Greg Olsen is the favorite to score first in next Sunday’s Super Bowl, and even money to score at any point in the game. The odds on a defensive or special teams touchdown is at about +160, while any return touchdown is around +550.
A friendly reminder on first touchdown bets — a quarterback must run the ball in to cash the bet. That’s why Peyton Manning and Panthers’ receiver Kevin Norwood, who hasn’t caught a pass all season, have the same odds.

Odds listed this way would be a bettor’s winnings when betting $100, so a $100 bet on Olsen to score first would yield $750. A $10 bet on him would earn $75.
