4. TCU First Touchdown Scored
LINE: +160
I always like this type of prop because you have an honest shot of something strange happening and landing a good deal.
The value in last year’s national championship was Alabama +100 to score the first touchdown, and neither team was able to get into the end zone until Zamir White did it for Georgia with just over a minute to play in the third – both teams traded field goals in the first half.
Georgia was -145 to score the first TD in last year’s game – that was no fun. -250 in this is even worse.
It’s hardly a 50/50 shot – there’s a reason it’s +160 – but let’s say the first TCU drive works and the coaching staff’s gameplan hits. Georgia can still win in a rout after getting down 7-0.
This also goes hand-in-hand with another high-value idea that’s not all that insane …
