Eagles Top 5 Anytime Touchdown Picks Super Bowl LIX

BONUS PICK: Grant Calcaterra +2700
In virtually every Super Bowl, an unsuspecting player comes out of nowhere to turn the tide. This year, we're betting on Grant Calcaterra filling that role.

The Eagles' backup tight end plays second fiddle to Dallas Goedert. Still, Calcaterra has been effective when called upon. The 26-year-old has 24 receptions on 30 targets, resulting in an above-average 80.0% catch rate. Further, he's averaging a robust 12.4 yards per reception and soaks passes in the red zone.

This is a true value play in every sense of the phrase. Calcaterra can upend the anytime touchdown scorers market in Super Bowl LIX.

Saquon Barkley -190
Chiefs vs. Eagles Odds & Predictions, Free Picks, Prop Bets Today & Injury Updates

No surprise here. The Philadelphia Eagles have ridden Saquon Barkley to within one win of a Super Bowl Championship. Nothing will change ahead of Sunday's tilt versus the Kansas City Chiefs.

Barkley has terrorized opponents all season, even more so as the Eagles get closer to securing the Lombardi Trophy. Through three playoff games, the All-Pro running back has five touchdowns and 442 rushing yards. While the Eagles were able to take their foot off the pedal early against the Washington Commanders, Barkley has otherwise maintained a healthy workload. He's accumulated 126 carries over his last five games, surpassing 25 rushing attempts in all but one of those contests.

Barkley won't face much resistance from the Chiefs' rush defense. That should allow him to cash as hefty -190 chalk in the anytime touchdown scorer market.

Spread: Eagles +1.5 | Moneyline: Chiefs -120 | Eagles +102 | Total: 48.5
DeVonta Smith +230
5 Things We Learned About the Eagles in the NFC Championship

DeVonta Smith has been the Eagles' most sure-handed receiver this season. It's time that he is rewarded for his exceptional efforts.

Smith hasn't dropped a pass since Week 17 of the regular season. Since then, he's caught all 12 targets while serving as an elite 1B option to A.J. Brown. However, Smith started his ascent before the playoffs. Across his last six games, Smith has just four drops on 39 targets for a pristine 89.7% catch rate.

As good as Smith has looked more recently, he's also been a priority in the red zone. The former first-round pick leads the Eagles in red zone targets and is tailor-made for the intermediate routes inside the 20. His price doesn't reflect his touchdown potential, making Smith one of the top values on the board.
Eagles Defense +650
Philadelphia's success this season was built on defensive efficiency. The Eagles quietly asserted themselves as the premier defense, and they'll have a chance to shine in New Orleans.

Led by All-Pro Zack Baun, the Eagles have playmakers in every level of their defense. We've seen Josh Sweat and Jalen Carter disrupt opposing offenses upfront. Baun has been a catalyst in the linebackers' corps. While C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Quinyon Mitchell have rebuilt Philadelphia's secondary.

Any one of those players, and more, can score a touchdown in Super Bowl LIX. At +650, it's worth betting the Eagles' defense pulls off a touchdown.

Jalen Hurts -115
We can't leave Jalen Hurts off our anytime touchdown list. The Eagles quarterback continually proves his worth and benefits from many generous yards and touchdowns thanks to the Brotherly Shove. He'll have more opportunities to make an impact in Super Bowl LIX.

A concussion and knee injury have limited Hurts's rushing effectiveness over the season's final few weeks. However, he'll be close to fully healthy against the Chiefs. Even with the injuries, Hurts has maintained his scoring prowess. The former Bert Bell Award winner is coming off a three-touchdown performance in the Championship Round, making it seven scores over his last seven games.

Hurts is always a candidate to score, and that's reflected in his betting price. We're expecting to see him cash in this year's Super Bowl.
