The late afternoon window in Week 13 is absolutely loaded. It’s highlighted by the Chiefs-Bengals clash, but also features a projected shootout between the Chargers and Raiders, along with the Dolphins-49ers tilt.

The last game of that list has our attention in the Week 13 player props, and we’ve put together a card highlighting our favorite bets. It starts by backing Miami’s Jaylen Waddle, who should see plenty of volume against a tough San Fran defense.

Waddle has a receptions over/under prop of 5.5, which is two less than teammate Tyreek Hill’s. Both players are plus-money to go over their prop, a number that Waddle has cleared three times this season.

Dolphins vs 49ers Prop #1: Waddle Over 5.5 Rec and 67.5 Rec Yards

The Dolphins are 4-point underdogs, so right away game script should favor a pass-heavy approach assuming they’re playing from behind. Miami ranks sixth in pass rate over expectation this season, while the Niners top-two run defense should neutralize any Dolphins run game threat, forcing them to the air regardless of script.

San Fran also features a fantastic pass rush, which shouldn’t leave Tua Tagovailoa too much time to throw. He’ll need to target quick-hitting slants and crossers, and no Miami receiver does that better than Waddle.

The sophomore receiver has seen 46 targets over his last six games, reaching at least 68 receiving yards in all but one of those matchups.

Pick: Jaylen Waddle Over 5.5 Receptions (+105), 1 unit, Over 67.5 Receiving Yards (-115), 1 unit

Dolphins vs 49ers Prop #2: Jimmy Garoppolo Under 0.5 Interceptions

Jimmy Garoppolo makes mistakes most often when teams can get home with just four rushers and drop seven players back in coverage. Against the blitz, he actually performs quite well because he identifies his hot route quickly or simply checks it down.

Only six teams blitz at a higher rate than Miami, while the Dolphins have racked up interceptions in just three of 11 games so far this season. Jimmy G meanwhile, has thrown an INT in only three of 11 starts. He’s going to feast on Miami over the middle of the field when they send extra rushers.

Pick: Jimmy Garoppolo Under 0.5 Interceptions (-115), 1 unit

Dolphins vs 49ers TD Props

Player Odds to Score 1st TD Odds to Score Anytime TD
Christian McCaffrey (SF) +425 -160
Deebo Samuel (SF) +650 +105
Brandon Aiyuk (SF) +800 +130
Jeff Wilson Jr. (MIA) +850 +115
Jordan Mason (SF) +850 +140
George Kittle (SF) +900 +155
Tyrion Davis-Price (SF) +950 +165
Tyreek Hill (MIA) +1000 +140
Jaylen Waddle (MIA) +1100 +150
Raheem Mostert (MIA) +1200 +180
Jauan Jennings (SF) +1400 +250
Mike Gesicki (MIA) +2000 +310
49ers Defense +2500 +500
Jimmy Garoppolo (SF) +2800 +550
Tua Tagovailoa (MIA) +3000 +550
Kyle Juszczyk (SF) +3500 +700
Dolphins Defense +3500 +600

As far as the anytime touchdown market goes, Christian McCaffrey has the shortest odds to score at -160. His teammate George Kittle isn’t too far behind, and this is a mouth-watering matchup for the tight end.

Dolphins vs 49ers Prop #3: George Kittle Anytime TD

If Jimmy G is going to be peppering pass catchers over the middle, Kittle should have a big day. The Niners’ tight end is a matchup nightmare when San Fran sends him out on routes, and a tilt versus the Dolphins is the perfect time to do so.

Team REC YDS TD
Arizona Cardinals 83 880 9
Seattle Seahawks 80 711 6
Miami Dolphins 85 643 7
Detroit Lions 72 616 7
New England Patriots 50 503 8

Miami has surrendered the third most production to enemy tight ends, and has coughed up seven touchdowns to that position. Kittle has scored four times in his past five games, and is a strong bet to find the end zone again on Sunday.

Pick: George Kittle Anytime TD (+155), 1 unit
