update: The line continues to grow. The line has climbed as high as seven points http://www.49ersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-george-kittle-jersey , with most sportsbooks between six and 6.5 points. Plenty of money coming in on the 49ers.24 hours ago, the San Francisco 49ers were sitting as a field goal favorite for their Week 2 matchup against the Detroit Lions. I figured a strong Monday Night Football performance might bring the line down a little. Turns out a strong MNF performance made a difference, just not like many of us expected. The 49ers are now 5.5 point favorites, according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.The New York Jets pounded the Lions, and the game also resulted in a host of injuries for Detroit. Cornerback Darius Slay left with a head injury but returned, edge rusher Ezekiel Ansah left with a shoulder injury and did not return, and quarterback Matthew suffered a knee injury but continued, and later suffered a rib injury that cost him a few snaps.Slay and Stafford seem likely to play in Week 2 Earl Mitchell jersey , but Ansah is a serious question mark for the matchup. Public money was coming in on the 49ers at a field goal, but it will be worth tracking how the money moves with the line climbing. The line is moved to even out the money coming in so the sportsbook can be in line to profit regardless of who wins. After the Lions Monday night meltdown, sportsbooks have their work cut out for them.George Kittle is putting together a Pro Bowl season The San Francisco 49ers have reasons to be disappointed with the state of the team in 2018, but there are positives to take away from what we have seen thus far. One of the most notable has been the breakout season by second-year tight end George Kittle.Kittle put together some decent numbers his rookie season, catching 43 passes for 515 yards and two touchdowns while working through an assortment of bumps and bruises. Through five games this season, he has caught 23 passes for 399 yards — putting him on pace for 73 receptions, 1,276 receiving yards Authentic K'Waun Williams jersey , and three touchdowns.Among tight ends, Kittle currently ranks fifth in receptions, third in yards, and second in yards per reception among tight ends with at least ten receptions. Football Outsiders currently ranks him fourth among tight ends in DYAR and 11th in DVOA. A higher DYAR means more total value, while a higher DVOA means more value per play. Over at Pro Football Focus, Kittle is tied for second among tight ends in yards per route run, and is listed with one drop on the season.The tight end position is fairly AFC heavy. In terms of receiving yards, Zach Ertz tops the list and Kittle is third Youth Joe Staley jersey , but the remaining five in the top seven are AFC tight ends. The next NFC tight ends are Jimmy Graham (8th), Kyle Rudolph (9th), and O.J. Howard (10th).Given that Ertz plays for the defending Super Bowl champs, odds are pretty good he gets voted onto the 2019 Pro Bowl roster. Jimmy Graham and Kyle Rudolph are notable tight end names, but if Kittle can remain anywhere close to his current pace, or at the very least, surpass 1,000 receiving yards 49ers Arik Armstead Jersey , I would be shocked if he did not get a Pro Bowl nod, at least as an alternate.Given how this season has gone, he stands a good chance of getting the kinds of regular looks he needs to bumps his stats. He has led the team in receiving four of the first five weeks. The team’s wide receiver corps has been shaky at best this season, particularly with Marquise Goodwin sidelined. When Goodwin returns, we’ll see if there are changes to who gets regular looks from C.J. Beathard.This weekend, the 49ers travel to face a Green Bay Packers squad that Football Outsiders ranks No. 14 in covering tight ends. Kittle has faced some bad tight end defenses this year, with Minnesota currently ranked No. 31, Detroit ranked No. 26 Cheap DeForest Buckner Jersey , KC ranked No. 22, and Arizona ranked No. 23. It is interesting to note, however, that the Los Angeles Chargers currently rank No. 1 in covering tight ends. Kittle had his 82-yard touchdown reception in that game, and finished the day with six receptions for 125 yards and the touchdown.
