Kyren Williams, RB, Rams (+675) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
While taking an RB as a first touchdown scorer doesn’t offer the juiciest odds, Williams has scored four touchdowns over his last three games, making his value hard to ignore.
The Rams RB scored the first touchdown for L.A. against the Detroit Lions on Sunday and also cashed as the first touchdown scorer against Seattle on Nov. 16. NFL markets are among the most efficient in the world, and there’s a reason Williams has the shortest odds.
Caesars has the best odds for Williams to score first, so bet him there before the operator realizes its number is off-market.
Gary Pearson also backs Williams to score in his Rams vs. Seahawks predictions, and Dustin Saracini features the Rams RB in his Rams vs. Seahawks player props.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Seahawks (+700) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Smith-Njigba has four touchdowns over his last four games.
He cashed as the first touchdown scorer against the Tennessee Titans on Nov. 23 in a two-touchdown performance. Smith-Njigba also scored the first touchdown of the game in a home win over the Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 9, meaning he’s cashed this bet at +700 odds in two of his last six games.
While FanDuel is one of the sharpest books for player props, it’s undervaluing Smith-Njigba in this spot.
Meanwhile, Brenden Schaeffer breaks down why he fades the Seahawks in his Rams vs. Seahawks same-game parlay.
Terrance Ferguson, TE, Rams (+2200) ⭐⭐⭐
Terrance Ferguson is my best long shot for Thursday night.
While the Rams tight end has scored just one touchdown in 12 games this season, he has been targeted two or more times in two of his last three games, giving him a solid chance to cash this prop. Over a larger sample, he has been targeted at least twice in five of his last eight contests.
The Seahawks have allowed 16 points or fewer in three straight games, but that trend is unlikely to continue, so Rams pass-catchers are being undervalued in this matchup.
