Super Bowl Touchdown Prop Picks: Seahawks vs Patriots First TD Scorer Predictions

All eyes will be on Levi's Stadium for Super Bowl 60 between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots on Sunday, February 8.

I break down my two favorite Super Bowl first touchdown picks and NFL picks for the Big Game.

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner has multiple paths to pay dirt against the New England Patriots.

He caught six touchdowns during the regular season and also rushed one in, with the 23-year-old tight end frequently moonlighting in quarterback-sneak and short-yardage situations. Forget the tush push, it's time for the Seattle shove.

Barner also garnered a respectable 13 red-zone targets and was targeted on a healthy 20.9% of his routes during the regular season. His 66.7% contested catch rate and 5.1 yards after the catch per reception were high-end marks among tight ends, too.

The Seahawks have only allowed five rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs across 19 games, and Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is a threat on the ground with four rushing scores during the regular season and another in the AFC title game.

I'm anticipating Seattle giving the New England rushing attack trouble in the red zone, and Maye needing to call his own number or scramble for a score in Super Bowl LX.

It's definitely in play, too.

Maye had 21 red-zone rushing attempts and finished third with 422 yards accumulated from scrambles during the regular season, after all, and he's added another 125 scramble yards across three playoff contests.
