49ers vs. jets: First Touchdown Odds

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:

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 Simpson, Morgan 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:

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 Wilson, Trevor Siemien, Tim 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?

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.

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.
