NFL Prop Bets Payday: 4 Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers prop predictions

Highlighting four Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers prop bet predictions ahead of their Week 9 Thursday Night Football matchup.

The Green Bay Packers (5-2) and San Francisco 49ers (4-4) meet at Levi’s Stadium on Thursday Night Football in Week 9, but both teams will look much different than most will expect. Injuries and COVID-19 have ravaged the starting rosters and plenty of less recognizable faces will be stepping up in primetime for the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Below, we give you five prop bet predictions to consider for the Packers-49ers Thursday Night Football matchup from the BetMGM game menu.

Packers at 49ers prop bets to make for Thursday Night Football

49ers QB Nick Mullens OVER 20.5 completions (+125)

The 49ers are without their top three wide receivers in Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Kendrick Bourne after Bourne tested positive for COVID Wednesday. TEs George Kittle and Jordan Reed are also sidelined by injuries. Most teams would lean on the running game in this situation, but the 49ers are also without Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman and Jeff Wilson.

Mullens, who’s filling in for injured QB Jimmy Garoppolo, should throw close to 40 times with negative game script against Rodgers. If so, he’ll be likely to go OVER 20.5 (+125) completions, and that’s where the better value lies.

49ers RB Jerick McKinnon OVER 59.5 rushing+receiving yards (-110)

McKinnon has twice topped 40 receiving yards this season with other totals of 20 and 39 yards. He’ll be leaned on as Mullens’ top healthy target and in a game script that’ll force the 49ers to throw. This is a very low line and a high-confidence bet.

Packers TE Robert Tonyan and 49ers RB Jerick McKinnon both to record 50+ receiving yards (+1000)

McKinnon should be the No. 1 target for Mullens Thursday night and Tonyan has developed into Rodgers’ No. 2 or 3 option in most matchups. With Green Bay’s backfield an underwhelming pair of replacements, look for Rodgers to help run the clock with throws to his big tight end in the middle of the field.

Mullens to score 49ers’ first touchdown (+1100)

Mullens has made 10 career starts with 13 total appearances. He has experience and will be able to keep San Francisco in this game for at least a short while.

We often see overmatched quarterbacks on injury-riddled teams look to do a little more on their own, especially near the goal line. There’s a good chance this will be the case for the third-year backup and the 11-1 payout offers plenty of incentive for a small bet on Mullens to score the Niners’ first – and likely only – touchdown of the game.

I’d hedge with a smaller bet on No San Francisco Touchdown at +1000.

NFL Prop Bet Payday: 5 Denver Broncos prop bets to make for Week 4

Highlighting 5 prop bets to make on the Denver Broncos for their Week 4 Thursday Night Football matchup against the New York Jets.

Two of the NFL’s six 0-3 teams meet for Thursday Night Football when the Denver Broncos visit the New York Jets. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Here are five Broncos team and player prop bets to consider for Week 4.

5 Denver Broncos prop bets to make for Week 4

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at noon ET.

First-half total UNDER 20.5 points (-134)

Scoring is up across the league and Overs have been cashing on the totals, but these two injury-addled teams haven’t received the memo.

At a measly 12.3 points per game, the Jets are the league’s lowest-scoring team. The Broncos are close behind at No. 30, averaging 15 points per outing, and are already starting their third quarterback of the season in undrafted second-year player Brett Rypien on a short week in a primetime road game.

Both Denver and New York fell behind early a week ago due to costly first-quarter miscues – a blocked punt for the Broncos and a pick-six for the Jets – so look for both offenses to play it real close to the vest early to try and avoid falling into an early hole.

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon OVER 18.5 rushing attempts (+100)

With a new quarterback on the road and Broncos QBs having absorbed 13 sacks and 29 QB hits over the previous two games, look for a run-heavy game script from the Broncos Thursday night.

This would mean a big dose of Gordon with Denver’s other top back, Phillip Lindsay, listed as doubtful and expected to miss his third straight contest due to a foot injury.

Bradley Chubb UNDER 4.5 combined tackles/assists (-143)

Chubb is off to a slow start as he recovers from an ACL tear suffered a year ago in Week 4 of the 2019 season.

He has totaled only six solo tackles with no assists so far in three games, and we’ll roll with the odds and bank on another quiet outing here.

Neither team will score 3 unanswered times: TDs, field goals, safeties only (+175)

In this long-standing prop, the smart money is typically on the “Yes,” and it’s priced as such at -250.

If we’re truly banking on a tight, low-scoring game, this is the place to take a shot on the “No.”

Neither team to score 20 points in the game (+300)

We complete the low-scoring prop trilogy here by taking a plus-value run at “None of the above.”

Only three of the league’s 36 games played so far have ended with both teams failing to put up 20 points, but one of them was the Broncos’ 16-14 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 1. The Jets, meanwhile, have yet to score 20 points in any of their three contests.

Given the early-season evidence, going with the “No” is a reasonable plus-value prop gamble here.
