Titans vs. Jaguars first touchdown scorer prediction: Travis Etienne, Jaguars, RB (+380 via Caesars)

The Jacksonville Jaguars scored the first touchdown in six out of their nine games this season. Last week, they were unable to reach the end zone against the San Francisco 49ers. However, in the three games before that, Etiene was the first player to score a touchdown for either team.

In all but two of their nine games in 2023, Tennessee’s opponent has been the first to reach the end zone. Of the touchdowns allowed, four were scored by running backs.

The Titans have allowed a total of seven touchdowns to running backs this season, with an opposing back scoring in each of their last three games.

Buccaneers vs. 49ers first touchdown scorer prediction: Christian McCaffrey, 49ers, RB (+290 via Caesars)

San Francisco has scored the first touchdown in all but two games this season. McCaffrey has scored the first touchdown of the game three times this year, but his 17-game scoring streak was ended last week. It is likely that the Niners will try to get him back into the end zone this week to start a new streak.

In seven out of nine games this season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have allowed their opponents to score a touchdown first, with three of those being rushing touchdowns.

McCaffrey has scored four touchdowns in his last three games against the Buccaneers, including the first six-point play of the day.
