The Detroit Lions are set to take on the Los Angeles Rams in a high-profile Week 15 matchup. Both teams rank among the NFL’s highest scorers, with the total set at a hefty 54.5.
Expect plenty of touchdowns, and I'm targeting a few of the most productive playmakers on both sides.
Here are my top free Lions vs. Rams anytime touchdown picks for Sunday, December 14.

Lions anytime touchdown pick
Amon-Ra St. Brown (+110 at FanDuel)
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has the lowest odds to score a touchdown in this game at -185. That said, the Los Angeles Rams have allowed a league-low two rushing touchdowns. They're more vulnerable through the air, where they've allowed 18 passing touchdowns.
The weakest link in the Los Angeles defense is its secondary, which is something that Lions No. 1 wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown can exploit. The All-Pro wideout has racked up 31 touchdowns in 46 games over the last three seasons.
With his solid frame, strong hands, and elite route-running, St. Brown is the Lions' go-to receiver when they get near the goal line. He's second in the league in red-zone targets with 20, corralling 14 of them for eight touchdowns.
St. Brown’s already high target share has increased even more in recent weeks following tight end Sam LaPorta’s season-ending injury.
Rams anytime touchdown pick
Kyren Williams (-110 at FanDuel)
The secret is out on Davante Adams, who leads the NFL with 14 receiving touchdowns. That said, with books now catching on to Adams’ scoring prowess, his anytime TD prop now sits at -180.
That makes Rams running back Kyren Williams present better value, with his line listed at -110. Williams has scored 11 touchdowns in 13 games this season and has found the end zone in five of his last six contests.
Detroit’s defense has struggled lately, giving up 29.3 points per game over the last three weeks. The Rams boast the league’s most efficient offense in terms of DVOA, EPA, and success rate, and they’ll be able to march down the field where Williams is poised to find paydirt.
