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 among 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. Similar 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 Week 15
Steelers vs. Dolphins 1st TD Scorer Bet Prediction:
DK Metcalf (WR, Steelers) is our pick for the first TD scorer bet (+800)
Metcalf left Baltimore with his highest receiving totals of the season, snagging 7 of 12 targets for 148 yards. Week 14 was his first time leading the team in receiving since the Steelers hosted Cleveland in Week 6, but he’s still been an impact player in that window. He leads the team (ranked 26th in the league) with 23% of Pittsburgh’s targets, and he ranks eighth in the league with 41.3% of the team’s air yards. The Steelers host Miami this week, who rank 18th in yards per target allowed (8.3) and 25th in touchdown rate allowed (7.1%) to WR1 targets.
Steelers vs. Dolphins Anytime TD Scorer Bet Prediction:
Jaylen Waddle (WR, Dolphins) is our pick for the anytime TD scorer bet (+200)
Jaylen Waddle ranks No. 1 in the league with 54.5% of Miami’s air yards in the 10 weeks since Tyreek Hill’s season ended. He caught his 4th touchdown (6th of the season) in that nine-game stretch last week in the Meadowlands, 1 of 5 catches that he took for 50 yards total on the day. He’ll have another opportunity to stretch the field more in Week 15, as the Steelers defense surrenders a 21st-ranked 4.3 yards after the catch to wide receivers.
