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 16
Seahawks vs. Rams 1st TD Scorer Bet Prediction:
Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR, Seahawks) is our pick for the first TD scorer bet (+850)
There are a lot of options on both teams for first touchdown, so let's take the best receivers on the home team at what look like decent odds. Smith-Njigba did not get a touchdown in the first meeting with the Rams, but he did earn an end zone target. He has 4 total touchdowns in the four games since.
Seahawks vs. Rams Anytime TD Scorer Bet Prediction:
Colby Parkinson (TE, Rams) is our pick for the anytime TD scorer bet (+230)
With Davante Adams unlikely to play on Thursday night, the Rams should lean even more heavily into their big formations. That should result in routes for Parkinson, who is tied for the league lead among qualified tight ends in target rate per route. Parkinson has found the end zone in five of his last six games, with 4 end zone targets over that span.
Commanders vs. Eagles 1st TD Scorer Bet Prediction:
Jalen Hurts (QB, Eagles) is our pick for the first TD scorer bet (+700)
Hurts enters the week with 8 rushing touchdowns, but he has not found the end zone with his legs since Week 12 against the Cowboys. He did get more involved as a runner last week, though, with 5 designed runs on a limited number of snaps in the blowout win over the Raiders.
Commanders vs. Eagles Anytime TD Scorer Bet Prediction:
Dallas Goedert (TE, Eagles) is our pick for the anytime TD scorer bet (+175)
Goedert scored 2 touchdowns last week, and it probably should have been 3. Those were his first scores since back in Week 8, but he has been a consistent factor in the scoring area. While he only has 2 end zone targets this year, he has been the target on 7 of Philly's 16 attempts in goal-to-go situations.
Bears vs. Packers 1st TD Scorer Bet Prediction:
Josh Jacobs (RB, Packers) is our pick for the first TD scorer bet (+550)
There is never any value on Jacobs as an anytime scorer, so you have to take the shot on first touchdown to get decent odds. Jacobs has scored in 10 of 13 games this season including each of his last two. If the Packers score first in this game, there is a solid chance Jacobs is the one who finds the end zone.
Bears vs. Packers Anytime TD Scorer Bet Prediction:
Matthew Golden (WR, Packers) is our pick for the anytime TD scorer bet (+425)
Assuming Christian Watson is out, the Packers could turn to Golden as their downfield threat. He led the team with 55 receiving yards after Watson left the game on Sunday. The Bears have given up a play of at least 20 yards on 14.8% of wide receiver targets this season, the worst rate in the league.
