Both the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots have excellent defenses, but the offenses finished the regular season ranked second and third in total points and points per game. DraftKings Sportsbook has the total for Super Bowl 60 at 46.5, so points are expected to be scored.
Let’s break down the Super Bowl 60 touchdown scorer market on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Super Bowl 60 Touchdown Scorer Prop Bets
AJ Barner First Touchdown Scorer (+1000)
Barner caught only two of three targets for 13 yards in the Conference Championship, but he was third in targets during the regular season with 18 red zone opportunities. New England has been stout against running backs, both rushing and receiving. I’d imagine since Mike Vrabel has some Bill Belichick influence in his blood that Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be enemy numero uno, which should allow the periphery players an opportunity to make plays. New England allowed the 13th-most fantasy points to tight ends during the regular season.
Kayshon Boutte First Touchdown Scorer (+1600)
Seattle has one of the best run defenses in the league, but I think New England will start the game pounding the rock while. The Patriots will complement this with a short passing game since the Seahawks are able to generate pressure without blitzing much. In addition, the Patriots will likely give some time for Drake Maye to get settled into the contest. He has rushing prowess but Seattle is one of the best at limiting quarterback runs because they play a lot of zone. This conservative offense early on should get one of the safeties to creep up, allowing Boutte an opportunity to go one-on-one on the outside. Per Next Gen Stats, Maye and Boutte have connected for a league-high five deep touchdowns of 20+ air yards this season.
