Below are the odds for first touchdown scorers and my thoughts on potential bets for Philadelphia vs. Atlanta.

Falcons RB Bijan Robinson: Bijan Robinson +600 on DraftKings
I mocked Atlanta’s offense in my NFL Week 2 best bets column, but we’re mining for value like always. Robinson was priced near +550 to score first against Pittsburgh, a matchup that featured only one touchdown. Considering the Eagles’ star power, Robinson’s odds have been adjusted a bit too much.
Despite the hoopla surrounding Saquon Barkley’s Week 1 performance, let’s not ignore that Philadelphia yielded the second-most EPA per carry. If the Falcons’ scripted plan of attack improves, Robinson will have an opportunity to reach the end zone first behind one of the NFL’s premier run-blocking units.
Falcons WR Darnell Mooney: Darnell Mooney +2500 on DraftKings
The Eagles’ run defense wasn’t the only concern on that side of the ball. SumerSports noted that Philly surrendered the 11th-most EPA per dropback in likely passing situations. Aside from veteran cornerback Darius Slay, the secondary wasn’t immune to busted coverage.
With Slay potentially shadowing Drake London, the Falcons’ No. 1 wideout, Mooney is worth considering after his lowly debut.
But if you’re throwing pizza money on Robinson’s anytime touchdown odds, Mooney isn’t worth more than couch change.

What Are first Touchdown scorer Odds?
Like anytime touchdown odds, the first touchdown betting option has developed into one of the most popular player props across the sports betting industry.
Players are always stationed at plus-money odds. Given the exciting result for novice and hardcore pro football bettors, the hype with first TD odds isn’t surprising. Your wager will win if you bet on the first player to reach the end zone from a rushing, receiving, defensive, or special teams score. Passing touchdowns do not apply to first TD odds at NFL betting sites.
If the player you bet on gets hurt during the game, don’t anticipate a refund on first touchdown odds. Just like any other bet, risk comes into play.
