Lions At 49ers Anytime Touchdown Scorer Strategy
Early concerns about poor weather in Santa Clara this weekend appear to be giving way to prime football conditions. Temperatures are forecast to be in the low 60s with light wind and no rain. As a result of expected good weather and two high-powered offenses, the point total for this game sits at a healthy . More expected points gives ATD bettors more confidence to diversify and look for longer shots to find pay dirt.
Deebo Samuel exited the NFC Divisional Round with an injury and is worth monitoring throughout the week. Without him in the lineup, Jauan Jennings saw an uptick in production, leading the 49ers’ receivers in yardage. The weakness of the Lions’ defense is in their secondary, so expect the Niners to push the ball early on.

TE George Kittle ()
The primary beneficiary – and primary target – of Samuel missing most of the Divisional game was Kittle. He scored on a long touchdown pass from Brock Purdy, one that put San Francisco ahead in the game. When the pocket starts to collapse, Purdy looks Kittle’s way often. When the QB faced 15 or more pressures, Kittle averaged 7.7 targets per game; when pressured fewer than 15 times, that number fell to just 4.2. The No. 1 defense in pressure rate? The Lions.
While the clear red zone workhorse is Christian McCaffrey, the Lions’ rushing defense is top 10 in success rate allowed. Over its last three games, Detroit also allowed the fifth-worst red zone touchdown rate in the league. As the 49ers approach the goal line, don’t be surprised to see a target go Kittle’s way as the defense bears down on CMC.
Of course, Kittle is also a threat to score from anywhere on the field.
WR Deebo Samuel ()
Be sure to check your sportsbook’s house rules before placing this bet, or choose a book with favorable house rules. If Samuel (shoulder) doesn’t suit up, be sure the action is void. As of Wednesday, we’re waiting to see injury reports.
Should Samuel go, he has a favorable matchup. Only two teams in the league allowed more touchdowns to receivers this season (Commanders, Eagles). As mentioned, Detroit is a stout defense against the run, meaning Kyle Shanahan will have to get crafty, particularly in the red zone. When he gets crafty, it’s usually No. 19 whose number gets called. While the Lions are a good rushing defense, they overall grade as a subpar tackling team (10th-most missed tackles); Samuel makes his earnings with YAC and broken tackles.
I anticipate Samuel gets plenty of work should he be good to go, both in the red zone and across the other 80 yards of the field. Getting him at an injury discount – especially if a book voids action should he not go – is worth a bet here.
