'TNF' + SGP = $$$

We're in the heat of MLB playoffs right now, but we can't let Thursday come and go without getting some action down on "Thursday Night Football." The Seattle Seahawks are hosting the San Francisco 49ers this week in a crucial NFC West showdown, and we've got you covered with a Same Game Parlay to bulk up our bankroll for the weekend. 

Bankroll-building SGP for 'TNF'

Leg 1: George Kittle 60+ receiving yards

The weakness of this Seahawks defense is down the middle of the field, and the 49ers will look to exploit that with Kittle in the passing game. Seattle gave up 109 yards to Hunter Henry, 53 yards to Sam LaPorta and 48 yards to Theo Johnson. Kittle is the best tight end in that group, and he's averaging 92.3 receiving yards in his last four games against the Seahawks. We like buying this prop up for some extra juice. 

Leg 2: Kenneth Walker over 83.5 rushing + receiving yards

In last week's loss to the New York Giants, Walker rushed only five times for 19 yards. Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb specifically mentioned this week that was a mistake on his part, and he needs to get the ball in Walker's hands more. We don't know whether that'll be on the ground or through the air, but Walker has recorded 11 catches for 93 over the last two games. We'll roll with the rushing + receiving prop and hope Grubb executes his game plan. 

Leg 3: Zach Charbonnet under 13.5 rushing yards

Charbonnet is operating as the passing-down running back behind Walker. The backup RB played only 36 percent of the team's offensive snaps last week, and he's recorded only two carries in each of the last two games. If the Seahawks want to get Walker even more involved in the offense, that correlates to Charbonnet seeing fewer touches in the running game. 

Put it all together, and we get a +620 SGP on FanDuel. Let's cash!
