Who will score the first TD in XLVII?
NEW ORLEANS, LA (The Spread) - Which player will score the first touchdown when the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers square off in Super Bowl XLVII? Let's check out the odds. View Latest Super Bowl XLVII Odds According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, Frank Gore is a 13/2 favorite to score the first touchdown in this year's Super Bowl. Michael Crabtree and Ray Rice have the next best odds at 15/2, respectively, while Anquan Boldin and Colin Kaepernick are both 8/1, respectively. 49ers tight end Vernon Davis is 9/1. Torrey Smith has 10/1 odds to be the first player to score a touchdown in the 2013 Super Bowl, while Dennis Pitta and Randy Moss are both 12/1, respectively. Delanie Walker is 18/1, Bernard Pierce is 20/1, and Ed Dickson and Jacoby Jones are 25/1, respectively. Quarterback Joe Flacco, meanwhile, is 30/1. Some of the long shots for this prop odd include Anthony Dixon, Ed Reed, Ted Ginn Jr. and Vonta Leach, who are all 33/1, respectively, while Ray Lewis is 50/1. The rest of the "Field" has 17/2 odds while "No touchdown scored in the game" has long shot odds of 75/1. Even for as good as both teams' defenses can be, it's highly unlikely that David Akers and Justin Tucker are going to get into a field goal slugfest. The season the scoring got off to a slow start, as the Giants were awarded a safety when Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was called for Intentional Grounding in the end zone. Victor Cruz then scored a 2-yard touchdown on a pass from Eli Manning with 3:24 left in the first quarter, as the Giants eventually went on to win 21-17. In the 2010 Super Bowl, Packers' receiver Jordy Nelson scored on a 29-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers and in 2009, Pierre Garcon scored on a 19-yard touchdown reception from Peyton Manning. You'd have to go back to 2008 when a non-receiver scored the first touchdown, as Gary Russell notched a 1-yard TD run for the Steelers in their 27-23 victory over the Cardinals. 2013 Super Bowl XLVII Prop Odds - Which player will score the first touchdown?
