BetMGM's Jaguars-Jets Player Prop Picks

With several intriguing NFL matchups set to take place this week, I’ve identified a few favorable football betting player props on the BetMGM Sportsbook that you could consider ahead of the action.

Trevor Lawrence Over 13.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is averaging 23.3 rushing yards per game in his last six contests on 6.4 yards per rushing attempt. That’s well over this total.

Lawrence has gone over this threshold in four of his last six games. And while the Jets have been strong defensively, they haven’t been great against mobile passers.

The Jets, who are among the best in several defensive categories this season, allow the 15th-most rushing yards to quarterbacks. If they’re once again missing defensive lineman Quinnen Williams, who’s been one of the best in the NFL, Lawrence should be even more capable of going over this total.

Evan Engram Over 46.5 Receiving Yards (-120)

Jaguars tight end Evan Engram has been well over this number in his last two games. In fact, he’s averaging 112 yards per game during that stretch.

That’s because Jacksonville has made Engram a key part of the offense. He’s been targeted 25 times in the last two weeks after a stretch of seven games where he wasn’t targeted more than seven times in any given game.

The Jets are also a good matchup. They’ve allowed the 12th-most receiving yards to tight ends this year.

Trevor Lawrence Over 229.5 Passing Yards (-115)

Trevor Lawrence has been over this total in five of his last six games. In fact, he’s averaged 280 yards during that time.

The Jets allow the fourth-fewest passing yards to quarterbacks this season. However, they allowed 252 against Detroit last week while they were without star defensive lineman Quinnen Williams.

This Jets defense could be reeling if they have to play without Williams again. I expect Lawrence to take advantage.
