First Touchdown Scorer Odds
Kalshi lists the following contract prices for potential first touchdown scorers:
Josh Jacobs: $0.15; Chuba Hubbard: $0.13; Christian Watson: $0.10; Matthew Golden: $0.08; Tucker Kraft: $0.08; Tetairoa McMillan: $0.07; Jalen Coker: $0.06; Savion Williams: $0.06; Darren Waller: $0.05.
Panthers Pick: Chuba Hubbard ($0.13)
Hubbard has reclaimed a featured role in Carolina's offense after sharing carries in 2025. Through six games in 2026, he has accumulated 459 rushing yards, 112 receiving yards, and six total touchdowns. The Panthers frequently target him near the goal line, and he has demonstrated an ability to score in multiple ways.
Packers Pick: Christian Watson ($0.10)
Watson has validated his four-year extension worth up to $110.5 million with 595 receiving yards and six touchdowns through eight weeks. Although he has not scored in the past two games and faces a tough Panthers secondary, quarterback Jordan Love continues to look his way in critical situations. At the current price, Watson is preferred over Josh Jacobs or Matthew Golden.
