The Seahawks opened as 1.5-point underdogs for Thursday Night Football, but they've seen the line flip in their favor ahead of kickoff tonight - even with the Rams seeing the majority of tickets and overall betting handle in their favor.
Keep an eye on the difference between those two amounts. With more overall tickets on the Rams than money wagered, that suggests the average bet size is higher for Seattle, which could be a signal for sharp activity on the 'Hawks.

| Player | Prop bet (odds) | Profit ($10 bet) |
|---|---|---|
| 🐏 Colby Parkinson, TE, Rams | To score anytime TD (+240) | $24 |

| 🐏 Kyren Williams, RB, Rams | To score anytime TD (+120) | $12 |
| 🟢 Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Seahawks | To score anytime TD (+100) | $10 |
| 🐏 Puka Nacua, WR, Rams | To score anytime TD (+110) | $11 |
Three of the most-bet players to score a touchdown tonight on Thursday Night Football are usual suspects: Kyren Williams is tied for fifth leaguewide in rushing touchdowns (10), while Jaxon Smith-Njigba (9) and Puka Nacua (6) both rank in the top 15 among all wide receivers in trips to the end zone.
It's a bit more surprising to see Colby Parkinson and Konata Mumpfield, who could both be in line for more receiving work tonight with Davante Adams unlikely to play as he recovers from a hamstring injury suffered last week. That makes Mumpfield - who has played nearly half his team's snaps in consecutive weeks - an intriguing long shot in this market, though Williams feels like the best value to scoop up Adams' red-zone work.
Our NFL expert Esten McLaren is also expecting Adams' injury to open up opportunities for some of the Rams' secondary stars, as he outlines in his anytime touchdown scorer predictions for Thursday Night Football.

Most of the popular bets to score the first touchdown on Monday Night Football are among those most-bet players to score an anytime touchdown, as well. But this market is especially favorable to Williams, who scored the Rams' first touchdown last week and leads the NFL with eight rushing touchdowns inside the 5-yard line.
The most intriguing bet on the board is Darnold to score the opening touchdown at 66/1 odds, which would turn a $10 bet into a $660 profit. The Seahawks QB doesn't have any rushing touchdowns this season, but he has a combined seven rushing attempts over the last two weeks and has 14 rushing touchdowns in 97 career games.
