Super Bowl LV betting: Tom Brady snaps weird streak of first quarter shutouts, Gronk cashes first TD prop

It made no sense why Tom Brady struggles so much in the first quarter of Super Bowls. It’s not like he hadn’t been on the stage before.

Perhaps the weirdest trend of Brady’s postseason career was that in his first nine Super Bowls, his teams scored three total points. He obviously had no touchdown passes. That streak finally ended in Super Bowl LV, as Brady hit Rob Gronkowski for the first touchdown of the game, giving the Buccaneers a 7-3 lead with 37 seconds left in the quarter.

Gronkowski was the right call for the first player to score a touchdown prop, which was the most-bet prop for Super Bowl LV at BetMGM.
