First Touchdown Scorer Super Bowl 2022 Preview Top Choices

Quarterbacks are listed in these odds, but a passing touchdown doesn’t count. They would have to run it into the end zone themselves for it to be attributed to them.

Let’s start off with the First Touchdown Scorer current leader in this category and work our way down the list.

Cooper Kupp

Cooper Kupp is the early favorite to score the first touchdown and that makes a lot of sense.

It is pretty clear that Matthew Stafford loves throwing the football to him and he is a reliable enough target to consistently get open.

On top of all that, the Cincinnati Bengals allowed Patrick Mahomes to throw for 127 yards and three touchdowns in the first half of their AFC Championship game.

This team usually takes some time to get settled, and due to their inexperience in big games they may allow a quick touchdown to open things up.

Who better to score that first touchdown than the guy that has been walking into the end zone once a game?

Personally, I feel like Kupp will be the one to score first. I don’t believe that the Bengals will get into the end zone on their opening drive due to the nerves that they will probably be playing with.

Los Angeles will have nerves of their own, but if they touch the ball first, they can score quickly when the Bengals aren’t fully settled in.

Kupp just seems like a very obvious option especially because he always seems to find the end zone somehow.

Joe Mixon

Joe Mixon is the second here.

Mixon is the running back for the Bengals. He hasn’t had himself a very efficient postseason on the stat sheet, taking 52 rushes for 190 yards and one touchdown through three games.

However, he has been getting the ball a lot at the goal line when Cincinnati gets there.

It just so happens that the team kicks a lot of field goals and usually scores from farther out due to Joe Burrow’s dominance when throwing the football.

Mixon has broken some strong runs lately and if the Bengals march down the field early on, a run up the middle may surprise the Rams strong defensive line.

Unfortunately, that defensive line is ridiculously talented, making this a lot harder. Anytime you have Aaron Donald and Von Miller in the same area, it’s tough to run the football.

Cam Akers

Then we have Cam Akers in third. This is a tough one to trust.

Akers may be listed pretty highly but that is only because he is the Rams starting running back.

Running backs usually get goal line carries if the team goes down the field to score a touchdown on any drive.

Akers made his return from a devastating offseason injury just before the playoffs began.

He took 17 carries for 55 yards in the game against the Arizona Cardinals. Then he followed it up with 24 rushes for 48 yards and two crucial fumbles against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Thankfully, he bounced back with 13 carries for 48 yards against the San Franciso 49ers.

In total, he has 151 yards on 54 carries and has yet to get himself into the end zone.

Ja’Marr Chase

Moving on is Ja’Marr Chase at number four. It’s hard to not talk about Ja’Marr Chase and touchdowns.

The rookie phenom wide receiver has been flying all over the field.

He had scored 14 total touchdowns throughout the regular season but has been held to just one throughout the playoffs.

Much of that is because their opponents are usually double and even triple teaming him down the field.

The reason Chase has a good chance of scoring first is because the Rams are going to tag Jalen Ramsey on him.

While that may sound like a bad thing, it will mean that Chase can get one-on-one matchups with Ramsey on one side of the football field.

Ramsey doesn't make mistakes often, but Chase may wind up surprising him with his quickness on the opening drive and possibly breaking free for a quick strike touchdown.

After that though, it will be tough sledding. Luckily, this prop bet only cares about that first touchdown.

Odell Beckham

Finally, we come to Odell Beckham here on the odds list for the first touchdown scorer.

Beckham has been steadily improving with the Rams every single week that he has been there.

His first playoff game saw him grab four catches for 54 yards and a touchdown. Then he followed it up with six receptions for 69 yards. Then against the 49ers he had nine catches for 113 yards.

His only postseason touchdown came against the Cardinals, but Odell has been increasingly effective.

His production makes that very clear to fans. Plus, Stafford has started to trust him a lot more in this offense.

I would imagine that a ton of Cincinnati defenders will be following Kupp closely, potentially leaving Beckham in single coverage at points throughout the first drive.

We can also point to the same things we did earlier when talking about Kupp.

Cincinnati didn't cover Tyreek Hill well at all to open the game, but locked him down in the second half.
