3 best bets for Week 4: Expect a big day from Brock Purdy
Photo by Michael Owens/ Plus, Christian McCaffrey can tie Jerry Rice by doing this... Betting is a rollercoaster. After starting the season 5-2, a 1-4 outing has my picks sitting at 6-6. George Kittle didn’t score a touchdown but had a great showing on TNF. Kittle going scoreless wiped off my Kittle plus 49ers win bet. Deebo Samuel didn’t go over his rushing yard total. Brock Purdy hit the over on his passing touchdown prop (our only win). My four-pick parlay flopped. 6-6 isn’t a bad record, but after starting 4-0 in Week 1, we’ve got some work to do. Let’s...
