First Touchdown Scorer Predictions for 49ers vs. Seahawks: Who'll Score First?
My first touchdown scorer predictions for 49ers vs. Seahawks focus on Zach Charbonnet, Jake Tonges, and AJ Barner as part of our NFL Divisional Round predictions. The Seahawks are favored by 7 points in Saturday’s 8 p.m. ET (FOX) game at Lumen Field in Seattle.
The last time these teams met, the 49ers didn’t score any touchdowns, but I still think it’s worth taking a chance on Tonges at a great price. Meanwhile, Barner and Charbonnet provide the most value for the Seahawks, considering the matchup.

Check out all of our NFL analysis and expert predictions for every playoff game.
Zach Charbonnet has scored 12 touchdowns this season, and he’s scored first for the Seahawks in both of their games against the 49ers. He leads the Seahawks with 12 touchdowns, and he’s scored in three consecutive games.
Charbonnet has scored the first touchdown in four games, and he’s managed to find the end zone before anyone else in three consecutive contests.
In the regular season, the Seahawks allowed just 7.3 first-half points per game, which was the fewest in the league. Meanwhile, they’re averaging the fourth-most first-quarter points per contest (6.2), making it very likely Seattle scores first.

See all of our NFL touchdown props for every playoff game.
Jake Tonges, TE, 49ers (+1900) ⭐⭐⭐
San Francisco tight ends account for both of the team's touchdowns against the Seahawks this season. Jake Tonges scored the game-winner in Week 1, and with George Kittle out for this game, there’s no doubt he’s the top tight end on the team.
Tonges scored five touchdowns this season, with four of those scores coming in games where Kittle didn’t play or was injured before Tonges found the end zone.
Additionally, the Seahawks have struggled against tight ends this season, giving up six touchdowns and 1,080 yards. That’s the sixth-most yards allowed to the position.
AJ Barner, TE, Seahawks (+950) ⭐⭐⭐
Though AJ Barner didn’t score in either game against the 49ers, he’s scored six times this season and in two of his last three games.
The 49ers’ pass defense gave up 29 touchdowns in the regular season, tied for the 11th-most in the league. More than one-third of those were by opposing tight ends, as the 49ers tied for the sixth-most touchdowns allowed to the position (10). Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert scored twice against the 49ers last week in the Wild Card Round.
