00:00 Here are my three best bets for Thursday night football.

00:02 San Francisco, minus 10.

00:05 Yes, the spread is the second largest of the week, but

00:08 the Niners are averaging 30 points per game to the Giants 15.

00:11 San Francisco's at home, New York is without Saquon Barkley, and

00:15 I don't expect Brian Dable to kick a meaningless field goal.

00:18 Number two, Christian McCaffrey over 7-yard and a half, rushing yards.

00:23 McCaffrey has run for more than 100 yards in each of the first two games this year,

00:27 and he's facing a Giants defense that just allowed 106 yards to James Conner.

00:33 Game script is in his favor too, with San Francisco favored by 10.

00:36 And finally, Daniel Jones over 35 and a half rushing yards.

00:40 Now we played this prop last week, and we're gonna play it again until we miss.

00:45 Jones averaged 44 rushing yards per game in 2022, and so far this season,

00:49 he's averaging 51 yards per game, and

00:52 he surpassed this prop in each of the first two contests.

00:56 Saquon Barkley's out, the Giants are best with Jones using his mobility, and

01:00 even versus a tough Niners defense, Jones should be able to scramble for 36.
