Super Bowl Predictions & Tips Tips - 1st Touchdown

Best Los Angeles Rams Bet – Cooper Kupp
Best Cincinnati Bengals Bet – Tyler Boyd
Los Angeles Rams vs Cincinnati Bengals Super Bowl FAQs

Super Bowl LVI takes place on Sunday, February 13 and ExpertPicks have picked out our favorite selection from both the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals in the First Touchdown Scorer market.

Best Los Angeles Rams Bet – Cooper Kupp

It is impossible to look past Cooper Kupp as a potential touchdown scorer.

The Los Angeles Rams receiver has scored 20 touchdowns so far this season, and already has four in this season’s playoffs, including two in the NFC Championship Game win over San Francisco.

He remains the Rams’ most dangerous weapon on offense and although he has not scored the first touchdown in many games this season, he has LA’s leading touchdown scorer by a large margin and he did find the endzone first in the NFC Championship Game win over San Francisco.

On top of that, Los Angeles are yet to give up a first quarter touchdown in the playoffs so far, while Cincinnati have managed just one first quarter touchdown in their run to the Super Bowl, and that was at home on Wildcard Weekend.

That makes Los Angeles the more appealing pick to score the first touchdown of Super Bowl LVI, and Kupp’s record for hitting paydirt this season is simply too good to ignore. We are making him our best bet to grab the first touchdown at SoFi Stadium.

Best Cincinnati Bengals Bet – Tyler Boyd

But what if Cincinnati end their drought of first quarter touchdowns and the first TD of Super Bowl LVI? Who is the most likely man to hit paydirt from the Bengals’ ranks?

Joe Mixon and Ja’Marr Chase are the team leaders in touchdowns this season with 17 and 14 touchdowns respectively, although both men have only scored one in the postseason so far.

The Rams boast a dominant run defense that has been shutting down opponents in the postseason, and they will almost certainly put Jalen Ramsey on Chase in an attempt to keep the Cincy receiver quiet.

The Rams’ secondary are not easy to beat on the outside, but they can be beaten on the inside and that makes slot receiver Tyler Boyd and appealing first touchdown scorer selection from the Cincinnati ranks.

Boyd does not get the targets that Chase and Tee Higgins get, but he has turned his few targets into touchdowns in recent games, scoring four TDs across his last six outings. We are backing him to make it five scores in seven games here.

Verdict

Super Bowl LVI - 1st Touchdown Scorer

Los Angeles’ defense has not given up many points in the first quarter of any of their playoff games so far.

Cincinnati have been starting slow too, so Rams receiver Kupp is the most appealing first touchdown scorer pick for Super Bowl LVI.

The Bengals are likely to score a TD though, and with the Rams focused on Mixon and Chase, we are backing Boyd to get on the end of a Joe Burrow TD pass.
