5 Best 49ers Anytime Touchdown Bets for Super Bowl LVIII

Elijah Mitchell (+1100)

This is situational, but at +1100 for Elijah Mitchell to find the endzone, why not? Against the Lions, Christian McCaffrey pulled off a big run to make it first and goal from the three. He was substituted out for Mitchell, who then rushed for a touchdown. Why can’t something similar happen again? Plus, there is always the injury factor that can’t be ignored. At +1100, there are dumber things you can bet on at that price.

Christian McCaffrey 2+ Touchdowns (+230)

Christian McCaffrey is a near-lock to find the endzone on Sunday as he’s -240 to score a touchdown, but we see some value in him scoring twice at +230. He scored two touchdowns in each of the 49ers’ two playoff games thus far, and we know he’ll have enough volume to find the endzone twice. If you want to play it safe instead of rolling the dice on other players to score a touchdown, this is a solid bet to back.

Brandon Aiyuk (+155)

I’m not the biggest Brandon Aiyuk fan. I don’t think his ceiling is that high in any individual game, but outside of Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey, he’s the next-best option to find the endzone. I’m deciding between backing Aiyuk or George Kittle since they are priced similarly. Aiyuk has been the more potent red-zone threat of late while getting more targets. I would still prefer to back Deebo at +140, but I would bet on Aiyuk over Kittle to find the endzone in a heartbeat.

Brock Purdy (+850)

Brock Purdy is more athletic than people think, and he has been willing to use his legs these past two playoff games, combining for 11 carries. I’ve come around to him rushing for a touchdown in the endzone. This game is for all the marbles, so I can envision Steve Spagnuolo’s creative blitzes forcing Purdy to escape the pocket more often than he’s used to. If one of those situations occurs within the ten-yard line, who is to say he won’t lay his body on the line to make it into the endzone? At +850, while this may be a long shot, I don’t think the line is giving enough credit to Purdy’s athleticism and the desperation factor of the Super Bowl.

Elijah Mitchell (+1100)

This is situational, but at +1100 for Elijah Mitchell to find the endzone, why not? Against the Lions, Christian McCaffrey pulled off a big run to make it first and goal from the three. He was substituted out for Mitchell, who then rushed for a touchdown. Why can’t something similar happen again? Plus, there is always the injury factor that can’t be ignored.
