💰 Best Sunday Night Football first touchdown scorer bets

🔥 Oronde Gadsden II TD pick: To score first TD (+1100) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oronde Gadsden II has been the breakout star of this L.A. offense. He's been targeted at least five times in each of the last four games, a stretch that includes two touchdowns and an average of over 94 yards per contest.

He now faces a Steelers defense that's allowed six touchdowns to the tight end position (tied for second-most in the NFL).

I'm heading to bet365 for the best odds on this TD pick, with the +1100 price translating to an implied probability of 8.33%. A successful $10 wager will score a $110 profit.

Our Brenden Schaeffer is also targeting Gadsden in his Steelers vs. Chargers same-game parlay.

🔥 Jaylen Warren TD pick: To score first TD (+700) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Look, Warren's 2025 stats won't turn any heads, but the Pittsburgh running back leads the team in red-zone touches with nearly 10 more than the next-closest Steeler. He also scored two touchdowns in last week's huge win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Despite fielding a strong defense, L.A. has allowed eight rushing touchdowns to running backs this season (tied for the fifth-most). Let's target that relative weakness and back Warren to get the Steelers on the board tonight.

Among the best sports betting sites, FanDuel boasts the best price (+700, 12.5%). A $10 bet would net a $70 profit.

Our Philip Wood is backing Warren's Steelers to pick up the road win tonight in his Steelers vs. Chargers prediction.

🔥 Justin Herbert TD pick: To score first TD (+2700) ⭐⭐⭐

Herbert only has one rushing score on the season, but he's averaging a career-high 6.6 yards per rush - nearly two yards better than his previous personal best.

With 10 attempts in the red zone this season, it feels like he's due for another score on the ground sometime soon. Pittsburgh has allowed three rushing touchdowns to signal-callers, tied for the third-most.

FanDuel provides the top odds for a Herbert first TD, with +2700 translating to an implied probability of 3.57%. Place your $10 bet there for a chance to win $270.

Our Esten McLaren also likes Herbert's chances of scoring with his legs tonight in his Steelers vs. Chargers anytime touchdown scorer predictions.
