Green Bay Packers vs. San Francisco 49ers Prediction: Hit The First Touchdown Scorer at Betfred
While it's always a crapshoot who will score the first touchdown in a game, that's why the odds are long and for those looking for high-risk high-reward; this is the bet for you. In Green Bay, the well-rested Packers will welcome in a 49ers team fresh off a narrow victory over the Cowboys that saw their quarterback get hurt once again.
Will Jimmy G be able to overcome yet another, this time a shoulder, injury to at least keep this one close? Let's take a closer look at how that quest could begin.

Green Bay Packers vs. San Francisco 49ers First Touchdown Scorer
First TD Scorer: Davante Adams (+400)
Aaron Rodgers has had some great receivers in his time as the QB1 in Green Bay, but potentially none more reliable than Adams. That proved true once again this season, as the veteran duo hooked up for 1,553 yards and 11 touchdowns with an average grab of 12.6 yards per.
A veteran duo that has plenty of postseason success. Over their five playoff seasons together, Adams has eight touchdowns in 10 games, and I expect another big one to get things kicked off in these. I've already called for a Packers blowout, and what better way to get things started.
First TD Scorer: Deebo Samuel (+550)
While he got just three looks in the 49ers Wild Card win over the Cowboys, Deebo made the most of them catching all three for an average of 12.7 yards per catch. He was also up against one of the best DBs in the league in Trevon Diggs, an issue he won't have in this one.
To finish the regular season, Deebo racked up 1,405 yards and six touchdowns to lead the team, one that relies most heavily on the run. In a game I think they know could turn into a shootout, look for Deebo to potentially break something off deep early.
First TD Scorer: Aaron Rodgers (+1500)
Averaging 39 carries per season over his last three, Rodgers has some sneaky wheels that he uses as required. In last season's playoffs, he scored via the ground, and comes into this postseason as fresh and rested as he has been in quite some time. Look for Rodgers to sneak should the Packers get down to the goal line, as all the stops will be pulled out now as they just two wins from a Super Bowl appearance.
