Falcons vs 49ers player prop bet: Christian McCaffrey Under 17.5 rush attempts (-115)
Odds available at Bet365 at time of publishing.
Don’t laugh just yet. Fading Christian McCaffrey is not for the weak, but remember, we’re betting numbers and prices, not players. Much like Bet365 and BetMGM, they are late when pricing out props. All the major books have McCaffrey’s rush attempts line at 16.5, with vig on the under. FanDuel, notoriously known for being one of the sharpest books regarding player props, has McCaffrey under 16.5 rush attempts priced at -130. So, at under 17.5 with an even better price, we will take advantage of that every day of the week.
Apart from attacking this prop for just the number and price, which is fine, let’s dive into why we’re fading the All-Pro back. The Falcons rank 2nd in football in time of possession behind the Buffalo Bills, a team they beat on Monday Night. Bijan Robinson was sensational and is eyeing the OPOY award, while Michael Penix Jr. looked the part, which included completing 7 of 11 in the 4th quarter in a positive game script. They have the means to control the game and leave the 49ers in a negative game script, relying on Mac Jones slinging the ball to George Kittle, who makes his awaited return from a Week 1 injury, and McCaffrey through the air.
Feel free to play this prop down to under 16.5 rush attempts, with the best price coming via DraftKings at -105 – Much better than what FanDuel is offering.
