Jaguars vs. Titans: NFL Week 18 First Touchdown Scorer Prop Bet Picks & Predictions (Saturday)
Week 18 concludes the 2022 NFL regular season. However, there is still plenty to determine before the playoffs start. The NFL has given fans an extra day of football with two matchups on Saturday.
In the second matchup of the day, we get a critical AFC South showdown between the Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars. The winner of this matchup will be the AFC South division winners and the No. 4 seed in the AFC playoffs. If the Titans lose, they are eliminated from playoff consideration. Meanwhile, the Jaguars can still make the playoffs as a wild card team, even if they lose to the Titans. However, it would require the New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, and Pittsburgh Steelers all to lose on Sunday.
There will be millions of dollars bet on these games. However, which touchdown prop bets should you make? Let’s take a look.

NFL Week 18 Touchdown Scorer Prop Bet Picks & Predictions (Saturday)
Tennessee Titans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Titans First TD Scorer: Derrick Henry (RB) +175
The Tennessee offense is built around Henry, and it shows every week. The superstar running back has 13 rushing touchdowns this season, the second-most in the NFL. Furthermore, he has accounted for 81.3% of the team’s rushing touchdowns and 41.9% of their offensive scores this year. More importantly, Henry has scored the first Tennessee touchdown in 37.5% of the games this season, including the past three contests he has played. In the Week 14 matchup between these two teams, Henry had 121 rushing yards and the first Titans touchdown of the game.
Jaguars First TD Scorer: Evan Engram (TE) +650
Jacksonville has won six of their past eight games, giving them a chance to make the playoffs for the first time since 2017. Their recent success has partly been because of Engram. The veteran tight end has four touchdowns this season, with three coming over the past five weeks. More importantly, Engram scored twice against the Titans in the Week 14 matchup, including the first Jacksonville touchdown of the game. Furthermore, he has the first Jaguars touchdown in 18.8% of the games this season. Meanwhile, Tennessee has surrendered eight receiving touchdowns to tight ends this year, the sixth-most in the NFL, including four over the past month.
