NFL First Touchdown Scorer Picks For Monday Night Football: Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt?
To wrap up the odds for NFL Week 5, the undefeated Chiefs face the 2-2 Saints for MNF odds. Patrick Mahomes and Co. are favored by Kansas City Chiefs -4.5 (-110) on Caesars, and the total is 43.5 (-110) on DraftKings. Mahomes will be without his No. 1 wideout Rashee Rice, who’s out with an ACL injury. Below are my top first touchdown odds to consider for Chiefs vs. Saints.

chiefs rb Kareem hunt: Kareem Hunt +750 on DraftKings
While fellow running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (PUP) could return to action this week, I anticipate Hunt retaining most of the backfield touches. He took advantage of Carson Steele’s early fumble, compiling 14 carries for 69 yards (4.9 YPC) in the Chiefs’ win at the Chargers. That was equivalent to a 47% rushing success rate.
Hunt will square off against a Saints defense with significant injuries, including linebacker Demario Davis (hamstring). With Rice sidelined and Kansas City limited at wide receiver, the team could utilize a run-heavy script, particularly in the red zone.
Assuming Hunt (shoulder) is available for his full complement of touches, he’s worth a bet with some pizza money.
saints wr Rashid Shaheed: Rashid Shaheed +1600 on DraftKings
New Orleans’ deep threat has failed to score since Week 2, inflating his first touchdown odds. Additionally, Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has employed play-action passes at the third-highest rate of dropbacks across the league. That will help counter Steve Spanolo’s blitz packages and lead to plenty of opportunities for Shaheed.

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.
