NFL Week 4 Touchdown Scorer Prop Bets: Sunday Night Football (Chiefs vs. Buccaneers)
Kansas City Chiefs First TD Scorer: Travis Kelce (+320)
The Kansas City passing attack flows through the All-Pro tight end. Kelce has been Patrick Mahomes' go-to receiver this season, leading the team in targets (24), receptions (17), receiving yards (230), and touchdowns (two). Furthermore, the veteran tight end has scored the first touchdown for the Chiefs in two of their three games this season, including last week. Meanwhile, Kelce has never scored a touchdown in three career matchups against the Buccaneers. However, he has averaged nine receptions on 11.5 targets in the two matchups against Tampa Bay with Mahomes under center. As the focal point of the Kansas City passing attack, Kelce is the most likely candidate to score the team's first touchdown.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers First TD Scorer: Mike Evans (+360)
While the Buccaneers have only three offensive touchdowns this season, all three have been passing touchdowns, going to three different receivers. One went to Evans, while the other two went to Breshad Perriman and Russell Gage. However, Evans is the most favored of the three this week. He scored the first touchdown in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys. Then Evans was ejected in Week 2 after a fight with Marshon Lattimore and suspended for Week 3. Meanwhile, the Chiefs have given up three touchdowns to wide receivers this season. With the rest of the receiving core dealing with injuries, Evans should see plenty of targets on Tampa Bay's opening drive.
