Who will score the 1st touchdown for the Eagles in Super Bowl 52?
-
Zach Ertz was the favorite at 4/1 odds.
Just how good was Ertz during the 2017 season?
From Wikipedia:
Ertz began his breakout 2017 season well, with eight receptions for 93 yards in Week 1, and five receptions for 97 yards in Week 2. After Week 5, he was tied for third in the NFL in receptions. In week 6, he had only two receptions but both were touchdowns, already tying his career best with four on the season. Through Week 7, Ertz led all NFL tight ends in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. After another touchdown against San Francisco, Ertz fell off the pace in Weeks 8-10 with a hamstring injury,, bye-week, and limited duty (season-low two receptions for eight yards) in a Week 10 return. By contrast, in Week 11 Ertz became the first Eagle in 2017 with 100+ yards receiving (103) on a season-high 10 receptions and a seventh touchdown in a 31-3 drubbing of Chicago. On December 19, 2017, Ertz was named to his first Pro Bowl.
Alshon Jeffery and LeGarrette Blount were each coming in at 5/1 odds.
Jeffery joined the Eagles on September 10, 2017 and made quite a splash against the Washington Redskins. He finished that game with 38 yards on three catches. Jeffery had previously played for the Chicago Bears since 2012.
