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 17
Falcons vs. Rams 1st TD Scorer Bet Prediction:
Blake Corum (RB, Rams) is our pick for the first TD scorer bet (+950)
Corum accumulated the most touches he’s seen in a single game all season in Seattle last week, taking 14 carries and a single reception for 61 yards. He also found the end zone for the fifth time in the last four games on a goal-line carry that rounded out the third quarter. On the year, Corum has ranked third in the league in runs out of man/gap (40.5%), while the Falcons are allowing a 32nd-ranked 5.7 yards per carry to man concept runs.
Falcons vs. Rams Anytime TD Scorer Bet Prediction:
Konata Mumpfield (WR, Rams) is our pick for the anytime TD scorer bet (+290)
With Davante Adams sidelined, Konata Mumpfield has been the most recent beneficiary of Matthew Stafford’s passing success. Mumpfield was targeted eight times on Sunday (ranked second on the team in Week 16 behind only Puka Nacua), with targets on 50% of his routes in the red zone (tied with tight end Davis Allen for the team lead). Davante Adams was held out of practice on Friday with a lingering hamstring injury, and he is unlikely to suit up this week, meaning the door could be open for another high-volume day for Mumpfield on Monday.
