Sunday Night Football First Touchdown Scorer Prop Bets: Titans vs. Chiefs (Week 9)
Tennessee Titans First TD Scorer: Derrick Henry (RB) +200
Most weeks, Henry is the Tennessee offense. The superstar running back has scored the team's first touchdown of the game twice this season, including last week. Furthermore, he has found the end zone in 71.4% of the games this season, including five of the past six contests. More importantly, Henry has accounted for half of the Titans' offensive scores and 55.9% of their touches this season. Last week Ryan Tannehill missed the matchup against the Houston Texans because of an ankle injury. He is a game-time call for tonight’s game. Whether or not the veteran quarterback starts, Henry will be the focal point of the Titans’ offense.
Kansas City Chiefs First TD Scorer: Travis Kelce (TE) +320
While the veteran tight end has a slightly down 2021 season by his standards, Kelce has been unstoppable this year. He has seven receiving touchdowns this season, the most in the NFL. Furthermore, Kelce has scored at least one touchdown in 57.1% of the games, including a four-touchdown performance a few weeks ago. More importantly, the superstar tight end has scored the first touchdown for the Chiefs in over half the games this season, including three of the past five contests. Meanwhile, the Titans have surrendered four touchdowns to tight ends this season, the sixth-most in the NFL. At over 3-1 odds, Kelce to score the first Kansas City touchdown is an excellent value.
