Yearly Record: 54-59
Geno Smith Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns +125
With the type of season Geno Smith is having, it’s ridiculous to bet against him. That, and the numbers are pointing to the over. Smith has eleven games over 1.5 passing touchdowns and while he is sloppy with the ball at times, he gets the ball in the end zone. I do understand that the 49ers defense has been playing very well, but Smith is on a heater. In the last seven games, Smith has thrown for over 1.5 touchdowns.
Geno Smith Over 20.5 Completions -125
We’re double dipping on Geno Smith tonight. Much like the over of 1.5 passing touchdowns, the numbers are pointing to over 20.5 completions. In twelve of the thirteen games Smith has played in this year, he’s passed for over 20.5 completions. He’s averaging 23.5 completions a game this year and this evening will be no different. LIFE’S TOO SHORT TO BET THE UNDER.
Christian McCaffrey Over 4.5 Receptions +100
I’ve taken this bet once already this season and it hit for me. He has six games over 4.5 receptions this season and the Seahawks don’t matchup great with him. They’ll probably have either Cody Barton or Jordyn Brooks guard him which doesn’t farewell for Seattle. McCaffrey hasn’t burned me this season and he won’t tonight.
George Kittle Over 38.5 Receiving Yards -115
I mentioned how matchups would be an issue when it came to McCaffrey, but that also applies to tight ends as well. So far this season, the Seahawks have allowed seven tight ends to go for over 38.5 receiving yards. Another wrinkle is that in their first matchup, Kittle didn’t play. He’s a big body player and one of the leagues best tight ends.
Uchenna Nwosu Over 0.5 Sacks +130
The sack over is a risky bet to make, but let me ease your qualms. Nwosu has nine sacks on the season and while a matchup with Trent Williams is imposing, one with Mike McGlinchey is not. McGlinchey has allowed five sacks this season and has a PFF grade of 69.7. If Nwosu sees these matchups, he’ll win them with his quick hands and edge bending ability.
