After an exciting NFL season opener on Thursday, the second game of the season belongs to the  Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs on Friday in Brazil. The Chiefs have won nine consecutive AFC West titles, while the Chargers will look to play spoiler in Jim Harbaugh's second year as head coach after a successful first campaign that ended in a playoff appearance. 

So which Chargers and Chiefs players will find the end zone in Sao Paulo? Here are the best anytime touchdown bets for this AFC West affair that you can wager at Caesars Sportsbook.

Najee Harris Anytime Touchdown (+205, Caesars)

Fantasy football managers are trying to determine whether Harris or rookie Omarion Hampton will serve as the lead running back in this offense. Hampton offers more upside and versatility, but Harris is a veteran who can be a bruising runner in short-yardage and goal-line situations. We know Jim Harbaugh wants to run the football, even with a quarterback like Justin Herbert under center. I do believe Hampton will get a majority of the snaps between the 20s, but Harris should see red-zone and goal-line touches. At this line, it's too tempting to pass up backing the veteran to find the end zone.

Travis Kelce Anytime Touchdown (+160, Caesars)

Unless you've avoided the Internet for the last few years, you know Kelce and Taylor Swift's love story. That relationship has turned into an engagement ahead of the 2025 season. Kelce looked out of sorts for much of 2024 and despite the Chiefs making the Super Bowl, there was a lot of talk about his focus being elsewhere. The veteran tight end is near the end of his career and this could be his last season, so I'm expecting him to at least start things off with some big games. He should shake off the underwhelming 2024 campaign with a touchdown to open 2025 and maybe break out a little Samba dance celebration.

Keenan Allen Anytime Touchdown (+275, Caesars)

Despite putting up 744 yards and seven touchdowns on 121 targets a year ago in Chicago, there was little interest around Allen in free agency. Yes, the veteran has dealt with some injuries again over the last few years but he is still a productive receiver who can consistently get open in the middle of the field. Allen caught 25 touchdowns from 2020-23, which accounted for 21.9% of Herbert's total touchdown passes in that span. It's a good reunion for the player and team, and I think Allen finds the endzone at some point in Week 1.
