As Super Bowl LX is upon us, the public is loving the Seattle Seahawks to score against the New England Patriots first tonight. Four of BetMGM‘s top five most bet first-touchdown scorers wear green. Let’s dive in to see why many believe these picks will also add green to their wardrobes, squarely in the pockets.
The 1st TD Lottery: JSN and the Long-Shot DefenseBetting on the first touchdown of the Super Bowl is the ultimate “I was here" wager. It’s a high-variance lottery ticket that can turn a $10 bill into a steak dinner before the second quarter starts. At BetMGM, “JSN Fever" has officially spread to the First TD market, where he sits at +550.
While the odds are juicier, the logic remains the same: Seattle is a 4.5-point favorite, and the public expects them to strike first.
First TD Scorer Public Favorites
| Player | Odds | Narrative |
| Jaxon Smith-Njigba | +550 | The NFL receiving leader is the go-to scripted play. |
| Kenneth Walker III | +375 | The shortest odds on the board for a reason. |
| Cooper Kupp | +1300 | The “forgotten man" value play for the veteran WR. |
| SEA Defense/ST | +2200 | The “chaos" bet for a Drake Maye pick-six. |
| Drake Maye | +1600 | The only Patriot in the top 5 ticket count. |
The most interesting pick here is SEA Defense at +2200. It’s a classic “hope" bet, banking on the Patriots’ offense stalling out and a special teams return or a scoop-and-score setting the tone early.
