The 49ers season wins total betting line was set at OVER/UNDER 11.5. 

Crabtree, 25, is coming off a season in which he had career-highs in receptions (85), yards (1,105) and touchdowns (nine).

USA Today is reporting that Crabtree was expected to have surgery to correct the injury and he may not play this upcoming season.

From USA Today:

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the 49ers haven't commented on the injury, which used to be an automatic season-ender but has since become one that can sometimes be rehabbed in a matter of months -- as Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Da'Quan Bowers did last year.
