Raiders vs. Steelers: Saturday Night Football First Touchdown Scorer Prop Bets (Week 16)
Las Vegas Raiders First TD Scorer: Davante Adams (WR) +265
When the Raiders traded for Adams in the offseason, they had high expectations. The veteran receiver has blown away those expectations in his first year with Las Vegas. The superstar receiver leads the team with 12 receiving touchdowns, eight more than any other player. His 12 total touchdowns also lead the team. Furthermore, Adams and Travis Kelce tie for the league lead in receiving touchdowns. More importantly, the superstar receiver has scored the first Las Vegas touchdown in 35.7% of the games this season. Meanwhile, the Steelers have surrendered 16 touchdowns to wide receivers this year, with six coming as the first score of the game for their opponent. Adams will have no trouble picking apart the Pittsburgh secondary.
Pittsburgh Steelers First TD Scorer: Najee Harris (RB) +310
After starting the year slowly, the former Alabama star running back has looked like his rookie form lately. Over the past five weeks, Harris has averaged 76.6 scrimmage yards per game. More importantly, he has five rushing touchdowns during that span, scoring the first Pittsburgh touchdown four times. Furthermore, the star running back has scored the opening touchdown for the Steelers in half of the games this season, including two straight. Meanwhile, Las Vegas has surrendered a rushing score as the first offensive touchdown of the game in six of their past seven contests. After scoring the first Pittsburgh touchdown in two straight games, don’t be surprised when Harris makes it three in a row against the Raiders.
