Best College Football Anytime TD Scorer Picks for PrizePicks – Friday, October 30

With Friday's matchups carrying so much importance, players may be extra eager to give their teams a much-needed boost to help with seeding in a season that's heating up in a big way. Which talents stand out as potential TD scorer picks?

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.

Tulane vs. Charlotte TD Scorer Prediction – 7 p.m. ET

Tulane RB Johnnie Daniels: 0.5 Anytime TDs (Goblin)

Inconsistency has plagued Tulane all season. It hasn't won back-to-back games and is now coming off the worst performance of the season, having lost 42-19 to UTSA.

The Green Wave have been average on defense against conference opponents, ranking seventh in points allowed per game (26.3). However, poor offensive play has troubled them, as they're 11th in PPG scored (22.3).

This week may bring the Green Wave’s best offensive effort as they face Charlotte, which is last in the American Conference in scoring defense (40.6 PPG).

One player on the rise for Tulane is RB Johnnie Daniels. He’s been explosive recently, averaging a mind-blowing 9.8 yards per carry over his last three games, up from just 3.9 in his first four. 

Those big runs are paying off; he’s produced a TD in each of his last two outings, including a 48-yard rushing score against Memphis.

This is a favorable matchup for Daniels, as Charlotte allows the second-most YPC in the American Conference (5.6) and ranks in the first percentile of the FBS in 10+ yard rushes given up(45).

Add Johnnie Daniels + Tulane to win to your PrizePicks lineup now.

Baylor vs. UCF TD Scorer Prediction – 7:30 p.m. ET

UCF RB Landen Chambers: 1.5 Anytime TDs (Demon)

Central Florida enters this week riding high after a thrilling 39-31 overtime win over #2 BYU. The Knights never let the Cougars take control, and UCF’s offense was productive through the air and on the ground, finishing with 463 total yards.

RB Landen Chambers played a crucial role in the upset. Although he had only 49 yards from scrimmage, he scored 2 TDs: one receiving and one rushing.

Chambers is the club's go-to player when at the goal line. Both scores against BYU came from inside the 10-yard line. In fact, 80% of his TDs this season have come from inside the 10.

This is a tough defensive matchup against Baylor, which has allowed just 5 rushing TDs, but BYU also came into its matchup with Central Florida having ceded only 5 on the year.

UCF is a different beast at home. All four wins have come at the Acrisure Bounce House, where the Knights are putting up 44.2 PPG.

Add Landen Chambers + UCF to win to your PrizePicks lineup now.

Kent State vs. Sacramento State TD Scorer Prediction – 10:30 p.m. ET

Kent State QB Dru DeShields: 1.5 Anytime TDs (Demon)

It’s been a long time since Kent State has been competitive. The program hasn't finished with double-digit wins since 2012, and during that time it's had four seasons with double-digit losses. 

At 3-5, the Golden Flashes could be in for their fifth straight losing season. They have only two wins in the MAC, and one was over an Akron team that is winless in the conference.

Much of these struggles stem from Kent State scoring the fewest PPG (14.9) and allowing the 12th-most (30.5).

Facing the Sacramento State Hornets, who haven’t beaten an FBS program this season, might be the ticket. Sacramento State isn't just losing — it's suffered those six straight defeats by at least three possessions.

This could be a game where QB Dru DeShields lights it up like he did last week against Akron, when he recorded 322 total yards with 4 passing TDs and 1 rushing TD.

Sacramento State has struggled against the run, ranking in the 13th percentile in rushing yards allowed per game (177.0) and allowing the third-most rushing TDs (22). The Hornets have also let opposing QBs utilize their mobility, with one rushing for a TD in six of eight games this season.

Add Dru DeShields + Kent State to win to your PrizePicks lineup now.
