Apparently, bettors are expecting the ascendant Lions to get into the end zone first during their Sunday night matchup with the Rams. Detroit is currently dominating the anytime scorer market.
Both of the Lions’ top rushers last season finished among the top-10 rushing scorers — Gibbs (10) and Montgomery (13) found the end zone.
Williams is surprisingly the second-most bet player to score on Sunday night, despite having scored only three times through 18 career games, including just two scores in 12 games last season.

Perhaps even more surprisingly, the most popular first touchdown market is expecting a special teams or defensive unit to produce some early fireworks.

A fair warning that the first TD market is incredibly EV — the same can be said for most, if not all, of the anytime TD market. Use these as entertainment levers more than financial instruments.
