Will the New England Patriots' first scoring play of the Super Bowl on Sunday be
a passing touchdown? A field goal? Something else? That's the subject of yet
another NFL prop betting opportunity on the Super Bowl odds for this weekend at
Bovada. Super Bowl XLVI: Claim Your $100 Free Bet! Join Now.
A passing touchdown is currently the 11/10 favorite on the
prop bet asking what the Patriots' first scoring play of the Super Bowl will be
– and with weapons like Wes Welker, Aaron
Hernandez, and Rob Gronkowski at Tom
Brady's disposal you can see why it would be a popular choice for
Sunday.
A rushing touchdown is set at 13/4 odds, with a defensive or
special teams touchdown at 9/1 odds. A run-of-the-mill field goal sits at 8/5
odds to be the Patriots' first scoring play of the game, while the more exotic
safety is at 40/1 odds. The Patriots not recording a single scoring play against
the Giants in the Super Bowl on Sunday sits at 40/1 as well.
You can
also get -180 odds that New England's first score of the game will be a
touchdown in a matchup with 'field goal or safety', which is the +150 underdog
on that prop wager.
In the AFC Championship Game against the Ravens two
weekends ago the Patriots first got on the board with a 29-yard field goal by
Stephen Gostkowski. The Pats also started out with a field goal
in their game against the Giants during the regular season, a 32-yarder off the
foot of Gostkowski that didn't come until the third quarter of that 24-20 home
loss.
Back in Super Bowl XLII the Patriots' first scoring play was a run
by Laurence Maroney.
And if you want some immediate
action on Sunday, you can also wager on what the Patriots will do first – score
or punt. Currently the 'punt' option is the -130 favorite on that Super Bowl prop, with 'score' set as an EVEN-odds
underdog.
