Closing out the Sunday Week 7 slate are two of the NFL’s best RBs - Atlanta Falcons’ Bijan Robinson and San Francisco 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey.

NFL Picks, Predictions & Best Bets for Sunday Night Football, 10/19

At this point in the season, it’s on a weekly basis where we can say a matchup is a potential NFC Championship Game preview or something similar. However, not only are the aforementioned stars on the field, but these are also two teams that could potentially win their respective divisions.

That said, the 49ers continue to be decimated by injury, whereas the Falcons are coming off a massive Monday Night Football victory over Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, a team many would consider to be the overall Super Bowl favorites. The game also plays a significant role in how to approach NFL best bets for Sunday Night Football.

Of course, we still have plenty to discuss regarding both teams, and unfortunately, too much of it is injury-related.
 

 

 

Sunday Night Football Prediction for Falcons vs. 49ers

Outside of the side of relief that 49ers fans have, knowing that at least Christian McCaffrey is healthy, that’s about it. They’ve gone back-and-forth with QBs Mac Jones and Brock Purdy multiple times already, several outside weapons like George Kittle and Ricky Pearsall have missed time, and that’s not even mentioning the defense.

Two of the best defenders in the entire NFL - not just on the 49ers - Nick Bosa and Fred Warner are now done for the season. Meanwhile, the Falcons are about as healthy as a team can be by Week 7, and speaking of defense, theirs has been remarkably (and surprisingly to most) strong this season.

That was on full display on Monday Night Football, holding Josh Allen, James Cook, and the rest of the Bills to just 14 points. In fact, Atlanta’s other prime time game (another Sunday Night Football game in Week 2) they allowed just six points. Therefore, that has to be a recipe for all NFL best bets for Sunday Night Football to be focused on the Falcons, right?

Well, even with all that in mind, the latest Falcons vs. 49ers odds still favor San Francisco! So, it’s time to dive deeper into other markets to really nail down the top pick from our NFL best bets for Sunday Night Football.  
 

 

 

Falcons vs. 49ers Best Bet for NFL Week 7: Christian McCaffrey Over 60.5 Rushing Yards (-115 at Onyx Odds)

While the Falcons' defense has been stifling, that’s what the 49ers have been known for the past handful of seasons or so - beyond CMC, of course. So, many fans may be surprised by the fact that they actually allowed 24 rushing TDs last year, the second-most in the NFL.

That’s bad news facing Bijan Robinson in general, let alone when he’s coming off a game in which he ran for 170 yards. Thankfully for their sake, it hasn’t been nearly as bad, but what is a major concern is their outside threats. Christian McCaffrey may not be running like Bijan right now, but he leads the team in receiving.

Although impressive, it’s not exactly ideal. It’s been tough sledding on the ground for him primarily because the 49ers rank 31st out of 32 teams in terms of run block win rate. That again is bad news when facing a Falcons defense that allows the absolute fewest yards per game.

While that last statement may cause hesitation in backing our NFL best bets for Sunday Night Football, the line for CMC has been getting less and less week by week, and now’s the time to pounce. One of the primary reasons for Atlanta allowing such few yards per game is their pass defense, which allows just 139.4 yards per game.

On the ground, they’re still allowing 114 yards per game, which is in the middle of the pack. That’s what helped our pick on James Cook on MNF come through, as he rushed for 87 yards. If he can, so can CMC, so the top pick from our NFL best bets for Sunday Night Football is Christian McCaffrey over 60.5 rushing yards (-115 at Onyx Odds).
