As a result, the rankings have shifted, and new teams are emerging as College Football Playoff contenders. We have just two matchups between ranked teams this week: #22 Arizona vs. #13 Texas Tech and #17 Florida vs. #3 Georgia. But that doesn’t mean we won’t see excitement, as recent results show.
We’ll focus on players who can help their team by finding the end zone. Let’s highlight our top college football Anytime TD scorer predictions for PrizePicks on Saturday, featuring three players who could score six.

Best College Football Anytime TD Scorer Picks for PrizePicks – Saturday, October 31
Stakes are increasing weekly across college football, only adding to each player's motivation to help their team with another touchdown.
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.
#19 SMU vs. Syracuse Anytime TD Scorer Prediction – 12:00 p.m. ET
SMU RB Kendrick Raphael: 1.5 Anytime TDs (Demon)
The ACC has a few talented running backs, and Kendrick Raphael is among them. He’s coming into this week leading the ACC in rushing yards (540) and rushing TDs (6) against conference opponents.
Last week vs. California, he had another excellent performance, and it was the fourth time he finished with more than 120 yards from scrimmage. He also played a large part in SMU's season-high 59-point output, with 2 rushing TDs and his first receiving TD of the season on a 22-yard reception.
The Mustangs use their fast pace for more opportunities on offense, ranking in the 92nd percentile for adjusted pace (23.8 seconds), according to Fourth and Short. This gives Raphael plenty of chances to get the ball, and he has at least 22 carries in four of his last five games, and in three of those games, he’s found the end zone.
Syracuse is an interesting matchup for SMU this week. The Orange haven’t given up many rushing yards to ACC opponents, featuring 139.4 rushing yards allowed per game (fifth in ACC). In that same span, they’ve allowed 11 rushing TDs, the third-most in the conference.
That’s because the Orange are giving up a lot of goal line TDs. They have allowed 6 TDs within five yards of the goal line. That’s favorable for Raphael, as 6 of his 8 rushing TDs have come from within five yards.
Add Kendrick Raphael + SMU to win to your PrizePicks lineup now.
#6 Utah vs. Cincinnati Anytime TD Scorer Prediction – 3:45 p.m. ET
Utah RB Wayshawn Parker: 0.5 Anytime TDs (Goblin)
Last week's results have significantly brightened Utah’s outlook for the season. #2 BYU suffered an upset loss to Central Florida, and #8 Texas Tech was upset by unranked Cincinnati. With Utah’s win over #14 Houston, it remains undefeated and now holds sole possession of the Big 12 lead.
The Utes are one of the country’s more balanced teams, ranking in the 89th percentile for points per game (37.4) and the 92nd percentile for points allowed per game (14.6). If they can maintain this level of dominance, they may be a dark horse contender for the national championship.
Parker is a big part of this talented offense thanks to his excellent dual-threat ability. He ranks 21st in the country in rushing yards (644), 11th in rushing TDs (8), and fifth among running backs in receiving yards (247), while tying for the FBS-lead in receiving TDs (4). That makes him the go-to guy in the red zone.
This looks like a favorable matchup against Cincinnati, which has allowed 8 rushing TDs in four conference games. Even if Parker can’t get into the end zone on the ground, he can potentially find it through the air.
Add Wayshawn Parker + Utah to win to your PrizePicks lineup now.

Oregon State vs. Fresno State Anytime TD Scorer Prediction – 11:00 p.m. ET
Oregon State WR Jesse Legree: 0.5 Anytime TDs (Goblin)
Oregon State has been one of the most fascinating teams to watch in college football. The Beavers know their identity: score as many points as possible. They are doing a great job keeping the scoreboard busy, averaging the fourth-most points per game (42.7).
It will be interesting to see how the College Football Playoff committee treats the Pac-12. This conference doesn’t have the same prestige it once did, but Oregon State could be a fun team to watch in the playoffs against some of the country’s top teams.
The Beavers have relied heavily on the passing game, with the fourth-highest passing rate in the country (59.1%). Oregon State QB Braden Atkinson has been tough to stop all season, leading the country in passing yards (2,604) and touchdowns (24).
This has greatly benefited Legree, who is putting up massive numbers. He is the only current FBS player with more than 1,000 receiving yards this season.
He could make history, as his 1,040 receiving yards are only 306 shy of tying former Middle Tennessee WR Richie James for the most receiving yards in a season by a true freshman. With four games remaining, he would need an average of 77 receiving yards per game, and Legree has yet to post fewer than 100 receiving yards this season.
Legree has also found the end zone in every game this year and leads the country with 14 receiving TDs. Fresno State looks like a tough matchup, ranking third in the conference in passing yards allowed per game (190.0) and allowing 4 passing TDs over three conference games.
However, no opponent has contained this high-octane passing attack, and Legree's explosiveness could help him make a big play and get it into the end zone yet again.
Add Jesse Legree + Oregon State to win to your PrizePicks lineup now.
