Best anytime TD scorer bets for NFL's Week 16 Christmas Eve Sunday slate of games
The Cleveland Browns (9-5) hit the road to take on the Houston Texans (8-6) in a Week 16 Christmas Eve Matchup.
The Texans may have to play their next game without their starting quarterback, C.J. Stroud. He is currently in concussion protocol and missed the previous game against the Tennessee Titans. Stroud is a versatile quarterback and has the ability to make plays in the air and on the ground, which makes his absence a significant loss to the Texans offense, and other players will have to step up to fill the void. In Stroud's absence, Case Keenum played well, completing 23 out of 36 attempts for 229 yards, with one touchdown and one interception against the Titans.
Joe Flacco played a crucial role in the Browns' victory against the Chicago Bears, helping them maintain their fifth spot in the AFC. Against the Browns, wide receiver Amari Cooper caught four out of eight passes for 109 yards and one touchdown.

Best TD bets for Sunday's Week 16 games:
Miami Dolphins Running Back Raheem Mostert (-130)
Raheem Mostert had 15 carries and rushed for 42 yards, scoring two touchdowns against the New York Jets. As of Week 15, Mostert has achieved a total of 18 touchdowns this season, which makes him a reliable choice for scoring in the upcoming match against the Dallas Cowboys.
Detroit Lions Running Back Jahmyr Gibbs (-105)
In Week 15, Jahmyr Gibbs had an impressive performance for the Lions against the Denver Broncos. He carried the ball 11 times and gained 100 yards, scoring one rushing touchdown. This was his second rushing touchdown in the past three games, demonstrating that the rookie is becoming an essential part of the Lions' offense.
Tennessee Titans Running Back Derrick Henry (-115)
Derrick Henry had a tough game during Week 15 when the Titans lost 19-16 to the Houston Texans. He only managed to gain nine yards from 16 carries. However, in the four games leading up to Week 15, Henry had scored six rushing touchdowns. In the upcoming match on Christmas Eve against the Seattle Seahawks, Henry will be looking to bounce back and find the end zone.
Cincinnati Bengals Running Back Joe Mixon (-110)
Joe Mixon remains a significant contributor to the Bengals offense. He completed 10 carries for 47 yards and one rushing touchdown in the team's 27-24 overtime victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Mixon has scored three rushing touchdowns in the last three games, making him a confident pick to find the end zone in Week 16.
