The Kansas City Chiefs meet the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday night, and we have picked out our favourite selections from First Touchdown Scorer market for the game.

Super Bowl 1st Touchdown Scorer Picks: Best Chiefs Bet

Travis Kelce has been in headlines for months due to his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift, but he is more than just one half of the NFL’s new power couple.

Kelce is one of the very best tight ends to play the game, and time and time again he has delivered for Kansas City under the brightest lights.

He has scored 20 touchdowns across 22 appearances, and over the course of three Super Bowl appearances he has scored twice, including the win over San Francisco back in February 2020.

Kelce scored the first touchdown of the AFC Championship Game against Baltimore and has now scored Kansas City’s first TD in each of their last two games, so he has to be our Chiefs pick.

Super Bowl 1st Touchdown Scorer Tips: Best 49ers Bet

And of course, we have to opt with Christian McCaffrey from the San Francisco ranks when it comes to the leading candidate to score the game’s first touchdown.

McCaffrey has established himself as arguably the best running back in the National Football League, and he has found the endzone repeatedly this season.

He scored 14 touchdowns in 16 regular season appearances, and in the playoffs he scored two touchdowns against both Green Bay and Detroit as the 49ers made it to Super Bowl LVIII.

And making him even more appealing is the fact that in the 15 games where has scored this season, McCaffrey has scored either the game’s first TD or at least the 49ers’ first TD on eight occasions.
