🙌 Best NFL Divisional Round first touchdown scorer prediction
D'Andre Swift, RB, Bears (+900) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
D'Andre Swift will likely be the Bears' No. 1 option if they reach the red zone first on Sunday. He has scored the Bears' first touchdown in two of his last five games, including as the first touchdown scorer at home against the Cleveland Browns in Week 15.
With Caleb Williams starting slowly against the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round - throwing zero touchdowns in the first half - Ben Johnson will likely look to Swift early to get the Bears on the board.
Dustin Saracini also features Swift in his anytime touchdown scorer predictions for the Divisional Round.
