First Touchdown Scorer Predictions for Thursday Night Football Week 5
It’s a fight for a share of first place in the NFC South as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football.
Baker Mayfield has resurrected his career and has his Buccaneers off to a 3-1 start to the season.
Our first touchdown scorer predictions for Thursday Night Football looks to capitalize on Mayfield's success with one of his favorite targets this season.
On the other end, Kirk Cousins has felt the highs and lows of being the quarterback for the Falcons. Even still, his team sits at 2-2 and can claim a piece of the top spot in the division with a win on Thursday night. Who will shine for Atlanta?
We've also featured this game with our Buccaneers vs. Falcons prediction and Buccaneers vs. Falcons TNF prop bets as part of our NFL Week 5 predictions.

Falcons first touchdown scorer prediction: Drake London, WR ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +900 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 10.0%
Kirk Cousins has thrown only four touchdown passes this season, and London has caught two of them.
The third-year wideout leads the Falcons in targets (31) and receptions (20) this year. On top of that, London has drawn a team-high six red-zone targets and has secured five of them. Both of his touchdowns this season have come from inside of the 20-yard line.
Teammate Bijan Robinson is as short as +450 on bet365 and as long at +500 on BetMGM to register the first score of the game. However, Robinson has crossed the goal line just once this season.
By taking London here at +900, you stand to make $40 more in profit on a $10 bet than you would backing Robinson at +500.

Buccaneers first touchdown scorer prediction: Chris Godwin, WR ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +1000 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 9.09%
Godwin has claimed the top spot among all Tampa Bay pass catchers, leading the team in targets (34), receptions (27), and receiving yards (322).
The long-tenured Bucs wideout has scored a touchdown in all but one of his four outings this year. Against the Lions in Week 2, Godwin was the first player on either team to cross the goal line.
In Week 3, he was responsible for the first and only Tampa Bay touchdown against the Denver Broncos.
Every first touchdown scored by the Buccaneers this season has come by way of the passing game. I expect them to continue to lean on that strength heading into their prime-time matchup.
