The 49ers are flying up power rankings as the move to get Christian McCaffrey has paid off so far with the team has won three straight games.

San Francisco returns home on Sunday to face a wounded Saints team that is quickly heading towards a rebuild, playing out the season with Andy Dalton at quarterback. While the Niners are big home favorites of over a touchdown, here is how to attack the prop market for this game:

Best NFL Prop Bets for Saints vs. 49ers

  • Brandon Aiyuk to Score a Touchdown
  • Taysom Hill to Score a Touchdown
  • Juwan Johnson to Score a Touchdown

Brandon Aiyuk to Score a Touchdown

Aiyuk is fresh off a two touchdown performance on Monday night against the Cardinals, so while it seems like you are paying a premimum for him, he's still a valuable bet to score a touchdown as he is tied for the 11th most red zone targets in the NFL with 11 on the season.

New Orleans is top 10 in terms of success rate against the pass, but they are vulnerable to giving up chunk plays through the air, 20th in EPA/Pass. I like Ayiuk to stay hot and grab another touchdown.

Taysom Hill to Score a Touchdown

Hill has 52 carries on the season as a wildcat rusher and is fresh off a 12 carry performance against a physical Rams defensive line. In close, we know that Hill is going to get a touch, and at these numbers this is underrating his ability to get in the end zone.

He hasn't scored a touchdown since October 9th against Seattle, but he is averaging more than five carries per game since then, still involved in the game plan. I'll buy the dip and take Hill to find the end zone.

Juwan Johnson to Score a Touchdown

Johnson has five touchdowns in as many games and 31 catches on the season. The Saints offense has left a lot to be desired, but it’s clear that the tight end has become one of if not the favorite target of Andy Dalton. 

Catching 8.5 points, New Orleans is likely going to face a negative game script making this long odds anytime touchdown scorer an attractive choice to find the end zone for six times in six games.
