Anytime Touchdown Scorer Predictions for MNF: Ravens vs. Chargers

Brothers John and Jim Harbaugh are the main attraction tonight when the Baltimore Ravens visit the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., with the game kicking off at 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN). My anytime touchdown scorer predictions for Monday Night Football look for the players who'll help propel their coach to victory.

Our Mike Spector is calling for a close game with his Ravens vs. Chargers prediction, and the Monday Night Football odds certainly agree. But with a betting total of 51 points, the Chargers' offense will need to keep pace with the high-flying Ravens.

Phil Wood is backing Chargers receiver Quentin Johnston to find the end zone with his Ravens vs. Chargers MNF prop bets, and we're also backing him to score the game's opening six points with our first touchdown scorer predictions. However, I'm shooting a little higher with my anytime touchdown scorer predictions.

Ravens anytime touchdown scorer prediction: Rashod Bateman, WR ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: | Implied probability: 23.26%

Bateman, the 27th overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, is finally enjoy a breakout season.

The 24-year-old has 531 receiving yards and four touchdowns while catching 53.8% of his targets through 11 games. He routinely ranks second on the team in snaps played among receivers, including 80% played last week.

The Chargers' strength is their defense, but they're most susceptible to wide receivers while containing running backs and tight ends.

I also like Bateman's 10.2 yards per target average in what's expected to be a close-fought game likely to need a couple of big plays for separation on the scoreboard.

These +330 odds from FanDuel would return a $33 profit on a winning $10 bet. That's an additional $8 compared to the +250 odds from our other NFL prop betting sites.

Chargers anytime touchdown scorer prediction: Josh Palmer, WR ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: | Implied probability: 23.81%

Palmer has just one touchdown through nine games (four starts) but he's catching 56.3% of his targets at an 18.3 yards per reception average. That's enough for me to back him to score tonight while sticking with my game theory of this contest being likely to come down to a couple of deep shots in the fourth quarter.

Palmer ranked second among the team's receivers with a 76% snap share last week and he's projected for 0.25 touchdowns tonight.

The Ravens' leaky secondary is well known, but we can continue to go back to the well against a team that's allowed 16 touchdowns and a league-worst 2,084 yards to opposing receivers through 11 games.

DraftKings' +320 odds would return a $32 profit on a winning $10 bet. That's $5.50 more than the +265 odds from Caesars.
