The Christian McCaffrey Player Props You Need to Bet in the NFC Championship

Welcome to the NFL’s Championship round! Four teams remain to vie out for the champion of the NFL so our betting opportunities are running out. A total of three games remain, this weekend’s conference championships and the magnum opus that will be Super Bowl LVIII.

We’re bringing you betting content all week long, from our best NFL props, our +1720 Superstar TD Parlay, best NFL bets and plenty more. The sportsbooks are drumming up all kinds of unique player markets for this weekend and we’re helping you cut through the noise by finding three data-backed props you need to bet on.

The kicker? They’re all based on stud running back Christian McCaffrey.

Get $350 in Bonus Bets for the NFL Playoffs

Before we get started, you’ll need two sportsbooks to make these plays: DraftKings and FanDuel. Each book has its perks which you can learn about here in our best sportsbooks section, but for now, you can secure up to $350 in bonus bets if you don’t have these books.

Hit the offers below to cash in for just a $10 total investment, or head down to our props analysis if you’ve already got both.

Bet #1: Christian McCaffery to Have the Most Rushing Yards of the Weekend (+150 on DraftKings)

The first bet we recommend placing is on McCaffrey to lead all players in rushing yards this weekend. He is by far our highest projected rusher with a 100-yard projection from DimersBOT. The Lions rushing defense was one of the best in the league, but so is Christian McCaffrey. Something’s gotta give in this one.

The next highest projected rushers are Isiah Pacheco (KC) at 75 rushing yards, Jahmyr Gibbs (DET) with 65 yards and Lamar Jackson (BAL) with 54. You might like the value on the others, but our model supports McCaffrey at his plus-money odds.

You’ll find this one under Weekly Leaders in the Championship Specials tab on DraftKings.

Bet #2: Christian McCaffrey 120+ Total Yards and Brock Purdy 250+ Passing Yards (+175 on DraftKings)

Another prop that’s backed by that same rushing projection, this one is on a pair of Niners teammates. As mentioned we project CMC for 100 rushing yards, but on top of that, he gets a 46 receiving yards projection, clearing his leg with ease.

QB Brock Purdy just cleared this mark in the Divisional Round against the Packers with a 252-yard performance, but our model projects a much better game for him this time around with a 303-yard projection as of this writing.

You’ll find this bet as the first Lions-49ers prop under Player Specials in the Championship Specials tab on DraftKings.

Bet #3: C. McCaffrey, J. Gibbs, L. Jackson and I. Pacheco to Each Score 1+ Rushing TD (+2100 on FanDuel)

Now this one might seem too good to be true at these odds, and it almost is, because there’s a catch.

If you parlay these four touchdown scorers together, you’ll get a parlay of +1389 on FanDuel and as low as +980 on some other books. So why is this special priced at +2100? Because these touchdowns must specifically be scored via the rush. That takes all pass plays out of the equation which could impact guys, particularly like Gibbs and Pacheco who get a good bit of receiving work.

However, our model gives them all significant probabilities to score, so if you’re looking for a fun bet to sprinkle some lunch money on, this will be a fun one to watch, with a big potential payout.

Here’s our model’s probabilities for each player to score an anytime touchdown

C. McCaffrey: 83.4%

L. Jackson: 74.9

I. Pacheco: 50.0%

J. Gibbs: 45.6%

This prop is located in FanDuel’s Weekly Specials underneath their Championship Specials section.
