The BoopProps: NFL Part III

First Touchdown: Quarterbacks

During the 256 regular season NFL games in 2018, a quarterback scored a touchdown himself 72 times, which averages out to just about once every three games.

In 8 postseason games so far, a QB has hit pay dirt 5 times. Therefore, we are basing the Conference Championship First Player to Score a Touchdown Props on the Four Starting Quarterbacks, with varying odds and size of bets.

Hey, if Nick Foles can score a touchdown (in two consecutive postseasons, by the way), then any of these guys can open a title game with one:

Pick: Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs ($4/+1500)
Pick: Jared Goff, Rams ($3/+6000)
Pick: Tom Brady, Patriots ($2/+8000)
Pick: Drew Brees, Saints ($1/+10000)

Remember, it’s only the first touchdown of each game that pays out, not for each team . . . And a TD Pass doesn’t count as “scoring”; it is the receiver or rusher that actual “scores“ the touchdown.
