If you look back at recent Super Bowl history, scoring touchdowns hasn’t been an issue.
In five of the last six Super Bowls, both teams scored at least 20 points, which is a good indication that there will be plenty of points scored in Super Bowl LX.
With that in mind, here are some of my best Super Bowl TD bets for the Seahawks and Patriots.
All NFL odds used for these Super Bowl touchdown props are current as of Wednesday, Jan. 28, and courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best Anytime TD Props for the Super Bowl
Kenneth Walker III: Anytime TD (-190) vs Patriots
Unfortunately, the odds for Walker reaching the end zone aren’t that lucrative. But that also makes him one of the best anytime TD bets.
With Zach Charbonnet out, Walker got 19 carries in the NFC Championship Game, and he should have a similar workload in the Super Bowl.

It’s also a safe bet that Walker will be on the field anytime the Seahawks are in the red zone, so if they score a rushing touchdown in the Super Bowl, it’s a given that it’ll be Walker carrying the ball.
Stefon Diggs: Anytime TD (+250) vs Seahawks
This is my NFL pick of the day among TD props, in part because few players will be as excited to be playing in the Super Bowl as Diggs.
This season was the eighth time Diggs had participated in the playoffs, but the first time his team reached the Super Bowl.
Perhaps more importantly, the Seahawks have allowed just nine rushing touchdowns in 19 games this season.
The Patriots will have to score their touchdowns through the air, and with Kayshon Boutte getting most of the attention, the door is open for Diggs to make the most of his first Super Bowl appearance by scoring a touchdown.
Best First TD Props for the Super Bowl
Seahawks D/ST: First TD (+2200) vs Patriots
The Seahawks opened their Divisional Round win with a special teams touchdown, so perhaps they can do the same in the Super Bowl.
That was Seattle’s fifth defensive or special teams touchdown of the season, so it’s not that far-fetched for a team that’s elite defensively and sound on special teams.
Since the first touchdown scorer in the Super Bowl isn’t always one of the usual suspects, why not shoot for the stars and take a chance on a lucrative first TD bet?
Drake Maye: First TD (+1600) vs Seahawks
Maye is proving to be quite a nuisance with his legs.
In fact, almost all of New England’s best offensive plays in the AFC Championship Game involved Maye running the ball.

The problem is that Maye doesn’t fit the mold of a quarterback that requires a spy, but he’s also just athletic enough to do some damage if space opens up.
Perhaps the best antidote for a Seattle defense that doesn’t give up many rushing touchdowns is Maye making a play with his legs when the defense isn’t expecting it so early in the game.
Best Multiple TD Prop for the Super Bowl
Jaxon Smith-Njigba: 2+ TDs (+600) vs Patriots
There is excellent value for the best wide receiver in the Super Bowl — and arguably the best wide receiver in the league this season — to score two touchdowns.
Oddsmakers think it’s more likely that Kenneth Walker III scores twice.
- Pick from a list of our favorite Super Bowl Props.
But the New England defense was far more prone to giving up passing touchdowns than rushing touchdowns during the regular season, and both touchdowns the Patriots have conceded in the playoffs came through the air.
While Smith-Njigba had just two multi-touchdown games during the regular season, you don’t want to overlook the best player on the field to rise to the occasion in the Super Bowl.
Best TD Exacta Prop for the Super Bowl
Rhamondre Stevenson to Score 1st / Kenneth Walker III to Score 2nd (+3000)
Both quarterbacks in this game will be playing in their first Super Bowl and making just their fourth career playoff start.
While both should eventually settle into the game, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see both sides lean heavily into the running game early. That could lead to the two starting running backs scoring the first two touchdowns of the game.
It’s not that wild of a narrative if you want to take a chance on an exacta touchdown bet in Super Bowl LX.
How To Choose Super Bowl TD Props
There are several ways to target Super Bowl TD props.
The safest pick would be to take anytime TD props, where you just need your player to find the end zone at any point in the game.
If you’re looking for a better payout, you can target first TD props, which require your player to be the first touchdown scorer in the game.
You may be feeling confident that your player is in line for a huge game. This is where taking them to score multiple touchdowns may be a good option, especially due to the high odds.
The last popular choice is the exacta market, where you shoot for the moon and try to nail the first and second touchdown. You can even make it a trifecta by adding in the third score.
Wagering on each of these touchdown props involves strategy. Check out our betting tips below to help you create a sound process. And most importantly, if you want to wager on Super Bowl 60, first-time bettors get amazing deals at these Super Bowl betting sites.
NFL Anytime TD Betting Tips
The best way to choose your anytime TD bets is to select a player who sees a lot of volume, particularly in the red zone.
The red zone is the easiest place to score a touchdown since it’s within 20 yards, so this is important in your player selection.
You also want to take a look at the implied total to see how many touchdowns each team is projected to score.
NFL First TD Betting Tips
Choosing the first TD scorer is a low-probability endeavor, so you want to make sure that you’re risking fewer units on this market compared to anytime touchdowns.
The next piece of advice is to target a player from the favored team. Check the point spread to see who the favorite is and select one of their players. The bigger the favorite, the better because they’re more likely to score touchdowns.
Since the favored team is projected to win, there’s a good chance that they’ll score the first touchdown. From there, you can opt to pick a player with heavy usage or try to shoot for the moon on a long shot.
NFL Multiple TD Betting Tips
Multiple TD scorer props should be more of a sprinkle since it’s difficult to win. Be sure not to use a standard bet size on this market.
You want to take a player who sees heavy usage in the red zone here. It’s hard enough to score one touchdown, let alone two, so don’t take a player who is merely a deep-threat wide receiver.
It’s best to look at running backs in this market since it’s easier to score on the ground in the red zone than through the air. High-volume rushers like Kenneth Walker III are good choices for this market.
NFL Betting Tips for TD Exactas
TD Exactas are the lottery tickets of touchdown props. Be sure to only risk a fraction of your standard bet on a longshot like this. Remember, money management is key.
You can follow the same principles as you would for a first touchdown scorer with your first pick in the exacta. That means choosing a player from the favored team.
Next, if the point spread is a low number, you’ll want to take a player from the opposing team to score the next touchdown. This is because the game is projected to be close. From there, you can go back to the favorite for the third touchdown if you want to create a trifecta.
On the other hand, if the spread is high, you can take a player from the same team for two of three or even each of the touchdowns within your bet, since the game may turn into a blowout.
