Buccaneers vs. Bears Anytime TD Scorer Picks for Sunday Night Football – November 8

Things haven’t been easy for the Buccaneers on offense, as Mayfield has missed plenty of time due to injury and also isn’t playing well when on the field. This is a true attack of duality, as Tampa Bay ranks dead last in passing yards but is first in rushing yards entering Sunday’s play.

Nothing encapsulated that better than Week 8, when the Bucs didn’t complete a single pass but still found a way to dominate the Atlanta Falcons by a final score of 16-0.

The Bears also had their fair share of QB uncertainty in regards to health, as star signal-caller Caleb Williams was on the shelf for multiple games earlier this campaign with a hamstring ailment. Since his return, though it’s been business as usual in Chi-Town.

With head coach Ben Johnson calling plays, the Bears are a top-10 offense and are even doing a huge chunk of their damage on the ground. RB D’Andre Swift is a touchdown machine, which might just come in handy for those making their predictions for Sunday Night Football.

Who else sniffs pay dirt in this one?

Anytime TDs on PrizePicks include rushing, receiving, recoveries, and returns. PrizePicks often list Anytime TDs as Demons and Goblins, meaning users can only select "More." For standard projections, users can select “More” or “Less.”

Demons are tougher to win but are the only way to get higher payouts. Meanwhile, Goblins are lower than a standard projection, but they are easier to win, so there’s a lower payout.
