The Giants arrive in Los Angeles after a better Week 1 result, beating Dallas 28-20 while the Rams were handled 27-7 by San Francisco in Australia. New York controlled the ball and Jaxson Dart threw 3 touchdown passes, but the touchdown-scorer market does not carry over the results from last week, and there is a fresh board to look at this week. Here, we break down the Giants vs Rams anytime TD scorer market and make our pick for one player to hit paydirt in LA.
Rams Expected to Do the Most Scoring
Polymarket’s game prices tell a useful story before getting to the individual scorer. The Rams are 74¢ to win, the main spread is Los Angeles -7.5 at 48¢, and the 47.5-point Over is 51¢. Using the spread and total as a rough scoring framework puts Los Angeles near 27.5 points. That means the Rams are expected to get the bulk of the scoring opportunities in this matchup.
Regression Expected Both Ways
The Giants looked great at home in their first game of the season against an inconsistent Cowboys team, while the Rams struggled due to some extreme travel circumstances in Australia against the 49ers. With the Rams back at home and with a rest advantage, they should look much better, making their players better looks in the touchdown scorer market.

Why Our Model Sees Value:
“Williams kept the Rams’ highest-value scoring role even with Blake Corum taking meaningful work. He handled all 4 red-zone rushing attempts with the starting offense in Week 1 and scored Los Angeles’ only touchdown.”
Williams had 11 carries for 41 yards against San Francisco, while Corum had 10 carries. The split looks close, yet Williams played 63.2% of the offensive snaps, caught 3 passes for 24 yards, and handled all 4 red-zone rushing attempts with the starters. He finished with the Rams’ lone touchdown.
That role matters more than raw carry count in a scorer market. Corum can take work between the 20s without removing Williams from the highest-value snaps. Williams also scored 13 total touchdowns in 2025, with 10 rushing and 3 receiving scores across 17 games.
New York’s 28-20 win over Dallas was encouraging, but its run defense gave up the third-highest rushing success rate in Week 1. The Giants also ranked 13th-highest in yards after contact allowed per attempt and 16th in stuff rate. It is only a 1-game sample, so those figures aren't a given from week to week, but they support our Giants vs Rams prediction that the Rams will win, while Williams stays involved near the goal line.
The 7.5-point spread at Polymarket also favors a more comfortable Rams game script. A Los Angeles lead would preserve Williams' rushing volume and create more chances for Williams to finish drives.
Corum is the clearest threat to Williams scoring. His 10 carries in Week 1 confirm that the Rams intend to reduce Williams’ total workload. Current projections put Williams at roughly 51.6% of the Rams’ red-zone carries this week, down from a 63.6% red-zone rushing share since the start of last season. Corum can steal a short score.
The other concern is drive quality. Los Angeles went 2-for-9 on third downs against San Francisco and scored only 7 points. If that problem carries over, Williams may not receive enough goal-line chances for his role to matter.
Williams is more than a short-yardage runner. He caught all 3 of his Week 1 targets, while his 2025 production included 36 receptions for 281 yards and 3 receiving touchdowns. That receiving usage gives him another scoring path if New York crowds the box.
The overall case is built on concentrated scoring opportunity. Williams has scored in 6 of his last 10 games, the Rams are clear home favorites in the current prediction market, and the total remains high enough to support multiple touchdown chances for him. A 67% model probability leaves a 4% edge at a 63¢ entry price while still accounting for Corum’s expanded role and the Rams’ poor Week 1 efficiency.
