Gronkowski led the team with 18 touchdowns during the regular season and he's scored three more so far in the playoffs. So despite the tight end's bad ankle he's been pegged as the 3/1 favorite at Bovada to be the first New England player to find the end zone against the Giants on Sunday.
 
Wide receiver Welker is set at 4/1 odds, and he had nine touchdown receptions during the regular season plus one so far in the playoffs.
 
Tied with Welker on the list is tight end Aaron Hernandez at 4/1 odds, with running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis at 9/2. Hernandez had seven TD receptions during the regular season and has one so far in the playoffs, while Green-Ellis has rushed for a total of 12 scores so far this year.
 
Wide receiver Deion Branch (15/2) and running back Danny Woodhead (12/1) are next on those prop options, followed by Brady at 14/1 odds. Branch has scored six touchdowns so far this season, Woodhead just one, and Brady four.
 
Chad Ochocino, who has caught just one touchdown pass this season, is then at 15/1 odds, while you can get 12/1 odds that the Patriots won't score any touchdowns on Sunday against the Giants.
 
Back in New England's 24-20 loss to New York during the regular season Gronkowski and Hernandez scored the team's touchdowns, while Green-Ellis and Brady rushed for scores in the Pats' win over the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game last time out.
