NFL first touchdown scorer player prop picks
I’ll be honest. Week 2 wasn’t great for my First Touchdown betting system. If you are new to my articles, I narrow it down to the better FTD (first touchdown) team and then find trends within that team. Since we only had one week of 2023 data in my tracker, I still used 2022’s trends to make picks for who would score the first touchdown, and the results were just okay.
The better team based on 2022’s FTD% went 6-10 in Week 2. I picked three players who scored first for their team in my official bets (follow me on X to see who I bet each week: @billzinmepocket) but only one of them was the first of the game. So, as the rapper Big Sean says, “last night took an L, but tonight I bounce back”, and that’s just what I plan to do.
Let’s see who I’m happy with and who I’m mad at right now…

Ravens RBs: As I mentioned last week, the Ravens LOVE to score first and to do it with their running backs. J.K. Dobbins’ injury proved to be a non-factor for us FTD bettors, as they moved right on to Gus Edwards. He was +1300 at DraftKings, and I took advantage. Baltimore has now scored first with an RB in 16 of their last 20 games. Ground Game Gods.
