Lions vs. 49ers Conference Championship Round Prop Bet Picks
George Kittle o60.5 receiving yards and o4.5 receptions
Kittle has hit the over for receiving yards for this mark in seven of his last ten games. He also hit the over for receptions in both games, which Deebo Samuel missed this season. If Samuel plays, I will back off the over for his receptions, but the over for his receiving yardage is still a strong bet. Kittle should be second in line to attack Detroit’s single high coverage this week. Since Week 17, Detroit has utilized single-high with 53.7% of their defensive coverage snaps. Against single-high, he has a 20.4% target share, a 24.1% air-yard share, 2.77 YPRR, and a 22.8% first-read share. In the regular season, Detroit allowed the seventh-most receiving yards per game to tight ends.
Christian McCaffrey o35.5 receiving yards and o4.5 receptions
Detroit’s run defense is legit. Look for the 49ers to “run through the air” with McCaffrey getting work in the passing game. I will take the over for his receiving yards, where it’s still available at 35.5. If it continues to get steamed up, I’ll just hammer the over for his receptions, which he has hit in seven of his last ten games. Detroit has allowed the second-highest yards per reception to running backs.
