5 New York Jets prop bets to make Week 3

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 10:10 p.m. ET.

QB Sam Darnold OVER 0.5 interceptions (-189)

It’s a little more juice than I care to pay, but this is almost a guarantee. It’s not a knock on Darnold by any means, but he will be missing his top two receivers, with Jamison Crowder (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (ankle) ruled out. That means WR Chris Hogan will be Darnold’s top receiver, with a bevy of other less experienced wideouts trying to pick up the slack. Less experienced route runners means more chance for miscues.

TE Chris Herndon OVER 3.5 receptions (-115)

As mentioned above, the cupboard is a bit bare for Darnold among the wideout corps. He’ll likely be leaning heavily upon the short to intermediate routes, checking down to his tailback out of the backfield while also employing his tight end quite a bit. Herndon should benefit greatly from the lack of experienced targets elsewhere.

Jets’ first-quarter spread (+3, -106)

The Jets are double-digit underdogs on the road, but they should be able to hang with the heavily favored Colts in the first 15 minutes. You can expect the Jets to use a mostly ground-based attack early in this game, trying to win the time of possession game. If this spread were 2.5 points, it wouldn’t be nearly as attractive.

RB Frank Gore OVER 13.5 rushing attempts (+100)

Expect the Jets to lean upon their most experienced player early in the game. Even in a 31-13 blowout loss at home last weekend against the San Francisco 49ers, Gore was entrusted with 21 carries for 63 yards. The Jets were trailing 21-3 at halftime of that loss, and Gore was still able to hit blackjack in the rush total department. Expect more of the same in Week 3.

Darnold longest pass completion UNDER 32.5 yards (-110)

Darnold will not have his downfield threats of Crowder and Perriman, and last week the longest pass play went to WR Braxton Berrios for 30 yards on a garbage-time touchdown with 1:23 left in regulation. Berrios will be the only legitimate downfield threat in this one for Gang Green, and that’s not saying much.

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.
