My first touchdown scorer predictions for Wild Card Weekend are focusing on Trevor Lawrence, Davante Adams, and D'Andre Swift, among others, as I add to our NFL playoff predictions and wild-card matchups.

Lawrence is especially appealing while riding a scoring streak, and he's getting juicy +1200 betting odds against a weak Buffalo Bills run defense.

🙌 Best NFL Wild Card Weekend first touchdown scorer prediction

Trevor Lawrence, QB, Jaguars (+1200) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Trevor Lawrence has been using the passer's large-bodied frame to muscle his way into the end zone more often lately, scoring four of his nine rushing touchdowns across the Jacksonville Jaguars' final four games. That overall touchdown total put him second among quarterbacks this season.

Lawrence has been highly efficient around the goal line too while turning nine carries inside the 5-yard line into five touchdowns. That bodes well against Buffalo, a team with a 28th-ranked run defense that's given up the fifth-most rushing yards to quarterbacks this season (368).
