My Patriots vs. Seahawks touchdown scorer pick market is one of the most intriguing betting angles for Opening Night, and our top pick is Rhamondre Stevenson. With TreVeyon Henderson ruled out due to an ankle injury, Stevenson is expected to take on a significantly larger role in New England's backfield.

Stevenson scored nine touchdowns last season, including seven rushing scores, and now gets an opportunity to lead the Patriots' ground game from the opening whistle. Seattle also enters the matchup without Kenneth Walker III, creating uncertainty in its own backfield and potentially giving New England more opportunities if the game script favors the Patriots. With increased volume and goal-line potential, Stevenson is our best touchdown scorer prediction for Patriots vs. Seahawks.

💰 Patriots vs. Seahawks best touchdown bet

Rhamondre Stevenson is in an excellent position to find the end zone tonight against the Seahawks. Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson has officially been ruled out with an ankle injury, leaving Stevenson as New England's clear lead back for the season opener.

That absence should result in a ton of carries and opportunities around the goal line for Stevenson. He scored nine total touchdowns last season, including seven rushing scores, and now has a chance to handle a much larger share of the Patriots' backfield workload.

New England will also be looking to establish the run after managing only 13 rushing attempts in its Super Bowl loss to Seattle. With Henderson unavailable, Stevenson should see enough volume to overcome the difficult matchup. If the Patriots reach the red zone multiple times, Stevenson's combination of workload and goal-line opportunities makes him our top touchdown scorer pick tonight.
