College Football First Team to Score Prop Bet Odds

The first team to score prop bet often has the favorite as the most likely to score first. And with some college football games featuring two mismatched competitors, this would make sense. But the odds you see may not reflect what’s most likely to happen in the game. In fact, the underdog could very likely score first, while ultimately losing the game.

So, this prop is easy enough to place: pick which team you think will score first. It’s important that you handicap each team’s starting lineup, injury report, and recent performances carefully. Finally, don’t rule out the underdog just because they’re not likely to win the game outright. A quick field goal or errant safety for the underdog would make them the winners.

It’s more important to consider which side typically scores first in its recent matchups and by what method, and whether their opponent’s defense is adequately prepared or not.

Below, we’ll display the prop betting odds for the team to score first in College Football matchups.
