San Francisco 49ers vs. Los Angeles Rams Player Props: STLCards' Best Bets - Week 4
Greetings, everyone! I am going to bring you a weekly Monday Night Football article that outlines a few of my favorite player props to bet. Tonight, we have an interesting game between the 49ers and Rams to cap off the Week 4 slate, so let’s see what the sportsbooks are offering us this evening!
49ers vs. Rams Player Props & Best Bets
Jimmy Garoppolo Under 225.5 Passing Yards
Current Odds: -122 on FanDuel
San Francisco’s path to potentially winning this game does not involve letting Jimmy Garoppolo air it out with reckless abandon. He threw for just 211 yards in last week’s ugly 11-10 loss to Denver, and you know the 49ers are going to try to establish the run and shorten this football game. I do worry somewhat about them falling behind and being forced to the air, but I think they can keep this game competitive at home. Our projections have Jimmy G around 210 yards tonight, so there’s some solid value in this under bet.
Cam Akers Over 40.5 rushing yards
Current odds: -130 on PointsBet
Akers found himself largely glued to the bench in the first game of the season, as he carried the ball just three times in the opener for the Rams. However, he seems to be working his way back into the good graces of the coaching staff, and he has earned more of a role in the last two games. That includes a solid 12/61/1 rushing line last week, while Darrell Henderson has seen his role and performance dip. This will always be something of a “hot hand” situation, but Akers is clearly the more dangerous runner. We have him projected for 53 rushing yards tonight, making the over on this modest number a solid selection.
Allen Robinson to score a touchdown
Current Odds: +280 on FanDuel
There is no doubt that Robinson hasn’t looked great for his new team, and his best days do appear to be behind him at this point. However, you know the 49ers are going to throw as much coverage as they can at Cooper Kupp, and Robinson can still be a threat in the red zone for Matthew Stafford. He did catch a goal-line touchdown pass in Week 2. At almost 3-to-1 plus odds, I think this is a +EV bet. The odds are too depressed based on his start to the year and the fact that he only scored one touchdown (in a horrific passing offense) a year ago. He’s not going to be a 1,500-yard receiver these days, but he can still find some touchdowns.
