SF at OAK Prop Bets

Odds c/o Bovada
Colin Kaepernick 225.5 Passing Yards O/U
Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers average 210.5 passing yards per game, but the Oakland Raiders surrender 228.9 passing yards per game, which ranks 9th best in the NFL.
It should be easy for the Raiders to limit Kaepernick to 220 yards or less, which makes this a nice UNDER. Kap has thrown for 201, 208 and 245 yards respectively in his last three games against Kansas City, Philadelphia and Arizona. If he sees a lot of attempts as he did in the losses to the Bears and Cardinals, he’ll be good for 240-plus, but that seems unlikely.
Colin Kaepernick Total TDs 1.5 O/U
Kapernick threw one TD last week, and two the week prior. He’s averaged 1.4 TDs over his past five games and I like the UNDER on this bet. He seems primed for a one TD game as Frank Gore gets the majority of the red zone action.
Frank Gore 62.5 Rushing Yards
Frank Gore had struggled this season but really has shown signs the last two weeks. Despite averaging just 3.9 yards per carry on the season, Gore has been good for 5.0 and 5.9 in wins over Philly and Kansas City. He had 119 yards on 24 carries in the win over Philly and another 107 yards on 18 carries against Kansas City.
Vs the Eagles, he had 55 reception yards as well, which should continue to open up the field for him. Most impressively, Gore did not fumble once in all five of the last contests, while he did manage just one TD, though. OVER.
Derek Carr 185.5 Passing Yards
Derek Carr had a nice game last week against the San Diego Chargers but NFL oddsmakers don’t expect that continue. Carr threw for 282 yards last week on 52 percent completions, but he was under 180 yards in three of the four games prior to that. He’s only thrown for more than 6.5 yards per attempt in one of the last five games, last week.
Carr may have managed four TDs last week, but that was definitely an aberration from a 1-11 Raiders team that just doesn’t pose much of a threat offensively. UNDER.
