Shortest touchdown length?
Over 1.5 (+100)
Under 1.5 (-117)
Both teams boast defenses that are tough in the red zone, which will make scores of any kind difficult to come by when getting inside an opposing team's 20-yard line. Both coaches may be inclined to go for it even on fourth down if their respective teams are able to get that close to the end zone. Tom Brady is also a master of the quarterback sneak. - Gino Bottero
Pick: Under 1.5 (-117)
Will Rob Gronkowski score a first-half touchdown?
Yes (-175)
No (+145)
Gronkowski has been one of Brady's favorite targets this season, scoring a team-high 14 touchdowns in the regular season and playoffs. Less than half of those touchdowns (six, to be exact) have come in the first half, so "no" looks like the better option here. - Caitlyn Holroyd
Pick: No (+145)
Will there be a defensive or special-teams touchdown?
Yes (+165)
No (-185)
This is a matter of simple math. Both defenses are fairly opportunistic, producing eight defensive touchdowns combined throughout the regular season and postseason. However, neither offense is particularly prone to turnovers. The Patriots gave up touchdowns to opposing defenses just twice this season, while the Seahawks did it only once. These teams combined to surrender just one special-teams touchdown this season and that came back in Week 7, when the Rams executed a perfect trick play against Seattle. - Rob Pizzola
Pick: No (-185)
Will Russell Wilson score a rushing touchdown?
Yes (+200)
No (-260)
Against a Patriots' defense that has defended the run well all year, Russell Wilson may be in tough in Super Bowl XLIX. Wilson will likely have to make plays on the run and out of read-option sets, which the Seahawks often employ near the goal line. Wilson running for a touchdown could be a prosperous bet. - Arun Srinivasan
Pick: Yes (+200)
