NFL bets: David Johnson's first touchdown of the NFL season paid $3,500 to one bettor
One bettor was quite happy Demarcus Robinson couldn’t hang on in the end zone.
Early in the first quarter, Robinson seemed to have caught a touchdown from Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. After a long review, the play was reversed because the ball hit the ground. It was incomplete and the Chiefs ended up punting.
That kept alive a $500 bet that ended up paying off $3,500.
First touchdown props are popular, and one bettor put $500 on Houston Texans running back David Johnson to score the first touchdown. Johnson, acquired in the infamous DeAndre Hopkins trade, was 7-to-1 to score the first touchdown in the first game of the NFL season.
Johnson scored on a pretty 19-yard run late in the first quarter to give the Texans the lead, and give one bettor at MGM a nice payout less than a quarter into the NFL season.
David Johnson scores the opening TD of the NFL season!

There’s probably some bettor that took Robinson to score the first touchdown of the game and is complaining about a bad beat, but that’s a different story.
