I cashed a pair of anytime touchdown scorer predictions Thursday when Cooper Kupp found the end zone in his first game since Week 2. We hit on the anytime score at +130 and a first-half anytime touchdown at +340.

Now my attention shifts to the NFL's full 14-game Sunday slate while looking to keep the good times rolling. 

The NFL Week 8 odds from our NFL prop betting sites are chock full of value with 28 teams in action. While only two games feature an Over/Under of at least 48 points, we can still unearth several plays to use in an attempt to pad our bankroll and fill our NFL Week 8 predictions.

The Falcons are bad at defending receivers, with nine touchdowns surrendered to the position through seven weeks. Safety Justin Simmons is also considered doubtful for Sunday due to an injury.

Palmer played sparingly in the Buccaneers' first four games of the season. He missed Weeks 5 and 6, then played 72% of the snaps last week while Mike Evans and Chris Godwin suffered significant injuries.

He caught just one of his three targets for 16 yards, but I'm considering that shaking off the rust ahead of Sunday's heavier usage.

Palmer played all 17 games as a rookie last year while catching three touchdown passes. The coaching staff and QB Baker Mayfield should be able to trust him in this highly important NFC South clash with an Over/Under of 46 points.

Caesars offers outlier +320 odds, with DraftKings listing a much more conservative +215 line.

I'm looking for Hopkins to follow in the footsteps of Amari Cooper, who scored in his first game with the Buffalo Bills last week.

We're getting higher odds than we should for Patrick Mahomes' No. 1 receiver. Hopkins has logged less than a week of practice and time with Andy Reid's extensive offensive playbook. Fortunately, the Chiefs are 9.5-point road favorites against the Las Vegas Raiders, so the play-calling shouldn't need to get too complex in the three-time All-Pro's first game.

Caesars has set these odds at a market-low of +175, so get the +200 from FanDuel for an extra $2.50 in profit on a winning $10 bet.

Dowdle's projected for 0.40 total touchdowns on Sunday night when combining his expected contributions via the rushing and passing games. The fifth-year pro scored receiving touchdowns in back-to-back weeks before receiving just 10 total touches in the Cowboys' blowout loss against the Lions before their bye.

Though Dowdle was scaled back to play just 28% of the snaps in that ugly Week 6 loss he played a season-high 50% of the snaps the week prior.

The Cowboys have had a week to try to erase the Lions game from their mind and can now go at a 49ers defense that has allowed seven total touchdowns to running backs this season.

Our Phil Wood offers his array of Cowboys vs. 49ers SNF prop bets.
