So which player will score the first touchdown of Super Bowl 51? Here are three options where we see value in the odds.

Which Player Will Score The First Touchdown Tonight

LeGarrette Blount 7/1

No player in the NFL scored more rushing touchdowns during the regular season than Blount, who found paydirt 18 times on the ground this year. Thus, if the Patriots get near the goal line on their opening offensive possession, there's a good chance that Blount will have the first opportunity to bulldoze his way into the end zone. At 7/1, Blount offers tremendous value for bettors that are looking to wager on this prop.

Tom Brady 22/1

You wouldn't generally think that a quarterback would have the opportunity to score a touchdown but Brady is so good at quarterback sneaks that he too offers great value at 22/1. If the Patriots get forced back a few times at the goal line, there's a chance Brady will be asked to burrow his way into the end zone via a sneak. At 22/1, he's worth the risk.

Devonta Freeman 8/1

Even though he shares the backfield with Tevin Coleman, Freeman remains the Falcons' No. 1 back. Coleman does see plenty of goal line opportunities in Atlanta's explosive offense, but chances are Freeman will have the first crack at a touchdown if the Falcons are near the goal line in the first quarter. Freeman is also a threat to catch the ball out of the backfield, so he could always take a screen pass to the house if the Falcons get close enough.
