The 5 Best Prop Bets for 49ers/Giants
#SurvivingMetLife
Niners Nation bettors! We get to sweat Sunday out on the most infamous turf in the league. The first four weeks of this series have gone well, we’re currently sitting at 12-7-1, still hunting for that elusive 5-0 week. Can we get it done against the Giants? Let’s get into the props (via @DKSportsbook)
Christian McCaffrey Under 78.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Despite the excellent overall performance he’s put on week in and week out to this point, CMC has only crossed this threshold in one game. Which is due in large part to his prolific receiving work. The Giants defensive line is their best unit on either side of the ball, and one of the best in the NFL. See my post game grading for what little regard I have for the quality of 49ers offensive line play. It’s been far more bad than good. McCaffrey is the man, but he needs rushing lanes to make it happen. Hate to do it but we’ll bet the under here.
Jauan Jennings 4+ Receptions (-186)
An uncharacteristic case of the drops aside, Jennings has been soaking up more and more of the team’s passing equity the last two weeks. Seeing seven targets which yielded four catches per game. The Giants secondary is in shambles, Kendrick Bourne has not been what he was his first few weeks either. I expect a six target floor in this one. With Jennings only getting healthier, he shouldn’t have an issue snagging at least four of them. Third and Jauan is back on the menu boys! (Jennings propaganda and Lord of the Rings quotes, the best combination ever)
Theo Johnson 4+ Receptions (-109)
The 49ers safety play has been abysmal. Dee Winters, who isn’t great in coverage as it is, has been banged up as well. This prop would have hit five out of eight weeks against the Niners this year. Since rookie QB Jaxson Dart took over in week four, Johnson has four or more receptions each of his starts. Pick up the free money and smash this one.
Tyrone Tracy 15+ Receiving Yards (-137)
Best wishes to Cam Skattebo in his recovery, but the world keeps on spinning after a major injury. Dart was more than willing to utilize the running back as a target with Cam in there. The converted college receiver in Tracy should have no issue filling that void. There should be plenty of cause to pass in a game with a 48.5 O/U, this one feels like easy money. If you wanted to parlay that with 3+ receptions at -129, you have my full permission to do so. The 2 legger would payout +207.
Eddy Pineiro Over 1.5 Field Goals Made (-135)
Nothing better in the world than a kicker prop! Both of these offenses are banged up and underperforming. Neither of the defenses are notable. There’s a 48.5 O/U as mentioned above. That spells yardage being fairly easy to come by despite the offensive health concerns. Eddy Pineiro has yet to miss a 2025 field goal attempt; he’s attempted just over 2.4 per game. If you exclude the Texans dud, that figure is just under three per. The Giants are no Texans out there defensively. This feels like stealing.
Hopefully there are a few out there who have been tailing us. Best of luck this weekend, I look forward to serving in the degenerate trenches with you all for yet another Sunday war.
