Levi’s Stadium will be the battleground for the Indianapolis Colts (2-4) and San Francisco 49ers (2-3) Sunday night. Kickoff form Santa Clara is scheduled for 8:20pm ET on NBC. Rain is expected as well, as winds above 10 mph with temperatures in the low 60s.

The Colts put a smackdown on the hapless Houston Texans 31-3 in Week 6. Jonathan Taylor ran wild in the win to the tune of 145 yards and two touchdowns while also catching a pass for 13 yards. The 49ers lost their last time out but thanks to a bye in Week 6 they now have a healthy Jimmy Garoppolo under center.

At the time of writing, the 49ers are 4.5-point favorites although that number could move. The total is sitting at 44 and may not go much higher due to weather concerns.  As always, there are plenty of player props to consider.

Odds as of Oct. 24 at DraftKings.

Jonathan Taylor Can Catch

Since we’re expecting rain Sunday night, we are going to get different types of lines. The running backs’ numbers will be inflated and the quarterbacks’ lines will be lower than normal. Common logic will tell you that Jonathan Taylor’s rushing total is the way to go. I think we should look at his receiving props.

Coming out of college Taylor was viewed as a bell-cow running back that would have minimal use in the pass game. While he is a great between-the-tackles guy, people forget he can catch too. The Colts know the deal though, as he’s been targeted at least three times in four of six games this season.

One thing the 49ers do well is stop the run. Only two teams have allowed less rushing yards to the running back position so far in 2021. In the pouring rain they should be even more stout since the deep ball will be taken away by Mother Nature. If I had to guess, I’d bet that the Colts will still try to get the ball into Taylor’s hands but they will try to do it in the short passing game.

With his reception number where it is, he’ll only need to catch two balls to get home on this number. He’s already done that in half the games this season. I think he does it again Sunday night.

  • The Pick: Jonathan Taylor Over 1.5 Receptions (+120) – Wager 1 unit to win 1.2 units
  • SBD 2021 NFL Player Props Record – 8-12 -2.98 Units

Who Scores?

Sunday Night Football games were made for touchdown scorer props. That’s just how these games work. Luckily for us, even though the weather is supposed to be disgusting, we can still take a wide receiver to score a touchdown.

That’s because Deebo Samuel is no ordinary wide receiver.

The thing with Samuel is he can score a touchdown on the ground or through the air. So far this season no team in the NFL has given up more receiving touchdowns to wide receivers than the Colts. I know it will be a wet one, but with the way the 49ers use Deebo in the red zone, this one could come on the ground just as easy as it comes through the air.

  • Pick: Deebo Samuel – Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+110): Wager .1 unit to win 0.11 unit
  • 2021 Touchdown Scorer prop record: 9-11, +0.25 units
