Christian McCaffrey has the best odds to score Super Bowl 58’s first touchdown. CMC is given as short as +340 odds to find the endzone first, but as long as +400.

After McCaffrey, we have Isiah Pacheco, the Chiefs running back, with the second-best odds to score the first TD. Pacheco is getting +650 odds, meaning a $20 bet on him could win you $130 and return $150.
49ers First Touchdown Scorers

San Francisco has scored the first touchdown of the game in 14 of their 19 games this season, which only includes one of their two playoff games. The 49ers are 12-2 when they score the game’s first touchdown versus 2-3 when their opponent scores the game’s first touchdown.
Here’s a quick look at the trends we have seen from the players who have scored the first touchdown in 49ers’ games this season:
- Christian McCaffrey has scored San Francisco’s first touchdown in eight of 19 games this season, but only four of them were the game’s first touchdown as well. CMC has not scored the game’s first touchdown since Week 11.
- Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel have scored the 49ers’ first touchdown in three games each, which is tied for second-most on the team. All of Aiyuk’s first TDs were also the first touchdown of the game, while two of Deebo’s were the first of the game as well.
- George Kittle is the only other 49er with multiple games scoring the team’s first touchdown, as the tight end has accomplished this feat twice. Ronnie Bell, Jordan Mason, and Elijah Mitchell (in Week 18 when CMC didn’t play) account for the other three.
- Wide receivers have been the position to score the first touchdown against San Francisco most often with it happening in ten of 19 games, and account for three of the five occasions where the 49ers’ opponent scored the first touchdown of the game.
- The other two times where San Francisco’s opponent scored the game’s first touchdown were done so by running backs. RBs scored the first touchdown against the 49ers in five games this season.
- A wide receiver has scored the first TD against San Francisco in each of their last four games.

Here is a quick look at some of the trends we have seen from the players who have scored the first touchdown, whether it be for or against, in Chiefs’ games this season:

Historical Super Bowl First TD Scorers
Max McGee, a wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers, scored the first ever touchdown in Super Bowl 1. McGee scored on a 37-yard pass from Bart Starr.
Jalen Hurts opened the scoring in Super Bowl 57, pushing across the goal line on a QB sneak on the first drive of the game. It didn’t come without a little controversy, though, as Kenneth Gainwell was believed to have scored the first TD on the previous play, but replay showed he came up inches short. The last ten Super Bowls have seen three wide receivers open the scoring, three running backs, two quarterbacks, one tight end, and one defensive player.
Here are some more Super Bowl first TD scorer trends you should know before betting:
- Wide receivers have scored the first touchdown in 23 of 58 Super Bowls, the most of any position group
