Buccaneers anytime touchdown pick
Rachaad White (-105 at bet365)
Injuries have forced Rachaad White to become the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' every-down running back, and he’s commanding nearly all red-zone opportunities from the backfield.
Over the last two games, he has seen nine combined red-zone touches, and he’ll likely add to that against a Detroit defense allowing at least 21 points in three of their previous five games.
White’s dual-threat ability as a runner and reliable receiver out of the backfield makes him particularly dangerous in the red zone, especially against a Detroit defense that has allowed multiple RB touchdowns this season, including receiving scores.
White has scored touchdowns in two straight games and is a good bet to hit paydirt again.

Lions anytime touchdown pick
Sam LaPorta (+170 at bet365)
Sam LaPorta is the Lions’ primary red-zone tight end, seeing five goal-line targets through six games.
His crisp route-running and dependable hands make him a reliable target near the end zone, particularly on quick slants and off play-action opportunities.
Tampa Bay’s defense allows 25 points per game and has allowed multiple TDs to tight ends this season, and Laporta might be the most athletic TE the Bucs have faced thus far.
LaPorta has 12 targets and has scored touchdowns in two consecutive games. He’s a high upside value play with a strong chance to find the end zone against this Tampa Bay defense.
