Dolphins vs. Commanders first team touchdown scorer prediction: Tyreek Hill, Dolphins, WR, (+310 via FanDuel)

Tyreek Hill has found the end zone in all but two of his 11 games this season. He has been the first Dolphins player to cross the goal line in five of those games, including three of Miami’s last four outings. He is tied for second in the league with 17 red-zone targets, of which he has caught 11. Three of those resulted in touchdowns. 

Washington has allowed its opponents to score their first touchdown through the air in nine of 12 games this season. Overall, the Commanders are allowing the most passing touchdowns per game (2.3) in the league, and they have allowed at least one receiver to cross the goal line in eight games this year.

Lions vs. Saints first touchdown scorer prediction: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Lions, WR, (+600 via Caesars)

The Detroit Lions have scored the first touchdown in five games so far this season. Of those, Amon-Ra St. Brown is responsible for three of them. The young wideout has scored five touchdowns in his 2023 campaign. He has two touchdowns in his last three outings. 

The Lions have a better-than-average chance of crossing the goal line first in this game. New Orleans has found the end zone first in just three of its 11 contests this season. Saints opponents have scored the first touchdown in six straight games, and New Orleans has managed just 22 total touchdowns this year.

49ers vs. Eagles first touchdown scorer prediction: Christian McCaffrey, 49ers, RB, (+450 via ESPN BET)

San Francisco has been the first team to find the end zone in nine of its 11 games this season, and Christian McCaffrey was the first to cross the goal line in four of those outings, including two weeks ago against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The 49ers star back has scored in all but one game this year. There have been only five games in which McCaffrey did not account for either the first score of the game or San Francisco’s first touchdown.

Philadelphia has given up the first touchdown to its opponents in five games this season, including two of its last four. The Eagles are giving up the second-most passing touchdowns per game (2.1) and have surrendered 2.3 over their last three games. Two weeks ago, Partick Mahomes found Justin Watson on a 3-yard pass to put the first points on the board.
