First touchdown odds

Among the odds for NFL Week 1, the Monday Night Football matchup between the 49ers and Jets provides arguably the most enticing set. The defending NFC champions are San Francisco 49ers -3.5 (-105) on Caesars favorites against two-time MVP Aaron Rodgers, and the total is lined at 43.5 (-110) on Bet365. Below are the odds for first touchdown scorers and my thoughts on potential bets for San Francisco vs. New York.

The first TD odds below are the best available in your state. Jets vs. 49ers anytime touchdown odds are also available.

Jets RB Breece Hall: Breece Hall +650 on BetMGM

In 2023, the Jets were tied with the Panthers and Giants for the fewest first-touchdown scorers in the league. They generated one in just four of their 17 games (23.7%). That isn’t shocking, considering their offense ranked dead last in EPA per play.

Nevertheless, New York can flip the script with a seemingly healthy Rodgers. Hall should also find success behind a revamped offensive line, featuring left tackle Tyron Smith, left guard John SimpsonMorgan Moses, and No. 11 overall pick Olu Fashanu.

Last season, the 49ers’ run defense ranked in the bottom 10 of EPA per carry and success rate allowed. They may struggle even more after losing defensive end Arik Armstead (Jaguars) and linebacker Dre Greenlaw (ruptured Achilles tendon).

Additionally, some of Hall’s opportunities could come in the red zone, especially if New York operates at a slower tempo to shorten the clock. Thus, Hall possesses some intriguing first-touchdown odds — with a week’s worth of pizza money.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson: Garrett Wilson +1000 on DraftKings

Like Hall, Wilson should greatly benefit from Rodgers’ return under center. After the four-time league MVP tore his ACL in last year’s season opener, New York rotated between the lowly Zach WilsonTrevor SiemienTim Boyle, and Brett Rypien.

While we haven’t seen the Rodgers-to-Wilson connection in a meaningful contest, the Jets’ No. 1 wideout is due for some TD regression. Wilson owns just seven touchdowns in his first two seasons.

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.
