For now, the Baltimore Ravens are still alive in the AFC playoff picture, but just barely.
A win Sunday at Lambeau against the Green Bay Packers is only the first tile that needs to cascade in Baltimore's favor to catch a postseason berth.
To do that, they're going to have to put up points against a Packers' offense that lives in the top half of NFL scoring. We've actually targeted a pair of our favorite bets to score a touchdown.
Read below for my Ravens vs. Packers anytime touchdown picks for Saturday, December 27.

Ravens anytime touchdown pick
Derrick Henry (-110 at FanDuel)
Even if Lamar Jackson (back) is a go, he'll be compromised, and the game plan can't be just to drop back and throw it 50+ times.
That's an even bigger recipe for disaster if that's the Baltimore Ravens' game plan for Tyler Huntley, Jackson's backup plan if the two-time MVP is a no-go.
Enter Derrick Henry, who's coming off his most productive game since Week 1, rushing for 128 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to New England.
It's been far from a dominant year for Henry, but he's run for 100+ yards in back-to-back games and looks as good as he has at any point this season.
He also finishes strong: Henry has recorded at least two touchdowns in the final three weeks of the regular season in each of the last four seasons.
Packers anytime touchdown pick
Emanuel Wilson (+325 at FanDuel)
The Green Bay Packers are in the playoffs, and while there is an outside chance they can sneak into the sixth seed from the seventh, the Pack will not stress themselves out in such a scenario.
Instead, I think they take an opposite approach: resting guys that are dinged up and giving some of their bench guys opportunities.
That should be the case for Green Bay's Josh Jacobs, who's been battling a knee injury the past few weeks.
He might get some reps, but Matt LaFleur should leave the heavy lifting to Emanuel Wilson. He had 14 carries for 82 yards last week in the loss to the Bears.
However, as the featured back against Minnesota on November 23, Wilson went for 107 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He might not get 28 carries, but enough of them to get a chance to punch it in.
