Suepr Bowl Picks: Christian McCaffrey Anytime TD
In preparation to play the 49ers, every NFL defensive coordinator derives their game plan around the premise of containing San Francisco RB Christian McCaffey. And almost every one of them watches while their defense fails to complete this task.
The 49ers acquiring McCaffrey last season from the Carolina Panthers is looking as though it will go down in NFL history as one of the most lopsided trades in the annals of the league. A dual threat as both a runner and pass catcher, in 37 games for the 49ers, McCaffrey has accounted for 33 touchdowns.
Since joining the 49ers, Christian McCaffrey has been a powerhouse with remarkable stats:
– 650 touches
– 2,631 yards on the ground
– 1,161 yards receiving
– A total of 38 touchdownsIn this season's playoff performances:
– In the Divisional Round, he tallied 128 yards,… pic.twitter.com/4AiKownype— OutOfSightSports🚀™️ (@OOSSports) January 31, 2024
McCaffrey’s innate ability to break tackles frequently turns two-yard gains into seven-yard runs. As he wears on a defense, eventually, one of those runs becomes a 40-yard chunk play and often, a TD.
He’s proven to be money in the playoffs. McCaffrey has found the end zone in each of his six career NFL postseason games. He’s ramping it up even more this season. McCaffrey scored twice in the NFL Divisional Round win over Green Bay and two more times in San Francisco’s NFC Championship Game rally against Detroit.
He’s given an implied probability of 68.05% to score a Super Bowl TD.

Kelce has exceeded that number in all three of Kansas City’s playoff games. In the AFC Championship Game win over Baltimore, he complied 116 yards in receptions. He went for 75 yards in the Divisional Round against Buffalo and 71 on Wild Card Weekend facing Miami.
In fact, Kelce has gone over that number in each of KC’s last 12 playoff games and in two of the three Super Bowl games in which he’s played.
