New York Giants vs. Las Vegas Raiders first touchdown scorer prediction: Davante Adams (Raiders, WR) (+800 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Las Vegas Raiders wideout Davante Adams was visibly frustrated last week as he and his team lost to the Detroit Lions. He ended the night catching only one of his seven targets for just 11 yards in what became another of a long string of disappointing stat lines for Adams this season. To add to his frustration, Adams has only found the endzone only three times this season. Two of those touchdowns came in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The bright side here is that in both of the games in which he scored, he scored the first touchdown of the game. The Raiders have made many changes this week, including naming Aidan O’Connell their starting quarterback. It is safe to reason that getting their star wide receiver involved early will be a point of emphasis. Another encouraging sign for this prop is that the wide receiver position is responsible for all but one of the Raiders’ first touchdowns this season.
One last thing to consider is the New York Giant’s inability to stop teams from scoring first. The Giants have surrendered the first touchdown of the game to their opponents in all but one of their eight contests this year.

Vikings vs. Falcons first touchdown scorer prediction: Jordan Addison (Vikings, WR) (+1400 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Surprisingly, the Minnesota Vikings have only one rushing touchdown this season. Up until last week, the scoring was mainly up to the wide receiver corps and, more specifically, up to former USC wideout Jordan Addison. The rookie has seven touchdowns this season. Three of those have accounted for the first six-point play of the game. Addison crossed the goal line first in back-to-back games against the Chicago Bears and the San Francisco 49ers. He wasn't the first to score against Kansas City. However, he was the first to score a touchdown for the Vikings in that game.
Minnesota will start quarterback Jaren Hall on Sunday instead of the injured Kirk Cousins. The fifth-round pick out of BYU will need to lean on his best weapon, which should lead to early scoring opportunities for Addison.
The Atlanta Falcons have allowed four teams to score the first touchdown of the games so far this season. Last week, the Titans found the endzone three times before the Falcons got their first touchdown.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Baltimore Ravens first team touchdown scorer prediction: Lamar Jackson (Ravens, QB) (+450 via BetMGM) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Baltimore Ravens have logged the first touchdown in seven of their eight games this season. The Ravens have seen quarterback Lamar Jackson cross the goal line first in three of those games. They have also had the first possession in six games this year, giving Jackson the perfect chance to get the first score of the game.
To their credit, the Seattle Seahawks have allowed only one quarterback to rush for a touchdown against them this season. However, Jackson does have a rushing touchdown in his only career appearance against Seattle.
