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 are a fan favorite for many NFL bettors.
Sharp Football Analysis has every angle of Chiefs vs. 49ers covered in our Super Bowl 58 Hub.
What is a first touchdown scorer bet?
To win this bet, you must correctly pick the first 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 1st Touchdown bets, the player is the one who crosses the end zone himself, not the QB who throws to that player.

Chiefs vs 49ers 1st TD Scorer Bet Prediction, Super Bowl 58:
Deebo Samuel (WR, 49ers) is our pick for the 1st TD Scorer bet in Super Bowl 58 (+900)
Samuel’s usage has increased later in the season, and he is capable of scoring touchdowns either through the air or on the ground. Samuel scored 12 touchdowns this season, seven receiving and five rushing, and heated up down the stretch scoring nine times in the final seven games. Samuel should avoid coverage from L’Jarius Sneed and can benefit from red zone touches on the ground.
Chiefs vs 49ers Anytime TD Scorer Bet Prediction, Super Bowl 58:
Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, Chiefs) is our pick for the anytime TD Scorer bet in Super Bowl 58 (+550)
Valdes-Scantling caught the game-securing pass last week and remains on the field for most Patrick Mahomes dropbacks.
