Thursday Night NFL Picks: Seahawks vs. 49ers Prop Predictions 10/18
October 18th, 2012 by | Posted in NFL Football Comments Off on Thursday Night NFL Picks: Seahawks vs. 49ers Prop Predictions 10/18The San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks are set to continue the 2012 NFL season, and as a part of our analysis of the Week 7 betting lines, we are taking a look at some of the best NFL props on the board for this crucial Thursday Night Football matchup.
Zach Miller Receptions Over/Under 2.5: It’s not often that we really like to use fantasy football stats to tell us how to make our bets, but in this case, we’re going to make an exception. Miller has had eight targets over the course of the last three weeks, and he has caught all eight passes. The likelihood of that continuing really is slim to none, especially against a San Francisco defense that ranks eighth in the entire NFL at defending the tight end. Miller is really looked at in short yardage and goal to go situations, but there don’t figure to be all that many of those when push comes to shove. As a result, we have to think about going with Miller’s ‘under’ as a sharp play. Zach Miller Receptions Under 2.5 (-115)
Will Alex Smith Throw an Interception?: Smith was picked off three times last week, and Head Coach Jim Harbaugh did as much as admit the fact that some plays were called that were asking Smith to do more than what he really should have been comfortable doing. This is a team that prides itself on taking care of the ball and playing good defense, and though the sledding could be tough on the ground and Smith is going to have to throw the ball some, we don’t think that he is going to be in a position where he ends up getting picked off more often than not in this game. Remember that Smith only threw five interceptions, and three of his four picks this year came last week. It’s ridiculous that Smith is an underdog to not throw an interception. Alex Smith to Not Throw an Interception (+130)
Will Vernon Davis Score a Touchdown?: This is another one of these percentage props that we love to play, though we know that more often than not, we are going to end up losing them. When they win, they win big. Davis hasn’t had a touchdown now in three straight games, and that’s after getting four trips to the end zone in his first three games this year. However, his targets aren’t down, his receptions are only down a hair, and those are largely in games that have been over by halftime that haven’t required all that many passes coming off of the arm of QB Alex Smith. Davis is still going to be a huge threat against a defense that is aggressive, and not only do we like his chances of getting some love near the red zone, but he could break a long one as well. Vernon Davis to Score a Touchdown +130
David Akers Over/Under 7.5 Points: Akers has consistently been one of the best kickers in the NFL over the course of the last several years, though over the course of the last few weeks he has struggled, making just 4-of-8 attempts. Still, the 49ers are a team that play it close to the vest, and that means quite a few field goal attempts. We’d like to think that tonight, against a sound Seattle defense, that will be the case once again when push comes to shove. Take Akers to get to at least eight points in this one, as that means that the 49ers will get to at least 20 points. David Akers Over 7.5 Points (-130)
