Predicting which team will score first is tough, as these are two of the best first-quarter scoring offenses, while both defenses also rank in the top 10 of first-quarter scoring defense. For more coverage of this game, check out our NFL playoff predictions.

💰 Best Rams vs. Bears first touchdown scorer pick: Davante Adams, WR, Rams (+600) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NFL analysis and expert predictions for every playoff game.
Adams hasn’t scored since Week 13, failing to find the end zone in three consecutive games. However, he still leads the Rams with 14 receiving touchdowns, the most for any player in the NFL this season.
Adams has scored in nine of his 15 games this season, and tonight, he faces a Bears defense that allowed 32 passing touchdowns during the regular season. That’s the fifth-most in the NFL.
Both of these offenses are solid early, with each ranking in the top six of first-quarter scoring. But with the Rams favored, I’ll give them the edge to score first.

Colston Loveland, TE, Bears (+1300) ⭐⭐⭐
Loveland has scored in two of his last three games, and he leads the Bears in receptions (58), receiving yards (713), and he’s tied for the team lead with six receiving touchdowns. He didn’t score last week, but he led the Bears with eight receptions for 137 yards.
Though the Rams gave up three rushing touchdowns last week, they finished the regular season allowing just eight, the fewest in the NFL. Caleb Williams has thrown multiple touchdowns in six consecutive games.
The Rams allowed seven touchdowns to tight ends in the regular season, tied for the 13th-most in the league.
Colby Parkinson, TE, Rams (+1400) ⭐⭐⭐
Parkinson hasn’t scored first in a game this season, but he’s scored in back-to-back games and nine total times this season. After failing to score in his first six games, he’s scored in seven of his last 10.
The Bears allowed six touchdowns to tight ends during the regular season, but with the Rams having scored 49 passing touchdowns this year, I expect multiple players to score against this porous Bears secondary.
Parkinson enters this game with the third-most receptions, targets, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns on the Rams, behind only Adams and Puka Nacua.
