Best College Football Anytime TD Scorer Picks for PrizePicks – Friday, November 13
With these matchups carrying so much importance and conference races heating up, there's plenty of incentive for teams to put forth some promising showings. With that in mind, a small handful of players may be able to help lead their teams to victory on Friday.
Anytime TDs on PrizePicks include rushing, receiving, recoveries, and returns. PrizePicks often lists 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 is a lower payout.
All stats are via CFB Stats, PFF, and Game on Paper unless otherwise noted.
Florida State vs. Pittsburgh TD Scorer Prediction – 7 p.m. ET
Florida State QB Ashton Daniels: 0.5 Anytime TDs (Goblin)
A new era in Florida State football will begin in 2027 after the firing of head coach Mike Norvell.
The Seminoles have been playing better recently, in fairness. They beat Boston College last week, almost came back from a 19-point deficit against Clemson the week before, and went into two overtimes in a loss to Miami.
QB Ashton Daniels has played a vital role for FSU’s offense and is one of the country’s more dynamic dual-threat players. His 2,184 passing yards rank 28th in the nation, his 565 rushing yards are 17th at his position. Additionally, his 13 rushing TDs are fourth, with 12 coming in the red zone.
Daniels has had a special season. He's already made FSU history by setting the single-game rushing TD record with 5, and his overall rushing TD mark is the most in a season by a Seminoles QB.
This could be a difficult matchup for Florida State to move the ball on the ground, as Pittsburgh ranks third in rushing yards allowed per game in conference play (89.5). However, the Panthers have ceded 9 rushing TDs in six ACC games.
The Panthers have given up just 2 rushing TDs to the QB position in ACC play, but they haven’t faced someone like Daniels, who could have designed runs near the goal line.
Given his rushing prowess, Daniels might just be able to overcome this tough matchup.
Add Ashton Daniels + Florida State to win to your PrizePicks lineup now.
Illinois vs. #4 UCLA TD Scorer Prediction – 9 p.m. ET
UCLA RB Wayne Knight: 0.5 Anytime TDs (Demon)
UCLA keeps rolling and is one of two remaining undefeated teams in the FBS.
This is one of the Bruins’ best seasons in over a decade. Sitting #4 in the College Football Playoff rankings, they could finish in the top 10 of any college football poll for the first time since 2014.
Two factors are helping the Bruins be a contender. First, the defense has dominated opponents. UCLA leads the conference in opponent third-down conversion rate (18.9%) and ranks second in PPG given up (15.5).
Lastly, it’s the run game that's doing significant damage. With QB Nico Iamaleava out for the rest of the season, the Bruins lead the conference in rushing attempts per game (43.0).
RB Wayne Knight is leading that attack, topping the conference in rushing YPG (94.7) and in rushing TDs in conference play (7). He’s been a fun pick to find the end zone, having scored in every game.
Illinois is average against the run, slotting in at eighth in the conference in rushing YPG given up (131.3), but it's allowed the third-most rushing TDs (10). All 10 have occurred in the red zone.
The Bruins look to Knight in the red zone, with him boasting a whopping 36 carries inside the 20. He’s had a lot of success, with 9 of his 13 rushing TDs coming in that red area.
Add Wayne Knight + UCLA to win to your PrizePicks lineup now.

#14 Houston vs. Colorado TD Scorer Prediction – 10:15 p.m. ET
Houston WR Amare Thomas: 0.5 Anytime TDs (Demon)
The Cougars, who are in a heated conference race with Texas Tech (one Big 12 loss) and BYU (two losses with a tiebreaker), have an incredible passing game led by QB Connor Weigman. He's second in the Big 12 in passing TDs (14) and third in YPG against conference opponents (157.5).
WR Amare Thomas has paved the way with a team-high 698 receiving yards and 8 TDs. The star wideout has also rounded into form recently as, since Week 7, he’s 18th in the nation among WRs with 311 yards and sixth with 4 TDs.
Houston has a favorable matchup against Colorado, with head coach Deion Sanders engineering another underwhelming season and the Buffaloes residing at 1-5 in conference play.
The Colorado defense has struggled against the pass, giving up the second-most TDs (15). It doesn't allow many yards through the air, ranking sixth in passing YPG in conference play (244.2).
With that said, the Buffaloes' red-zone defense is a huge weakness. It's 11th in conversion rate, and 9 of the 11 red-zone TDs allowed have come through the air.
For Thomas, 5 of his 8 receiving TDs are in the red zone, so Weigman could be looking his way for a scoring opportunity.
Add Amare Thomas + Houston to win to your PrizePicks lineup now.
