A passing touchdown is currently the 11/10 favorite on the prop bet asking what the Patriots' first scoring play of the Super Bowl will be – and with weapons like Wes Welker, Aaron Hernandez, and Rob Gronkowski at Tom Brady's disposal you can see why it would be a popular choice for Sunday.
A rushing touchdown is set at 13/4 odds, with a defensive or special teams touchdown at 9/1 odds. A run-of-the-mill field goal sits at 8/5 odds to be the Patriots' first scoring play of the game, while the more exotic safety is at 40/1 odds. The Patriots not recording a single scoring play against the Giants in the Super Bowl on Sunday sits at 40/1 as well.
You can also get -180 odds that New England's first score of the game will be a touchdown in a matchup with 'field goal or safety', which is the +150 underdog on that prop wager.
In the AFC Championship Game against the Ravens two weekends ago the Patriots first got on the board with a 29-yard field goal by Stephen Gostkowski. The Pats also started out with a field goal in their game against the New York Giants during the regular season, a 32-yarder off the foot of Gostkowski that didn't come until the third quarter of that 24-20 home loss.
Back in Super Bowl XLII the Patriots' first scoring play was a run by Laurence Maroney.
And if you want some immediate action on Sunday, you can also wager on what the Patriots will do first – score or punt. Currently the 'punt' option is the -130 favorite on that Super Bowl prop, with 'score' set as an EVEN-odds underdog.
