Christian McCaffrey is central to the San Francisco 49ers offensive attack. He will be in action tonight, Thursday, September 21st, when the 49ers host the New York Giants. There is a Christian McCaffrey player prop embedded in bet365's Super Boost for the game, one that I will quickly evaluate here for those wondering what they should do with the betting line.
New York vs San Francisco Prediction: McCaffrey
Firstly, this is a game that San Francisco is expected to win. They are playing at home against a New York team that will be without Saquon Barkley. The 49ers enter as -10.0 favorites with bet365, a spread that has only moved around very little lately. New York has only played one decent half so far this season and cannot be expected to beat San Francisco tonight.
There is a Super Boost for the game with bet365 available. It takes the form of a same-game parlay. If the 49ers win outright AND if Christian McCaffrey scores a touchdown, then bet365 is offering EVEN odds to bettors that take this Super Boost. The betting odds have been boosted from -190 to +100.
Giants vs 49ers Prediction: Betting Tips
Most will likely be sold on the opinion that San Francisco is going to win this game. How confident can one be in McCaffrey scoring a touchdown? According to his game log, he has scored one in each of the last two games. Furthermore, he has a ton of carries so far this season (42 for 268 yards).
Last season, McCaffrey started with the Carolina Panthers. He moved to San Francisco in October. In 11 regular season games, he had a rushing TD in six games. In three playoff games, he had a rushing touchdown in two games. This season and last season combined he has sixteen San Francisco appearances with ten games that had rushing TDs in. If you focus on more short-term trends, he has rushing touchdowns in eight of his last ten games. This is in addition to his receiving TDs, which are common enough as well.
Super Boosts are generally good bets. This is one that bettors should have more confidence in than others. With game-time approaching, my recommendation is to take the Super Boost.
