Two of the most popular NFL bets this season are First Touchdown Scorer <\/strong>and Anytime Touchdown Scorer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every week during the NFL season, our experts will give you their prediction on which player they think will score the first TD for every game.<\/p>\n

These prop bets can be difficult to predict, but they are a fan favorite among many NFL bettors.<\/p>\n

What is a first touchdown scorer bet?<\/h3>\n

To win this bet, you must correctly pick the player to score the first touchdown in the game<\/strong> — the first player who receives a touchdown pass or crosses the goal line with the ball.<\/p>\n

A touchdown scorer is defined as the player in possession of the ball in the end zone and not the player who throws the TD.<\/p>\n

What is an anytime touchdown scorer bet?<\/h3>\n

To win this NFL bet, you must correctly pick a player who will score a touchdown<\/strong>. Similar to first touchdown bets, the player is the one who crosses the end zone himself, not the QB who throws to that player.<\/p>\n\t

First & Anytime Touchdown Scorer Predictions & Bets for Super Bowl 60<\/h2>\n

Patriots vs. Seahawks 1st TD Scorer Bet Prediction: Super Bowl 60<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drake Maye<\/b><\/span> (QB, Patriots) is our pick for the first TD scorer bet (+1500)<\/p>\n

The Seahawks defense has been one of the league\u2019s strongest run-stopping units this season, ranking No. 1 in total defensive EPA (77.45) and defensive success rate (65.2%) against the run. Quarterbacks, however, have been their kryptonite. Against QB rushers, those ranks drop to 11th in success rate (50.0%) and 25th in defensive EPA (-2.27). Of the 9 rushing scores Seattle has allowed this season, 3 have come from quarterbacks (Bryce Young<\/strong>, Cam Ward<\/strong>, and Jayden Daniels<\/strong>). Maye enters this contest with 5 rushing touchdowns under his belt, including a six-yard run up the gut for New England\u2019s only end-zone trip in the AFC Championship game. He finished the regular season ranked fourth among quarterbacks with 450 rushing yards, and he leads the league with 141 in the playoffs. <\/span><\/p>\n

Patriots vs. Seahawks Anytime TD Scorer Bet Prediction: Super Bowl 60<\/strong><\/p>\n

George Holani<\/b><\/span> (RB, Seahawks) is our pick for the anytime TD scorer bet (+475)<\/p>\n

Holani stepped in to pick up the slack left by Zach Charbonnet<\/strong> in last week\u2019s NFC Championship game. He took 6 total touches (his most since Week 10) for 31 yards, including a 13-yard catch and run that set Seattle up for their second touchdown of the day. Charbonnet\u2019s long-term absence sets Holani up to take on that duel-threat role once again in Super Bowl 60. Kenneth Walker III<\/strong> is expected to handle the majority of the rushing burden, as just two Seahawks players saw more total touches in last week\u2019s win over the Rams.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bet it now +475<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Patriots vs. Seahawks Anytime TD Scorer Bet Prediction: Super Bowl 60<\/strong><\/p>\n

TreVeyon Henderson<\/b><\/span> (RB, Patriots) is our pick for the anytime TD scorer bet (+550)<\/p>\n

Henderson saw his smallest share of touches since Week 7 in the AFC Championship Game, taking his 3 carries for just 5 yards. This does make sense given the matchup, as New England found themselves in the red zone just twice last week (with the first trip only made possible by a Jarrett Stidham<\/strong> fumble). His performance last week was a far cry from his strong finish to the regular season, as he led New England with 628 yards and 8 touchdowns in the final eight weeks. Seattle\u2019s prowess against the run could force Mike Vrabel<\/strong> to lean back into the tandem backfield he's spent the last six months developing. Of the 9 rushing scores the Seahawks have allowed this season, 4 of them came from Henderson\u2019s wheelhouse: the one-yard line. <\/span><\/p>\n

Patriots vs. Seahawks LONGSHOT 1st TD Scorer Bet Prediction: Super Bowl 60<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kayshon Boutte<\/b><\/span> (WR, Patriots) is our longshot pick for the first TD scorer bet (+1800)<\/p>\n

Boutte will have his work cut out for him against a Seattle defense that ranks No. 1 in yards per reception and completion rate allowed to outside receivers (where Boutte lines up on 90% of his routes). It\u2019s a tall order, but New England\u2019s rising star wideout could be the man for the job. Boutte has been one of the league\u2019s most consistent deep ball receivers this season, with 30.3% of his receptions going for 20 or more yards. He\u2019s also matched up well against similar defenses in this playoff alone. He combined for 81 yards and a touchdown on just 4 total catches against Houston and Denver (both defenses rank in the top six in yards per attempt allowed and top 10 in completion rate allowed). Boutte has pulled in 7 touchdown receptions in this 2025-26 season, including the 32-yard bomb that closed out New England\u2019s 28-16 win over the Texans in the Wild Card Round. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bet it now +1800<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Patriots vs. Seahawks LONGSHOT Anytime TD Scorer Bet Prediction: Super Bowl 60<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jake Bobo<\/b><\/span> (WR, Seahawks) is our longshot pick for the anytime TD scorer bet (+950)<\/p>\n

Bobo came down with his fourth reception of the season in the NFC Championship Game on a 17-yard strike from Sam Darnold<\/strong>, landing in the end zone for his first touchdown in over a calendar year. Both of Bobo\u2019s targets in Sunday\u2019s win over the Rams came inside the red zone, accounting for 28.5% of Seattle\u2019s passing attack inside the 20 on the day. The third-year wideout has made the most of the minimal targets he has seen this season, and his uptick in usage (however minimal) in the playoffs bodes well for his volume against this crowded New England secondary.<\/span><\/p>\n
