Week 4 of the NFL season kicks off with the 0-3 New York Jets hosting the 0-3 Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football. While this might not be the most entertaining matchup, there are always prop bets to keep us interested. Below, we give you five New York Jets player props to consider for Thursday Night Football in Week 4.
5 New York Jets prop bets to make for Week 4
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 11:50 a.m. ET.
Jets QB Sam Darnold OVER 229.5 passing yards (-112)
If the Jets want to have any chance of winning this game, they are going to need Darnold to put on a passing clinic. He will need to do so with one of the league’s worst offensive lines and an injured receiving corps. With his passing yardage total set at just 229.5 yards, it shouldn’t be hard for him to top it given the opponent.
Look for Darnold to throw close to 40 times and for him to easily eclipse this total. Take the OVER 229.5 (-112).

Jets QB Sam Darnold OVER 0.5 interceptions (-128)
While Darnold is supremely talented, his fatal flaw is his decision-making. In 2020, he has already thrown four interceptions to just three touchdowns. He’s likely to be under pressure all night and will throw a few interceptable passes to the Broncos’ secondary.
If Darnold reaches 40 or more passing attempts, an interception or two seems like a lock. Take the OVER 0.5 (-128).
Jets RB Frank Gore UNDER 56.5 rushing yards (-110)
With starting running back Le’Veon Bell out for this game due to a hamstring injury, Gore figures to start and lead the Jets in rushing attempts. However, he’s averaging just 3.4 yards per attempt this season and the team is intrigued by rookie running back La’Mical Perine.
Unless Gore sees 17-18 carries, it’s hard to envision him surpassing 56.5 rushing yards. Take the UNDER 56.5 (-110).
Jets QB Sam Darnold to throw 2-plus touchdowns and win (+220)
If you believe the Jets will get their first win of the season at home in Week 4, consider paring that with a Darnold-related prop bet. Our favorite is the Jets to win and Darnold to throw two or more touchdowns at +220.
For the Jets to win, they will need Darnold to be successful through the air. It has been a while since he has thrown two or more touchdowns in a game, but the Broncos’ secondary has had problems stopping everyone this season. Considering the odds, this is a solid bet on Darnold and the Jets in Week 4.
Jets TE Chris Herndon to score first New York touchdown (+700)
If you are searching for a long-shot bet in Week 4, consider taking TE Chris Herndon to be the first Jets’ player to score a touchdown. Herndon has not reached the end zone since the 2018 season, but he might be Darnold’s most reliable weapon in this contest.
At 7-1 odds, don’t be surprised if Darnold targets Herndon a few times in the red zone in this contest.
