NFL Week 8 First Touchdown Scorer Picks & Predictions: 49ers vs. Rams

San Francisco 49ers @ Los Angeles Rams

Cooper Kupp

The first TD odds for this game have not been listed at the time of writing this, but Kupp is the play. You can click here for a list of odds from several different sportsbooks. McCaffrey is probably the favorite, with Kupp directly behind him. These teams met in week four, and the 49ers won by 15. The Rams had two turnovers in that game, but Kupp played well and received 19 targets. He had 14 catches for 122 yards, but the 49ers held them to only field goals. The Rams should be highly motivated for this game, which comes after their bye week. Playing this game at home with an extra week of practice is a good recipe for getting points on the board early. While everyone else bets on McCaffrey, Kupp may be the best play.
