Browns vs. Panthers prop bet: First Drive Result

This first prop bet could be tricky. The idea is simple, just pick what the result of the first drive is going to be. If it’s a punt, the odds are -150, a field goal attempt is +430, and an offensive touchdown is +440. There’s an “any other” option as well, which includes turnovers, safeties, and defensive touchdowns. That one is sitting at +650.

What makes this tough is that it’s the first drive for whoever gets the ball first — rather than being able to predict how Cleveland or Carolina would do on their initial drive. If you felt strongly that one team would score a touchdown and the other would punt on the opening drive, you would also have to try and guess who gets the ball first.

Considering it’s Week 1 of the season, it wouldn’t be a shock to see the first drive end with the receiving team punting the ball away. But that’s also why that comes in as the favorite.
