💰 Best Rams vs. Seahawks first touchdown scorer pick: Puka Nacua cashes for first time in playoffs (+850) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Check out all of our NFL analysis and expert predictions for every playoff game.

Not only has Nacua scored at least one touchdown in five of his last six games, but he also cashed as the first touchdown scorer in Week 18.

Nacua has not cashed this bet in the playoffs this season, but he's led L.A. in targets and receptions in both games. So when Matthew Stafford looks to throw in the red zone, Nacua's our best bet to score first.

I also back Nacua in my Rams vs. Seahawks anytime touchdown scorer predictions, and Liam Fox likes Nacua to record 92 or more receiving yards in his Rams vs. Seahawks player props.

AJ Barner stays productive, cashes as first TD scorer (+1100) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Barner offers solid value at +1100 odds. While he hasn’t cashed as the first touchdown scorer since a Week 4 win over the Cardinals, he has caught a touchdown pass in two of his last four games.

With Zach Charbonnet (knee) missing his first game since Week 3, the Seahawks may throw the ball more, as Kenneth Walker III can only handle so much of the workload. The more Sam Darnold throws, the more likely Barner is to be targeted in the end zone, and these odds are inflated due to Jaxon Smith-Njigba being such a public favorite.

Terrance Ferguson strikes first, shocks betting market (+4000) ⭐⭐⭐

It’s unlikely that Ferguson scores first - but it’s much more likely than these odds suggest. He's scored the first touchdown for the Rams in two of his last three games, including against Seattle in Week 16.

Ferguson's being undervalued in the market, as the prevailing narrative right now is to buy Colby Parkinson and sell on the other Rams tight ends. However, that's just an overreaction to Parkinson being targeted seven times in the Divisional Round - Ferguson’s odds shouldn’t be this long.

Meanwhile, Sean Tomlinson backs another Rams tight end to score with his Rams vs. Seahawks prediction.
