Only two players scored touchdowns for the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1 during their overtime loss to the Detroit Lions, but we could see more points this weekend when the team visits the Arizona Cardinals. With that in mind, it’s a good week to bet on touchdown scorers in Sunday’s NFC West matchup.
Using odds from BetMGM, we’ve got three different touchdown scorer bets to consider. Puka Nacua’s absence shortens the odds for just about everyone, especially Cooper Kupp (-125), but there’s still value to be had in Week 2, particularly with two of the team’s other primary pass catchers.
Here are our three favorite touchdown props for the Rams in their second game of the season.
Kyren Williams to score 2+ touchdowns (+400)
In two games against the Cardinals last season, Williams scored three total touchdowns and had 362 yards from scrimmage. He dominated the Rams’ division rival, scoring one touchdown in Week 6 and two in Week 12.
Betting him for one touchdown comes in at -160, a heavily juiced line, but for a guy who scored multiple touchdowns in five of his 12 games played last season, he’s a good bet to find the end zone twice against a team he owned in 2023.
Demarcus Robinson (+210)
Robinson will move into the Rams’ WR2 role with Puka Nacua out, which caused his touchdown odds to be cut in half from last week. Even at +210, he’s someone worth taking in Week 2.
He had the highest average air yards per target of any Rams receiver last week, which means he’s expected to be their big-play guy on the outside. He was also targeted once in the end zone on what would’ve been a touchdown if not for the defender being called for pass interference.
Colby Parkinson (+350)
In his Rams debut, tied his career high with 47 yards receiving and nearly matched a career high with four catches (his best is five receptions). He went from being buried on the Seahawks’ depth chart to being an integral part of Los Angeles’ offense.
His size could be a problem for the Cardinals’ defensive backs and linebackers in the red zone, making him a weapon for Matthew Stafford inside the 20. His odds are on the longer side but Parkinson plays a ton and has the size you want in a red zone target.
