The Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59 on Sunday night, and we have picked out our favorite player from each team for the First Touchdown Scorer market.
Super Bowl 1st Touchdown Scorer Tips: Best Chiefs Pick
Kareem Hunt has had just two 100-yard rushing games this season and has only passed the 50-yard mark twice in his last seven games.
However, the Kansas City running back has found the endzone repeatedly over the past several weeks, and only one Chiefs player has managed more touchdowns this season.
Hunt’s touchdowns tend to come in bunches too – he had five across the first five games of the season, and then scored in each of KC’s final two regular-season outings.
He has followed up those scoring performances in the postseason, finding paydirt in both of the Chiefs’ playoff wins, and both have been the first TD of the game.
So when Kansas City find their way into the Philadelphia redzone, we would not be surprised to see Mahomes hand the ball to Hunt and let the running back do the rest.
Kareem Hunt - 1st Touchdown Scorer @ +850

Super Bowl 1st Touchdown Scorer Tips: Best Eagles Pick
Surprisingly, Saquon Barkley did not lead Philadelphia in rushing touchdowns during the regular season, finishing one behind Jalen Hurts.
However, that does little to dampen our belief that he is the leading contender to score the game’s first touchdown, or at last the Eagles’ first.
Barkley has been on a dominant run that should have resulted in him setting a new record for single-season rushing yards (being rested for a dead rubber ended his chances).
He has shown up massively during the postseason too, playing a decisive role in the three victories that secured a trip to the Super Bowl for Philly.
Barkley has five touchdowns across those three games, with three of those scores coming in the first quarter of a game, so an early score from the Eagles running back is a real possibility in Super Bowl 59.

Verdict
Neither offense set the league alight with their passing games in 2024, so this is likely to be a game that is won in the trenches and via the run game.
For that reason we are looking at running backs in the First Touchdown Scorer market, with Barkley and Hunt the stand-out picks due to their current scoring form.
