Renowned analyst Warren Sharp has shed some light on a tantalizing bet involving Warner. Sharp notes, “You can find this at some long odds, over 10 to 1. I got it at 12 to 1. But there’s a prop out there – will Fred Warner record an interception?”

Sharp’s interest in this prop bet stems from a specific pattern in Lions’ quarterback Jared Goff‘s performance. “In Jared Goff’s five losses this year, he’s thrown at least one interception in four. Four of his last five interceptions have come when he’s been targeting either his big tight end or a running back out of the backfield.” The return of Sam Laporta, albeit not at full strength, further intensifies this scenario. “He was targeted a ton last week, a lot more than I expected him to be,” Sharp points out, underscoring Laporta’s vulnerability against a player of Warner’s caliber.

The strategic approach of the Lions, who favor throwing over the middle, plays into the strengths of the 49ers’ defense, particularly Warner. “The Lions throw the ball over the middle of the field more than any other team in the NFL,” Sharp elaborates. “But they’re finally going up against a defense in the 49ers that ranks top five in defending these types of passes.” The statistics are particularly telling: the 49ers have allowed only six touchdowns to 17 interceptions on such passes. Remarkably, Fred Warner has snagged four of those 17, a team-high.
Given these insights, Sharp sees a valuable opportunity in betting on Warner to intercept a pass. “We might be able to see Warner matched up in coverage a bit or him jumping some of these targets going to Sam Laporta,” he suggests. “There’s a good chance he could be involved in a lot of these plays going over the middle, potentially in coverage to Sam Laporta.”
While acknowledging the high odds, Sharp encourages a cautious yet optimistic wager: “They don’t take high limits on pay bets that pay out this much. But I’m looking to place a little bit of a long shot wager on Fred Warner to record an interception.” This player prop presents an intriguing aspect to the Detroit Lions vs. San Francisco 49ers matchup, offering a potentially rewarding bet for those willing to take the risk.
