Christian McCaffrey Rushing Yards Prop

Legal NFL betting sites have set the Christian McCaffrey rushing yard prop below his 67.5 yards average from this season.

Rushing Yards Prop for Christian McCaffrey Odds

• Over 64.5 Rushing Yards -115
• Under 64.5 Rushing Yards -115

Not only is the 64.5 rushing prop for CMC lower than his average this season, but it also pales in comparison to how he has performed with Brock Purdy at quarterback.

Since Purdy took over in Week 14, many different trends suggest that players should at least take the over for 64.5 yards, with the option to raise McCaffrey’s prop at Bovada via the Rushing Yards (At Least) certainly worthy of consideration as well:

• Christian McCaffrey’s Rushing Yards Averages with Brock Purdy: 16.5 Carries for 93 Yards per Game on 5.75 YPC
• McCaffrey has at least 108 rushing yards in four of his six games with Purdy
• The only two games that CMC did not rush for 108 yards or more were 49ers wins of at least 17 points (SF is favored by 3.5-points versus the Dallas Cowboys)

Christian McCaffrey has benefited from Brock Purdy under center (and gaining experience in the 49ers offense), and he takes on a Cowboys defense that ranked 22nd in rushing yards allowed per game.

With his uptick in production with Brock Purdy and relatively easy matchup against Dallas’s run defense, bettors may want to sprinkle some bets on the alternate Christian McCaffrey rushing props via the Bovada Rushing Yards (At Least) bet:

• McCaffrey to rush for at least 57 yards: -501
• McCaffrey to rush for at least 67 yards: -114
• McCaffrey to rush for at least 77 yards: +108
• McCaffrey to rush for at least 87 yards: +127
• McCaffrey to rush for at least 97 yards: +173
• McCaffrey to rush for at least 107 yards: +300
• McCaffrey to rush for at least 117 yards: +470
• McCaffrey to rush for at least 127 yards: +719

Other Christian McCaffrey Props

Christian McCaffrey does not just run the ball, with one of his best traits being his versatility out of the backfield.

Legal sports betting sites show that same level of versatility with all of their Christian McCaffrey props against the Cowboys:

• Christian McCaffrey Anytime Touchdown Scorer: -162
• Christian McCaffrey Receiving Yards Prop: 35.5 (Over -115; Under -115)
• Christian McCaffrey Longest Reception Prop: 14.5 (Over -120; Under -110)
• Christian McCaffrey Total Yards Prop: 105.5 (Over -115; Under -115)

McCaffrey has scored a touchdown in all six games with Brock Purdy under center, so taking him to score a touchdown is likely to be a relatively safe wager.

His receiving trends with Purdy suggest bettors either stick to the rushing yards prop or bet on McCaffrey’s total yards prop instead:

• McCaffrey has only one game with at least 35.5 receiving yards with Brock Purdy.
• McCaffrey has averaged 4.5 targets, 3.5 receptions, and 33.17 receiving yards with Purdy.
• McCaffrey averaged 6.67 targets, 5.5 receptions, and 47 receiving yards with Purdy’s predecessor, Jimmy Garoppolo.
