Well, it is finally here.
Super Bowl 57 has arrived and will kick-off in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday, February 12th and boy is it going to be a good one.
The #1 Seed from the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs take on the #1 Seed from the NFC the Philadelphia Eagles in a battle of the 2 best teams from each conference to take home the Lombardi trophy and be crowned the Best Team in the World.
There are so many ways that you can bet on the biggest football game of the year, from the Coin Toss to the Color of the Gatorade Bath.
But at the end of the day, the most exciting bet you can make in the game is which player is going to score a touchdown and, even better, which player is going to score first?
You can also bet on whether the Chiefs or Eagles will score first but you came here for some ATTD fun so that’s what we are going to do!
Below, I will give you:
- Best Any Time Touchdown Scorers from the Chiefs and Eagles
- Best First Touchdown Scorer from the Chiefs and the Eagles
Let’s dive in…
Super Bowl LVII Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks
Kansas City Chiefs: Jerick McKinnon ATTD (+195)
Let’s kick this off with the Chiefs Swiss Army knife out of the backfield, Jerick McKinnon.
McKinnon is 2nd on the Chiefs with 10 total touchdowns this season, behind only Travis Kelce (more in Kelce in a minute)
Jerick hasn’t broken the plane in the Chiefs two post season games, but he scored in 6 straight games to cap off the regular season and the Chiefs are going to want to use one of their most dynamic pass catchers in the red zone in the biggest game of their season.
Look for HC Andy Reid and Offensive Coordinator Eric Bienemy to cook up a couple looks for McKinnon when the Chiefs get down inside the 10.
For the +195 value for the Chiefs 2nd most prolific scorer to break the plane, I love McKinnon!
Philadelphia Eagles: AJ Brown ATTD (+120)
On the Eagles side, let’s use similar logic as we did with the Chiefs and go with the stud WR who scored the 2nd most TDs for the Eagles this season, AJ Brown.
Brown racked up 11 TDs this season, 2nd on the Eagles only behind QB Jalen Hurts (more on him shortly).
Big players make big plays in the Super Bowl and Brown is just that.
Look for AJ to have plenty of opportunities to put in a star performance, racking up yards and most importantly for our bet, breaking the plane 😉
Super Bowl LVII First Touchdown Scorer Picks
Chiefs: Travis Kelce (+650)
Picking the player to score the first touchdown is obviously a bit more of a gamble than the standard ATTD but someone has to score first and for the Chiefs, no better way to go than Travis Kelce.
Kelce lead the Chiefs in the regular season with 12 total touchdowns, good for 8th in the NFL.
The All-Pro Tight End has 3 TD’s this post season and in both games, scored first for the Chiefs.
It is no secret that Patrick Mahomes wants to get Kelce the ball often, especially in the red zone, but stopping it is something no team has been able to do.
For +650 for the best option on the field to do what he has done the last 2 games, I will take that value all day long!
Eagles: Jalen Hurts (+800)
Let’s cap this off with the Eagle with the most touchdowns on the team to sneak into the end zone first.
Hurts led the Eagles with 13 rushing touchdowns on the season, good for 7th in the NFL.
The Eagles will be looking for Hurts to take over this game in as many ways as possible, throwing and most importantly, running.
If the Eagles get the ball first and are able to move the ball down the field to the red zone, Hurts is automatically the best threat to score on a sneak or any type of Quarterback run.
The Eagles were able to capitalize on Hurts’ dual threat ability in the red zone all season long and that will be a big factor in helping them push towards lifting the Lombardi Trophy.
Enjoy the Game!
