Super Bowl 58 First Touchdown Scorer Odds & 1st TD Scorers from All Super Bowls

Betting on the first touchdown scorer of an NFL game has become a pretty popular prop. It allows bettors to get that lottery ticket payout without having to tie six or seven legs together in a parlay. Betting the first touchdown scorer also provides that instant gratification so many younger bettors are after. It’s a simple bet—just pick the player who will score the game’s first touchdown. But as football fans know, it’s not an easy bet to win with so many different potential players who could score.

Every single Super Bowl has seen at least one touchdown scored and the Super Bowl odds suggest we’ll see plenty of touchdowns in 2024’s big game. If you’re looking to bet which player will score the first TD, you’ll find useful data below to help you make you wager, including: the first TD scorer odds for Super Bowl 58, which players have scored the first TDs for and against the 49ers and Chiefs this season, and the first touchdown scorers from each Super Bowl.

Odds to Score the First TD in Super Bowl 58

The odds above are from DraftKings, FanDuel, and BetMGM. If you aren’t already signed up with any of them, be sure to check out the best Super Bowl betting promos available.

Christian McCaffrey has the best odds to score Super Bowl 58’s first touchdown. CMC is given as short as +340 odds to find the endzone first, but as long as +400. If you bet $20 on McCaffrey to score the first TD at +400 with DraftKings, your potential profit would be $80 and your return would be $100. After McCaffrey, we have Isiah Pacheco, the Chiefs running back, with the second-best odds to score the first TD. Pacheco is getting +650 odds, meaning a $20 bet on him could win you $130 and return $150.

San Francisco has scored the first touchdown of the game in 14 of their 19 games this season, which only includes one of their two playoff games. The 49ers are 12-2 when they score the game’s first touchdown versus 2-3 when their opponent scores the game’s first touchdown.

Here’s a quick look at the trends we have seen from the players who have scored the first touchdown in 49ers’ games this season:

• Christian McCaffrey has scored San Francisco’s first touchdown in eight of 19 games this season, but only four of them were the game’s first touchdown as well. CMC has not scored the game’s first touchdown since Week 11.
• Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel have scored the 49ers’ first touchdown in three games each, which is tied for second-most on the team. All of Aiyuk’s first TDs were also the first touchdown of the game, while two of Deebo’s were the first of the game as well.
• George Kittle is the only other 49er with multiple games scoring the team’s first touchdown, as the tight end has accomplished this feat twice. Ronnie Bell, Jordan Mason, and Elijah Mitchell (in Week 18 when CMC didn’t play) account for the other three.
• Wide receivers have been the position to score the first touchdown against San Francisco most often with it happening in ten of 19 games, and account for three of the five occasions where the 49ers’ opponent scored the first touchdown of the game.
• The other two times where San Francisco’s opponent scored the game’s first touchdown were done so by running backs. RBs scored the first touchdown against the 49ers in five games this season.
• A wide receiver has scored the first TD against San Francisco in each of their last four games.

The Chiefs have scored the first touchdown in 14 of their 20 games this season. Kansas City is 12-2 when they score the game’s first TD versus 2-4 when their opponent scores the first touchdown. They have also scored the game’s first touchdown in six of their last seven games.

Here is a quick look at some of the trends we have seen from the players who have scored the first touchdown, whether it be for or against, in Chiefs’ games this season:

• Isiah Pacheco has scored the Chiefs’ first touchdown in six of their 20 games this season, with four of those also accounting for the game’s first TD
• Rashee Rice has the second-most games scoring Kansas City’s first TD with four, where three of those were the game’s first touchdown.
• Travis Kelce did not score Kansas City’s first touchdown in any game of the regular season, but has now done so in each of their last two playoff games.
• Wide receivers have scored KC’s opponent’s first touchdown in eight of 20 games this season, including two of the last three games.
• Running backs have scored KC’s opponent’s first touchdown in five games this season, but it has not happened since Week 17.
• Tight ends have scored KC’s opponent’s first TD in three games this season, but it has not happened since Week 15.

Historical Super Bowl First TD Scorers

Max McGee, a wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers, scored the first ever touchdown in Super Bowl 1. McGee scored on a 37-yard pass from Bart Starr.

Jalen Hurts opened the scoring in Super Bowl 57, pushing across the goal line on a QB sneak on the first drive of the game. It didn’t come without a little controversy, though, as Kenneth Gainwell was believed to have scored the first TD on the previous play, but replay showed he came up inches short. The last ten Super Bowls have seen three wide receivers open the scoring, three running backs, two quarterbacks, one tight end, and one defensive player.

Here are some more Super Bowl first TD scorer trends you should know before betting:

• Wide receivers have scored the first touchdown in 23 of 58 Super Bowls, the most of any position group
• Running backs are the second-most common first touchdown scorer in Super Bowls, accounting for 17 first TDs in Super Bowls
• A defensive player has scored the first touchdown in two Super Bowls—Malik Jackson for the Broncos in Super Bowl 50 and Ty Law for the Patriots in Super Bowl 36
• A special teams player has scored the first touchdown in three Super Bowls—Devin Hester for the Bears in Super Bowl 41, Stanford Jennings for the Bengals in Super Bowl 23, and Derrick Jensen for the Rams in Super Bowl 18
• The team who scores the first touchdown in the Super Bowl has gone on to win 41 of the 58 Super Bowls, which includes 11 of the last 14
• We have not seen the same position score the first touchdown in back-to-back Super Bowls since 46 and 47 when wide receivers (Victor Cruz and Anquan Boldin) did it in back-to-back years
