First Touchdown Scorer Betting

When it comes to North American sports betting trends, no other sport generates as much interest or action as NFL football.

According to the American Gaming Association (AGA), an estimated 67.8 million Americans wagered on last year’s Super Bowl, an increase of 17.8 million from 2023.

Many new sports bettors have been actively playing fantasy and daily fantasy sports for several years.

Those with a lot of knowledge about NFL fantasy football can use that knowledge for NFL player prop betting.

The two most popular NFL player prop bets are currently:

  • Player to score the first touchdown
  • Player to score anytime touchdown

Bettors love the opportunity to bet on individual players and whether they will or will not find the endzone during their next game, especially who will score the first touchdown.

Below, we walk you through the intricacies of NFL prop betting by focusing on the two most popular NFL player prop bets.

NFL Anytime TD Scorer vs First TD Scorer

We have established that two of the most popular NFL player prop bets are the Anytime Touchdown Scorer and the First Touchdown Scorer.

Although these two wagers are closely related, they are also very different.

When we are talking about an ATD wager, a bettor can bet on a player who will score a touchdown at any point in the game.

It’s just that simple.

If there is any confusion for this straightforward wager, sometimes bettors need clarification about quarterbacks and whether they are given credit for throwing a touchdown pass.

The answer to that question is No.

Anytime TD scorer and First TD scorer refer to selecting a player with possession of the ball crossing the goal line.

Although touchdown passes can help a QB pad their personal stats, it won’t cash either of these bets.

The First TD scorer bet is a more difficult wager to win, and the odds are reflected accordingly.

In this case, a bettor needs to pick the player who will score the very first touchdown of the game.

PlayerAnytime Touchdown ScorerFirst Touchdown Scorer
Travis Kelce-140 odds+650 odds
CeeDee Lamb-105 odds+700 odds

Our table above indicates the difference in odds for betting an Anytime TD scorer vs. the First TD scorer.

Travis Kelce and CeeDee Lamb are slight favorites to score a touchdown at some point in their game.

However, their odds are boosted significantly to be the first TD scorer of their respective games.

How First Touchdown Scorer Standings Work

BestOdds is once again your destination for anything related to NFL First Touchdown prop betting.

We will update a first touchdown scorer list for all games played each week.

You can also search by an individual player to find valuable data to help you with your prop bets.

Using First Touchdown Scorer Standing For Betting

The data that BestOdds.com tracks each week is crucial if you like to bet First Touchdown scorer prop bets.

You can quickly look at each game played and get the exact first touchdown scorer for each contest.

This information will allow you to evaluate individual teams and players to spot developing trends.

At the same time, you can research how often a team gives up the first touchdown and how they allowed those touchdowns to be scored.

Was it a running back punching it across the goal line or a wide receiver hauling in a long catch and run?

This information is a significant first step in your research.

Of course, we always encourage using other resources as well.

  • What are the weather conditions?
  • What are the key injuries for each team?
  • Does one team have a weak spot on their defense that could be exploited?

The more information you can arm yourself with, the better decision-making process you will have for all your NFL player prop bets.

How to Make First Touchdown Scorer Predicitons

As a bettor, instead of evaluating a team over a full game, you will want to focus on their tendencies and strategies in the first quarter.

Some teams like to come out and establish the run.

Some teams like to take chances early and throw a couple of deep balls to catch a defense unprepared.

Understanding coaching tendencies and developing a strategy for how you think a game will play out over the first quarter is key for this bet.

Often the Over/Under (total) set for a game can be a telling sign.

How Anytime Touchdown Scorer Standing Works

Like our First Touchdown scorer standings, if you are into Anytime Touchdown NFL prop betting, BestOdds.com needs to be your weekly destination.

Once again BestOdds will be tracking the touchdown scorers for every NFL game played this year.

Not only will you be able to search for a specific game to find the results you need, but you can also search by an individual player.

Using Anytime Touchdown Scorer Standing For Betting

Let’s use Cooper Kupp and his 2023 season as an example.

Kupp played in 12 games and scored 5 touchdowns, so obviously, quick math tells us Kupp averaged almost a touchdown per 2 games played.

However, a deeper dive into his per-game stats tells us that Kupp had no multiple-touchdown games that year and scored in 5 of 12 regular season games, which arguably helps more than if he had scored all 5 in one game.

How to Make Anytime Touchdown Scorer Predicitons

League-wide, there will be more passing touchdowns compared to rushing touchdowns.

However, that doesn’t mean every team will throw for more touchdowns than they rush for.

2023 Team Touchdowns Scored

TeamsRushing TouchdownsPassing Touchdowns
Tampa Bay Buccaneers828
Tennessee Titans1614

A bettor has to have a very good understanding of how a team’s offense is structured.

Patrick Mahomes and his Chiefs will throw for a lot of yards and a lot of touchdowns.

Derrick Henry and the Tennessee Titans will probably score a lot of rushing touchdowns.

If we understand how a team prefers to attack, we are in a better spot.

We must also understand how teams perform on defense and whether they can be exploited at a particular position.

Before You Bet on Derrick Henry

If you aren’t shopping around for your Best Odds when placing bets on the NFL, such as Derrick Henry player props, you are leaving money on the table.

A bettor’s biggest advantage over a sportsbook is their ability to shop around and bet the odds that generate the most profit when a bet hits.

The odds discrepancies can be significant regarding NFL player prop bets, especially the First TD scorer.

If you can find a player at +950 to score first, as opposed to +600, those odds advantages greatly impact your overall bankroll and profit totals over time.
