Two of the most popular NFL bets this season are First Touchdown Scorer and Anytime Touchdown Scorer.
Every week during the NFL season, our experts will give you their prediction on which player they think will score the first TD for every game.
These prop bets can be difficult to predict, but they are a fan favorite of many NFL bettors.
What is a first touchdown scorer bet?
To win this bet, you must correctly pick the player to score the first touchdown in the game — the first player who receives a touchdown pass or crosses the goal line with the ball.
A touchdown scorer is defined as the player in possession of the ball in the end zone and not the player who throws the TD.
What is an anytime touchdown scorer bet?
To win this NFL bet, you must correctly pick a player who will score a touchdown. Similarly to first touchdown bets, the player is the one who crosses the end zone himself, not the QB who throws to that player.

First & Anytime Touchdown Scorer Predictions & Bets for Super Bowl 59
Chiefs vs. Eagles 1st TD Scorer Bet Prediction:
Jalen Hurts (QB, Eagles) is our pick for the first TD scorer bet (+650)
Hurts looked healthy in the NFC Championship game, and he has another two weeks for his knee to get back to 100%. Hurts has a rushing score in each of his last two games — he had 3 of them against the Commanders — and at least 1 rushing touchdown in 12 of 18 games this season. The Chiefs allowed the seventh-most rushing yards and the eighth-most rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks in the regular season.
Chiefs vs. Eagles Anytime TD Scorer Bet Prediction:
Dallas Goedert (TE, Eagles) is our pick for the anytime TD scorer bet (+333)
Saquon Barkley is the best bet to get a touchdown in this game, but his odds make that a cost-prohibitive bet. Goedert has been a focus for the Eagles passing game in the playoffs, commanding 29% of the team targets, and he has one of their 3 receiving scores in the postseason. The Chiefs struggled against tight ends all season, finishing dead last in yards per target allowed to the position.
Chiefs vs. Eagles Anytime TD Scorer Bet Prediction:
Kareem Hunt (RB, Chiefs) is our pick for the anytime TD scorer bet (+140)
Hunt hit for us in the AFC Championship Game, so we will go back to him again here. Hunt has been the primary backfield option in the playoffs, out-touching Isiah Pacheco 27 to 12 through two games. He has played 10 snaps to 3 for Pacheco in goal-to-go situations in those games.
