Super Bowl 57: Anytime Touchdown Scorer Prop Bets, Odds & Predictions
It's NFL playoff season, which means that Super Bowl 57 is just around the corner. And sports betting sites are gearing up for the busiest period in the North American sports calendar by preparing to offer more Super Bowl prop bets than ever before. That list includes anytime touchdown scorers – one of the most popular types of prop bet among NFL fans.
Mapping out your NFL championship betting plan can be daunting.
Imagine all of the questions you might be asking yourself in the days leading up to that final kickoff of the season. What are the latest Super Bowl odds? Which Super Bowl picks can I trust? What are the best Super Bowl betting sites?
Fortunately, we're here to help with all of that – and this particular guide will take you through some of the most important things to know about Super Bowl touchdown scorer bets (available at all of the best sportsbooks in North America).
Anytime Touchdown Scorer Props
The best thing about Super Bowl anytime touchdown scorer prop bets is that they're remarkably easy to track. If the player you bet on finds the end zone, you win – and if he doesn't, you lose.
One important thing to consider: Quarterbacks are given credit for a successful anytime touchdown scorer bet only if they enter the end zone themselves with the football. Passing TDs do not count for the player throwing the ball in this market.
Here's a look at the top 10 anytime touchdown odds from Super Bowl 56, where the Los Angeles Rams edged the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 (checkmark indicates a successful bet):
*Kupp and Higgins scored two touchdowns each
Fortunately for anyone who wagered on Kupp, Beckham or Higgins to score a touchdown, all three took care of business in the first half – leaving successful bettors to enjoy the rest of the game without a sweat.
And in case you were wondering whether there is a positional edge in terms of anytime touchdown scorers, here's a position-by-position breakdown of every touchdown scored in the previous 10 Super Bowls:
First Touchdown Scorer Props
A first touchdown scorer prop bet is much more restrictive than an anytime touchdown scorer bet, for obvious reasons:
Here's a look at the previous 10 Super Bowl first touchdown scorers:
- Super Bowl 56: WR Odell Beckham Jr., Los Angeles Rams
- Super Bowl 55: TE Rob Gronkowski, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Super Bowl 54: QB Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
- Super Bowl 53: RB Sony Michel, New England Patriots
- Super Bowl 52: WR Alshon Jeffery, Philadelphia Eagles
- Super Bowl 51: RB Devonta Freeman, Atlanta Falcons
- Super Bowl 50: DT Malik Jackson, Denver Broncos
- Super Bowl 49: WR Brandon LaFell, New England Patriots
- Super Bowl 48: RB Marshawn Lynch, Seattle Seahawks
- Super Bowl 47: WR Anquan Boldin, Baltimore Ravens
While it's not predictive by any means, it's interesting that a different position has recorded the first touchdown in each of the last four Super Bowls.
Longest Touchdown Prop Bets
Making a longest touchdown prop bet is a 50-50 proposition: The sportsbook posts a yardage number, and you can bet that the longest TD will come in higher or lower than that number.
Bear in mind that all touchdowns count toward the longest TD prop market – even special teams (kick or punt return) touchdowns and defensive (fumble or interception return) scores.
Here's a breakdown of the longest touchdowns from the last 10 Super Bowls:
Good luck handicapping this one. Over just the past 10 Super Bowls alone, we've seen a range of 106 yards (!) between longest scores, with a two-yard score representing the longest TD in two different Super Bowls over that span.
