Watch: Episode 8 of Should've Bet That

The Bet: Christian McCaffrey EVERYTHING

CMC was the talk of Sunday’s action, doing something that nobody has done since 2005 when he scored a rushing, receiving and passing touchdown against the Rams.

Suffice to say, in just his second game with the Niners, McCaffrey cashed absolutely everything. Rushing yards, receiving yards, receptions, touchdowns — you name it.

We believe this honeymoon period for the 49ers and CMC is here to stay, and it's something we can bank on going forward.

The Bet: Derrick Henry 2+ TDs (+440)

We spoke about it last week when Carolina met the Texans that this Houston team cannot defend the run. We should have known that the very next week, one of the league’s best running backs would tear them apart in Derrick Henry.

Not only did Henry run for more than 200 yards, but he also scored two touchdowns at a very chalky price of +440. It is the fourth such time that Henry has scored 2+ TDs against the Texans in a game which is a record for any one player against the same team.

The Bet: Kenneth Walker Anytime Touchdown (-105)

We sure do talk about the Seahawks a lot on Should’ve Bet That, but that’s because week in, week out they’re giving bettors something to cheer for. That was no exception when Seattle upset the Giants on Sunday to go to 5-3 on the year which is good for the top of the NFC West.

One of the shining lights from the game was rookie RB Kenneth Walker. The man out of Michigan State has truly cemented himself in the league with touchdowns in four straight games now. He is someone we should be considering when putting together those Week 9 TD parlays.
