George Kittle NFC Championship Prop Bets
George Kittle Under 50.5 Receiving Yards (-115) at BetMGM
Wager: 1.15 Units
George Kittle caught 10-of-14 targets for 60 yards in two games against the Rams this season. He ran 27 routes in the Week 18 matchup and only 15 routes in their Week 10 meeting.
That’s because Kittle is often used as a blocker, ranking 13th among tight ends with 500 or more snaps with a 13.2% blocking rate. There’s a good chance that Kittle will be utilized as a blocker often against the Rams in the NFC Championship game.

Los Angeles has always had a strong pass-rush with Aaron Donald and Leonard Floyd, but it has reached new heights in recent weeks. That’s because Von Miller, who was acquired at the trade deadline, has found his groove.

It took some time for Miller to make an impact as he acclimated to a new defense, but he’s now racked up seven sacks in his last six games. Miller, Donald, and Floyd caused a ton of problems for Tom Brady in the Divisional Round, helping the Rams slow down one of the best passing games in football.

The 49ers need to make sure that they protect Jimmy Garoppolo if they’re to win this game. Garoppolo can be prone to mistakes at times, so they have to keep a clean pocket to avoid any ill-advised turnovers.
That means Kittle could be kept in as a blocker at a higher rate in this game.
Roll with the Under in this spot.
