Monday Night Football is here, with the Washington Commanders and Kansas City Chiefs meeting, and what better way to enjoy the game than by betting on anytime touchdowns? 

Our Commanders vs. Chiefs anytime touchdown picks are looking at KC WR Rashee Rice and taking more of a long shot with Washington QB Marcus Mariota, as Jayden Daniels remains sidelined.

It's part of our full slate of Commanders vs. Chiefs predictions and NFL picks for Monday, October 27.

Commanders anytime touchdown pick

Marcus Mariota (+400 at bet365)

Marcus Mariota is a pretty good fit for this Washington Commanders offense with Jayden Daniels still sidelined, and while he doesn’t have the equivalent arm talent, and at 31 years old, isn’t quite as mobile and quick, he does slot into this system and offer similar skills. 

In his two starts, he carried the ball eight times for 80 yards and scored a rushing touchdown against the Raiders.

It’s been a while since Mariota was a regular starter, but he’s always been a reasonable rushing threat and has 19 rushing touchdowns to his name.

The Kansas City Chiefs have given up three rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks in just seven games this season. At big odds, it’s worth a sprinkle on Mariota to rush into the end zone, especially with his running back corps not really excelling this season.

Chiefs anytime touchdown pick

Rashee Rice (-105 at bet365)

The Chiefs struggled to start the season, with their receiving corps in particular being a major problem. There were injuries to personnel, but Rashee Rice's absence was the major headache.

Rice opened the season by serving a six-game suspension, but he came back in a big way last week. 

He only racked up 42 yards but saw a lot of volume with seven catches on 10 targets and, crucially, two touchdowns. He’s somebody that Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid both love, and they clearly trust him.

Despite playing just one game this season, he’s already had four red-zone targets. He’s repeatedly shown that he’s capable of being a hugely productive scorer, with 12 touchdowns in just 25 career games.
