Philadelphia Eagles vs. Atlanta Falcons: NFL experts make Week 1 picks

The Eagles are a little over 24-hours away from kicking off the 2021 regular season on the road against the Atlanta Falcons.

Road underdogs, Philadelphia has had Atlanta’s number since 2000 and should benefit from familiarity with a common foe.

NFL experts spent the week predicting outcomes and the votes seem split.

Over/Under: Projecting Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson’s stats

Projecting Lamar Jackson’s 2020 passing statistics and how they match up with the over/under betting odds.

Looking forward to the 2020 NFL season, it’s time to start breaking down how individual players will do statistically. Today we focus on Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson‘s projected passing numbers and how they match up against future odds at BetMGM sportsbook.

Lamar Jackson’s stats history

Jackson was the league’s unanimous MVP in 2019, his second season in the pros. He went 13-2 as a starter, passing for 3,127 yards with a league-high 36 touchdowns with only six interceptions. He also rushed for 1,206 yards with seven TDs.

The Ravens offense is built around the rushing attack, but as Jackson enters his third season, he should see an increase in passing yards.

Lamar Jackson’s projected stats and odds

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Odds last updated Tuesday, April 21 at 3:30 a.m. ET.

Passing Yards: 3,249.5 / OVER: -110 / UNDER: -110

Passing Touchdowns: 26.5 / OVER: -110 / UNDER: -110

Jackson was only 22nd in the league in passing yards. If we are to assume he will continue to develop as a quarterback, he’ll be expected to pass for more yards than last season. Twenty quarterbacks had at least 3,250 passing yards in 2019. Can we expect the league MVP to be in the top 20 in passing? Certainly. Take OVER 3,249.5 (-110) on Jackson’s passing yards as he takes another step forward as a passing QB. As for touchdown passes, seven quarterbacks had at least 27 last season. Jackson might not match the 36 he had in 2019, but he should toss more than 26. Take OVER 26.5 (-110) on TD passes as well.
