The Niners have emerged as a NFC contender and now travel to Atlanta to face a frisky Falcons team.

George Kittle has had a slow start to the season after battling some preseason injuries, but he is in a prime spot on Sunday afternoon to have a breakout game against a Falcons defense that has struggled against tight ends.

We have you covered with three prop bets for 49ers vs. Falcons, but you can also check out our full betting preview here:

3 Best Prop Bets for 49ers vs. Falcons

  • George Kittle OVER 45.5 Receiving Yards
  • Brandon Aiyuk Anytime Touchdown Scorer
  • Marcus Mariota Anytime Touchdown Scorer

George Kittle OVER 44.5 Receiving Yards

Kittle has had a slow start to the season after missing the first handful of games. He has 11 catches for 99 yards in three starts on the year, but it feels like this is the time for the 49ers star tight end to get going.

Players including Tyler Higbee and David Njoku have gone over 70 receiving yards this season against a Falcons defense that is second to last in dropback success rate.

I think this is the breakout game for Kittle, but to help you feel more comfortable, he went over this mark last week.

Brandon Aiyuk Anytime Touchdown Scorer

Ayiuk only has one touchdown to his name this season, but he has been involved plenty, averaging more than five targets per game and is the vertical threat in this Niners offense. Again, this is a poor Falcons secondary that is allowing a ton of passing yards, I think Ayiuk is worth a stab considering he is one of two receivers that is on the field at all times.

Marcus Mariota Anytime Touchdown Scorer

With Cordarrelle Patterson injured, the Falcons are unproven at running back, helping the cause that Mariota is keeping the rock at the goal line. Not only did he rush seven times for 61 yards in the Falcons loss to the Buccaneers last week, he has two touchdowns on the ground this season.

Not to mention, the Niners rush defense has been fantastic this season, posting the best success rate on the season. I think Arthur Smith is going to ditch the running game and Mariota is going to be in passing situations a ton, which can lead to scrambles and touchdowns around the goal line.
