Packers vs Panthers Anytime TD Picks: 3 Thursday Night Scorers

Thursday Night Football brings Carolina to Green Bay on October 29 and our anytime touchdown shortlist features Josh Jacobs, Tucker Kraft, and Chuba Hubbard. Jacobs leads the card with the highest KofSports rating among the candidates, Kraft supplies a plus-money receiving option, and Hubbard gives us a Carolina scorer with a demonstrated rushing and receiving path to the end zone.

Packers vs Panthers Anytime Touchdown Picks

1. Josh Jacobs anytime touchdown (-135) — KofSports score: 79.8, Strong; overall weekly ranking: No. 7.

2. Tucker Kraft anytime touchdown (+170) — KofSports score: 73.7, Above Average; overall weekly ranking: No. 18.

3. Chuba Hubbard anytime touchdown (-120) — KofSports score: 70.0, Above Average; overall weekly ranking: No. 27.

The KofSports score is a composite research rating, not a touchdown probability. A 79.8 rating does not mean a 79.8% chance of scoring. We weigh the rating alongside actual recent usage and the price rather than treating it as a guarantee.

1. Josh Jacobs Anytime Touchdown (-135)

Jacobs is our first choice after scoring through the air in his season debut against Detroit on October 25. His box score included 11 carries for 36 yards and 5 receptions for 55 yards and a touchdown. 7 targets made his return more than a rushing-only workload.

That receiving involvement gives the bet another way to win. Jacobs does not need a rushing touchdown specifically: a receiving score also settles an anytime touchdown wager. His Detroit performance showed both rushing touches and a meaningful passing-game role, which is the most useful current evidence behind this selection.

The model supports keeping him at the top of the list, with a 79.8 Strong rating and No. 7 overall ranking in the snapshot. At -135, the price requires approximately a 57.4% scoring probability to break even. That is a price threshold, not our forecast.

The main limitation is sample size. Jacobs has only one game this season, so his debut touchdown cannot establish a reliable season hit rate. Green Bay’s offensive-line injuries also create uncertainty around drive efficiency and the opportunities available near the goal line. We prefer Jacobs among these candidates, but would not chase a substantially shorter price solely because he scored last week.

2. Tucker Kraft Anytime Touchdown (+170)

Kraft is our preferred plus-money option. He caught 4 of 6 targets for 48 yards and a touchdown against Detroit on October 25, providing recent evidence of involvement rather than a pick based only on a favorable model rank.

His 73.7 Above Average KofSports score places him No. 18 overall in the snapshot and second among the candidates shown for this matchup. The +170 price has a break-even probability of approximately 37.0%, offering a different risk-and-payout profile from the two running backs.

The case is that Kraft can be part of Green Bay’s scoring plan through the passing game. 6 targets in the latest game support his relevance, but we are not claiming they were all red-zone targets or that he has a guaranteed goal-line role. Those details are not established by the box score.

Jacobs and Kraft also compete for the same Green Bay touchdowns. Both can score, as they did against Detroit, but backing them separately does not make their outcomes independent. We like Kraft at +170 as a receiving alternative, with the understanding that a productive yardage game can still finish without a touchdown.

3. Chuba Hubbard Anytime Touchdown (-120)

Hubbard is our Carolina selection. His official game log shows 4 rushing touchdowns and 3 receiving touchdowns across 6 games this season, with at least one score in 4 of those 6 appearances. Multiple touchdowns in one game count as one successful anytime touchdown result, so seven total scores should not be mistaken for seven separate hits.

The strongest recent rushing workloads came against Philadelphia on October 18, when he carried 28 times for 120 yards and a touchdown, and Detroit on October 4, when he had 20 carries for 122 yards and 2 rushing scores. Those games demonstrate a path to meaningful volume and finishing opportunities.

His latest outing was less encouraging: seven carries for 33 yards and 4 catches for 27 yards, with no touchdown in Carolina’s 43–13 loss to Tampa Bay. That sharp drop in rushing volume is the key concern. If Carolina falls behind again, the rushing opportunities that powered his best games may not materialize.

Hubbard’s 70.0 Above Average rating and No. 27 overall ranking support including him, but -120 still requires approximately a 54.5% scoring probability to break even. We rank him third because the price demands more confidence than a plus-money option, while his latest workload introduces a clear risk.

Our Thursday Night Football TD Card

Jacobs is the top selection, Kraft is the plus-money alternative, and Hubbard is the Carolina option. Treat these as three straight-bet candidates rather than a required parlay. Each needs a rushing or receiving touchdown; passing touchdowns do not count as touchdowns scored by the quarterback.
