To wrap up the odds for NFL Week 5, the 3-2 Buffalo Bills take on the 2-3 New York Jets at MetLife Stadium for MNF odds. Josh Allen and Co. are favored by Buffalo Bills -1 (-113) on BetRivers, and the total is 42.5 (-110) on DraftKings. How will New York respond after firing head coach Robert Saleh? Below are my top first touchdown odds for the Jets vs. Bills game.

Monday night football First Touchdown Scorer Odds

jets rb breece hall: Breece Hall +500 on FanDuel

Each team has dropped consecutive games, so deciphering which will start fast is a tall task. But after beginning the season with high expectations, the Jets have plenty of motivation to control the script from the opening kick-off.

Under new play-caller Todd Downing, who takes over for the oft-maligned Nathaniel Hackett, I expect New York will prioritize Hall and its rushing attack against a defense allowing the 11th-most EPA per touch. Even with an improved offensive line, the Jets have generated the fifth-highest Pass Rate Over Expected (PROE). If Downing hopes to take pressure off Aaron Rodgers, literally and figuratively, Hall could be the early beneficiary.

Unlike New York, Buffalo doesn’t have question marks across its coaching staff. However, a handful of the starting personnel, including running back James Cook (foot/toe), is banged up. Given that Allen’s legs may play a larger role in the red zone, he’s worth considering against the Jets’ inconsistent defense. New York has yielded the eighth-highest rushing success rate.

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 gets hurt during the game, don’t anticipate a refund on first touchdown odds. Just like any other bet, risk comes into play.
