First Touchdown Scorer 49ers vs Jets Week 1

Best First Touchdown Scorer Odds: Christian McCaffrey First Touchdown Scorer (+360)

Christian McCaffrey has been one of, if not the best running back in the NFL since he stepped foot on an NFL field. He is the focal point of this San Francisco 49ers offense and they run the offense through him.

  • In 2023, McCaffrey while having some nagging injuries still finished the season with 1,459 yards and 14 touchdowns.
  • McCaffrey led the NFL with those 1,459 yards and was 4th in the league with 14 touchdowns.

He doesn't have any competition behind him that will take away meaningful touches, especially in the red zone where the 49ers love to feed him the ball.

As long as the 49ers are efficient in this game and get into the red zone McCaffrey will get his opportunities to punch it in and get that first touchdown.

First Touchdown Scorer Steelers vs Falcons Week 1

Best First Touchdown Scorer Odds: Bijan Robinson First Touchdown Scorer (+500)

Bijan Robinson didn't break out like many believed he would in his rookie season. He was in a stagnant offense with horrible quarterback play but now with new head coach Raheem Morris and viable quarterback Kirk Cousins, Robinson has the opportunity to have that break out season in 2024.

  • Bijan Robinson finished the season with 976 yards and 4 rushing touchdowns.
  • He had another 487 yards through the air with 4 reception touchdowns.

There is a ton of high expectations for this Falcons team as a whole this season with Bijan Robinson as the main guy to ignite this offense.

Now, with having a competent quarterback at the helm with Cousins, defenses can't stack the box like they did last season giving Robinson more running room up front.

Just like last season, Robinson will get all of the goaline work and when the Falcons get into the red zone they are going to feed Robinson the ball to cross over the goaline to be the first touchdown scorer in this game.

First Touchdown Scorer Bills vs Cardinals Week 1

Best First Touchdown Scorer Odds: Josh Allen First Touchdown Scorer (+500)

The Buffalo Bills come into this season with a different look on offense after losing their two top wideouts Stefan Diggs and Gabe Davis to free agency. Much like the second half of the season, we should see more rushing under offensive coordinator Joe Brady.

They will not be running your typical plays to get the ball in the end zone when you have a versatile quarterback like Josh Allen who can run and throw the ball.

  • Josh Allen had 111 rushing attempts for 524 yards and 15 touchdowns which was top 3 in the league.

Instead of running a traditional running play with James Cook in the backfield, they will turn to Allen's big build on the goaline to punch it through and get the touchdown.

We will see more of the same in Week 1 once they get it to the red zone expect Allen to punch it in for the Bills first touchdown of the game.
