Rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs has been an integral part of the Detroit Lions’ historic run to the NFC Championship Game this season.

The former University of Alabama standout finished 12th among running backs in the regular season with 1,261 scrimmage yards and tied for ninth at the position with 11 total touchdowns. Gibbs has since added 182 additional yards and two more TDs in Detroit’s wild-card and divisional-round playoff victories.

Below, we outline three Gibbs prop best-bet recommendations for Sunday’s NFC title game matchup against the San Francisco 49ers (5:30 p.m. CT, FOX).

Best Jahmyr Gibbs NFC Championship Game prop bets: Under 47.5 rushing yards (-109 or better)

Gibbs has rushed for 54 or more yards in 10 of his 17 games this season, including 74 on just nine carries in last Sunday’s 31-23 divisional-round victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Now, though, he’s facing his toughest defensive test of the season in the 49ers. In the regular season, San Fran limited opposing running backs to the second-fewest rushing yards per game (64.5) in the league.

Interestingly, only the Lions’ defense itself ranked higher with a 60.5-yard average.

And even though the Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Jones just ran for 108 yards in San Francisco’s 24-21 divisional-round win last week, we expect the Niners’ D to regroup and keep Gibbs under his rushing total Sunday night.

Best Jahmyr Gibbs NFC Championship Game prop bets: Over 22.5 receiving yards (-110 or better)

Gibbs, who’s had 399 receiving yards on 60 receptions in 17 games, was used more as an out-of-the-backfield receiving weapon earlier in the season.

But that role has seen an uptick in the playoffs.

The rookie RB has caught all eight of his targets this postseason — four in each game — and has finished with 43 and 40 receiving yards, respectively.

And that’s also the way to most effectively utilize your running backs against the stout San Francisco defense. The 49ers surrendered the fifth-most receptions (90/5.3 per game) to opposing running backs during the regular season and allowed the eighth-most RB receiving yards (625/36.8 per game).

Also, consider taking the over on Gibbs’ receptions prop bet total of 3.5.

Best Jahmyr Gibbs NFC Championship Game prop bets: Anytime touchdown (+145 or better)

Sunday’s game has one of the highest totals (51.5 points) of the postseason, and deservedly so with the Lions and 49ers a combined 22-15 to the over this season, including the playoffs.

Gibbs has been a major contributor in Detroit’s point production, totaling 13 TDs in 17 games and finding the end zone at least once in 10 of his last 13 contests.

The Niners have only given up nine total TDs in 18 games to opposing running backs, but we like the chances of the Alabama rookie to notch the 10th Sunday night.

The prop’s plus-money odds are quite appealing as well.
