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl with Kansas City, and every one of them were longshots to score in those games. Smith-Schuster isn’t the guy he used to be in Pittsburgh, but he still sees a decent amount of action with their limited weapons, and I think he is worth a smaller wager as a longer shot to score.
Chiefs WR Justin Watson Anytime TD (+1200, BetMGM)
If you want a serious longshot wager to score a touchdown, I think you could do a lot worse than Justin Watson to get into the end zone in Super Bowl LIX. As I just mentioned, the Chiefs have had a propensity to score with some of their lesser-known guys, and Watson is one of them who does see some on-field action like Smith-Schuster. The Eagles have had a great defense all season against the pass, but Kansas City is a whole other story with Mahomes.
All of the attention will be on Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce, and no one will be keyed in on a guy like Watson. He has some really sneaky speed that can get behind a defense, and I would not be shocked at all if he scored a burner touchdown behind the safeties. It’s 12/1 for a reason, so the chances it happens are low, but I also think he’s worth a few bucks for that to happen.
