First Touchdown Scorer Odds for Vikings vs 49ers NFC Divisional Round Game

The Minnesota Vikings will travel to Levi's Stadium to take on the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. San Francisco is currently a 7-point favorite, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

If you're looking for an alternative way to wager on this one, here are three players with a chance to be the first touchdown scorer come Saturday.

Raheem Mostert has seemingly solidified his hold on the 49ers' backfield, playing at least 50 percent of the snaps in five consecutive games. In fact, he's now scored at least one touchdown in six straight outings, finding the end zone eight times during that span. Assuming Mostert continues to serve as SF's lead back, he's got a solid chance of being the first touchdown scorer against the Vikings.

2. Dalvin Cook, RB, Minnesota Vikings (+700)

Now that he's seemingly back to full health, Dalvin Cook is once again serving as Minnesota's bell cow. Cook handled 31 touches in the Wild Card Game, finding the end zone twice. Despite missing some time this season, Cook led the NFL with 37 carries inside the 10-yard line, and 19 attempts inside the 5-yard line. Cook's getting a ton of work, particularly in high-leverage situations, giving him a good chance at finding the end zone early in this one.

3. Kyle Rudolph, TE, Minnesota Vikings (+1800)

If Cook is the Vikings' primary red zone weapon, Kyle Rudolph is a close second. Rudolph's 13 targets inside the red zone equate to what Stefon Diggs (six) and Adam Thielen (seven) saw combined. He turned those 13 targets into six red zone touchdowns, five of which came from inside the 10-yard line. If the Vikings are in the red zone early, Rudolph certainly has a chance to come away with a touchdown.
