The San Francisco 49ers‘ decision to spend up to acquire yet another running back initially raised concerns. However, the move seems to have worked out. Christian McCaffrey has led the charge for San Francisco’s offense. The 49ers’ success depends upon their running game, and they have a favorable matchup today against the Seattle Seahawks, who have a weak run defense. In light of this, Christian McCaffrey is an excellent bet among the Seahawks-49ers anytime touchdown scorer options with odds of -140 at DraftKings Sportsbook.

Anytime Touchdown Bet: Christian McCaffrey (-140)
The Seattle Seahawks won’t have their leading tackler and one of their best run-stoppers, Jordyn Brooks, against the 49ers. Cody Barton will fill in for him. Barton ranks 46th out of 85 linebackers in terms of run defense. Additionally, the team’s best defensive lineman and top player against the run, Shelby Harris, is listed as questionable due to a leg injury.
Seattle’s defense has already struggled against the run all year. Several key defensive players grade poorly in run defense. Quinton Jefferson ranks 120th out of 139 defensive linemen as a run-stopper. Similarly, Darrell Taylor ranks 113th out of 118 defensive ends in run defense, and Poona Ford ranks 88th out of 139 defensive linemen against the run. Safety Johnathan Abram, who often comes down to the box to defend against the run as a last resort, also ranks poorly in this area at 78th out of 85 safeties.
These factors may create opportunities for the 49ers’ strong running game. San Francisco is a 9.5-point favorite, and their offense is expected to rely heavily on their ground game. That should give Christian McCaffrey plenty of chances to find the end zone. Bettors should head to DraftKings for the best deal on the market.
