The 2020 NFL regular season continues Sunday afternoon for the New York Jets in a Week 2 home game against the San Francisco 49ers. Kickoff at MetLife Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we make our 5 best props bets for the Jets with our NFL picks and best bets.
5 NFL prop bets to make on the New York Jets
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 10:45 a.m.
Frank Gore will score a touchdown (+130)
Gore is tabbed for the start with Le’Veon Bell (shoulder) hitting the Reserve/Injured list. It just so happens Gore’s first start in green comes against his original NFL team. I don’t expect the Jets to score very much in this game, but if they do, it will be thanks to Gore’s feet.
Sam Darnold Over 215.5 passing yards (-110)
The Jets should have a hard time moving the ball against the defending NFC champions, especially since the 49ers are going to come in very angry after falling to the Arizona Cardinals at home in Week 1.
Darnold jelled nicely with WR Jamison Crowder last week, but his top receiver has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury.
As the game progresses, and the 49ers grab what is expected to be a rather big lead in the second half, Darnold and the Jets are likely to abandon the ground game in favor of a mostly aerial attack. Darnold will rack up plenty of passing yards as New York tries to get back into the game.

Jets Under 0.5 points 1st quarter (+110)
The Jets are at home, which is great, but they’re also without Bell and Crowder. They’re 7-point underdogs against an angry, championship-caliber team, too. Expect a slow start.
They faced a similarly stout defense last weekend in Buffalo, and had a goose egg in the first quarter WITH Bell and Crowder on the field.
Breshad Perriman/Chris Herndon Over 4 receptions (+140)
Under the player props/parlay section, Perriman and Herndon to each go over four receptions is a good play at plus-money. Herndon went for six receptions and 37 yards on seven targets in Week 1, and Perriman had three grabs and five targets. The Jets are likely to be passing frequently, as they’ll likely be playing from behind again. This is your best bet among all the player combo parlays with Crowder out.
Jets will call the first timeout (-115)
Well, we can rule out crowd noise confusing the opposition, as no fans will be in attendance at MetLife Stadium. So it comes down to organization, really, and the Jets are likely to be a bit flustered against the 49ers defense, especially with Bell and Crowder sidelined. I think if anyone needs a little more time, it will be Darnold and company.
