Kenneth Walker III First Touchdown (+375) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Without Zach Charbonnet, who tore his ACL in the NFC Divisional Round against the San Francisco 49ers, Walker III has gotten ample usage. 

Without Charbonnet this season, Walker III has handled 85.7% of the Seahawks’ running back carries, rushing 258 times for 1,211 yards and nine touchdowns. 

He’s scored four touchdowns during this postseason, including one last week and three against the 49ers. 

He’s had 19 carries in back-to-back games.

As for the receiving game, he’s tied for second on the Seahawks in target share at 16.1% when both Charbonnet and wide receiver Tory Horton aren’t active.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba First Touchdown (+550) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Smith-Njigba has great odds to score the first touchdown and is also third in Super Bowl MVP odds at +500. 

Smith-Njigba has scored in back-to-back games (both playoff matchups) and has scored 12 total times this season, including the postseason. 

He’s been dominant this season, leading the Seahawks with a 35.4% target share. The next closest player is Cooper Kupp at 16%. 

He’ll have a tough matchup against cornerback Christian Gonzalez, but with how often he’s targeted, JSN will see plenty of targets, which could lead to the first touchdown.

Hunter Henry First Touchdown (+1400) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Including the postseason, Henry is second on the Patriots in target share at 17.5%. He’s run a route on 75.4% of his quarterback’s dropbacks and leads the Patriots in touchdowns with eight. 

While the Seahawks have only allowed six touchdowns all season to opposing tight ends, they’ve allowed a lot of production in other ways. 

Against tight ends, the Seahawks have allowed the fifth-most receiving yards per game to tight ends at 63.9. 

This postseason, Henry caught a touchdown in the Wild Card round, but he has taken a significant step back over the last two weeks. 

Though, to be fair, the AFC Championship with the snow was tough to expect much of anything out of anyone. 

Henry should be able to produce against the Seahawks and find the end zone.

TreVeyon Henderson First Touchdown (+2800) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Henderson hasn’t been used much this postseason, but over the course of the season, excluding games where Rhamondre Stevenson was inactive (Weeks 9, 10, and 11) - so they’re on an even playing field - Stevenson barely edges out Henderson’s running back carry percentage at 47.6% to 41.3%. 

In those games, Henderson averaged 10.8 touches per game, scored five times, and averaged 4.5 yards per carry. 

Again, he hasn’t been used much at all over the last two weeks, but that could be the perfectsetupp to let the dynamic back out of Ohio State break one off for a big run and score.
