George Kittle‘s line is set at 53.5 Yards, with the over and under priced at -114. Kittle, a renowned tight end, is known for his ability to make crucial catches. While his impact in the red zone cannot be understated, the expectation for his total yardage might be on the conservative side. Kittle’s role, often pivotal in crucial moments, might see him having a lower total yardage game but being highly impactful where it counts the most.

Deebo Samuel‘s prop is 59.5 Yards, with the over and under priced at -114. Samuel’s versatility as both a receiver and a rusher makes him a unique threat in the 49ers’ offense. The ambiguity in his role – whether he will be predominantly rushing or receiving in this game – makes this prop a bit more complex. Samuel is expected to be a significant part of the offense. Still, the split between his rushing and receiving yards could affect his ability to clear this specific receiving yard total.

Lastly, we have Brandon Aiyuk, with a line of 67.5 Yards, with the over and under priced at -114. Aiyuk, despite having the highest yardage total to surpass, is viewed as having the best chance to contribute explosive plays. His ability to rack up yardage in large chunks, potentially with a couple of 20-yard receptions, makes him a strong candidate to exceed his prop total. Aiyuk’s role in helping push the ball down the field is crucial to the 49ers’ offensive strategy.

While all three players are expected to be live in the passing game, the best bet seems to be on Brandon Aiyuk. His potential for explosive plays and significant contributions in moving the ball down the field make him the standout choice in this wager. Keep an eye on Deebo Samuel for a more inclusive total yardage prop, and don’t discount George Kittle‘s critical impact in the red zone, even if his total yardage might not be as high.
