CMC to score 2+ TDs +200

What do we really need to say about this? Christian McCaffrey has been an absolute beast and touchdown machine since he was traded to the 49ers during the middle of last season. CMC has found the end zone in 24 of his previous 27 games, essentially cashing anytime TD tickets at will. In his last 27 games, McCaffery has scored a whopping 35 times! McCaffery has taken the 49ers offense to new heights and is an integral part of how Kyle Shanahan runs his offense. McCaffery has scored four times in the 49ers two postseason games. You could lay the juice for an anytime TD at -280, or, take a shot at CMC to find the end zone twice in the big game – just as he has in each of the 49ers previous two playoff games.

Travis Kelce Anytime TD +105

After middling at times during the regular season, Travis Kelce has turned things on as of late and is once again looking like the most dominant tight end in football. It’s hard to believe that Kelce only found the end zone five times during the regular season – especially considering that he’s scored three times during the NFL postseason and looking like his old self in the process. Kelce logged two touchdowns in the Chiefs win over the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. He added another against Baltimore in the AFC Championship game. When things are smooth sailing, as they appear to be now, Kelce is Patrick Mahomes’ security blanket. Throughout this game, Mahomes will look for his top guy in or around the end zone. Let’s play the Kelce anytime TD at a plus number and trust Mahomes to find his guy in the end zone at one point or another throughout the game. Kelce has scored two touchdowns in the big game for his career, including one last year against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Total Number of Different 49ers to score 3.5: Under -120

How many times can the 49ers score throughout the course of the game? With the over-under hovering around 47.5, and the spread currently at -2.0, there’s not much room for either team to score more than three touchdowns in total. If that logic holds true, be very leery of the over on this one. Christian McCaffery will get most of the looks when near the goal line, and there’s a good chance he will find the end zone on more than one occasion. Beyond McCaffery, it’s a bit of a crapshoot of where the 49ers will score their points. Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk both scored seven touchdowns each during the season. While Samuel is expected to play, he’s been nursing some injuries throughout the postseason, hasn’t scored in his last three games, and has just one touchdown in his last five games. Aiyuk scored against Detroit but has only had two touchdowns in his last seven games played. Outside of McCaffery, Aiyuk, and Samuel, George Kittle is red zone option, but he only logged six touchdowns of his own during the season. The only player that is sure to get consistent looks in the red zone is McCaffery; everything beyond that is a roll of the dice for San Francisco. The Niners might score four different times, but the odds that four separate players score them seem dicey.
