The New York Jets (0-8) will host the New England Patriots (2-5) on Monday Night Football. Both teams are struggling to start the season and would love to get a divisional win. Below, we give you five player/team prop bets to consider from the BetMGM game menu in Week 9.
New York Jets Week 9 prop bet predictions
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 2:40 p.m. ET.
Jets UNDER 7.5 points in the first half (-167)
If you are going to make any bet on Monday Night Football, strongly consider betting on the Jets UNDER 7.5 points in the first half. With QB Joe Flacco under center in replacement of QB Sam Darnold, New York just doesn’t have many ways to score. It’s tough to envision the Jets scoring once, let alone twice in the opening quarter of the game and at -167, this is a relatively good payout for a likely “win.”
Jets UNDER 19.5 points (-223)
If you believe the Jets are going to struggle to score on offense (and why wouldn’t you), take them to score UNDER 19.5 points in Week 9. The Jets are averaging just 11.75 points per game this season and they have historically struggled to move the ball against a Bill Belichick-led defense. While the odds aren’t fantastic, take this easy win on Monday Night Football.

Jets WR Breshad Perriman OVER 29.5 receiving yards (-121)
If there is one thing Flacco does well, it’s throwing the deep ball. Perriman is the top speed option on the Jets roster, and he was with Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens earlier in his career. With a receiving yardage total set under 30 yards and no CB Stephon Gilmore for the Patriots in this matchup, look for Perriman to catch a few long passes and easily hit the Over.
Jets RB Frank Gore OVER 38.5 rushing yards (-112)
It hasn’t been a fantastic season for Gore. He’s averaging only 3.5 yards per carry and has yet to score a touchdown this season. With no other reliable options for New York, Gore should see a big workload again in Week 9. Look for the former All-Pro running back to go over 38.5 rushing yards and be the team’s focal point on offense tonight.
Jets WR Breshad Perriman to score 2 or more touchdowns (+3300)
If you are looking for a fun long-shot bet to root for on Monday Night Football, consider taking Perriman to score 2 or more touchdowns against the Patriots. He’s yet to score this season, but his speed and ball-skills always make him dangerous. Flacco should give him plenty of chances down the field in this game against a not-very-good Patriots defense.
