Chiefs vs Falcons First Touchdown Odds, Sunday Night Football Projections
Drake London, the Falcons’ dynamic wide receiver, holds +1300 odds to score the first touchdown in the game against the Chiefs. Based on PRO Projections, we predict London to achieve this feat 0.09 times, presenting a 1.9% edge.
Even so, it’s essential to align with our recommended strategy: Only tail bets with a PRO Projections grade of 3.5% or higher. While London’s 1.9% edge falls below our advised threshold, his prowess and potential to make significant plays cannot be overlooked. London’s big frame in the red zone and reliability already make him a notable candidate despite the modest statistical edge.
The other player with a positive but not playable edge is Darnell Mooney. The first-year Falcons wide receiver has +1900 odds. We give him a 0.06 chance to open the scoring, but it's only a 1% edge.
