New York Jets Week 15 prop bet predictions
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 8:25 a.m. ET.
Jets +5.5 1st quarter line (-115)
The Jets might be winless on the season with just three games remaining, but they’re not waving the white flag. OK, yes, they were creamed 40-3 at the Seattle Seahawks last week, but they at least got off to a decent start in the first quarter. They trailed just 7-3 after 15 minutes.
In the previous week at home against the Las Vegas Raiders, they were tied 7-7 after 15 minutes. In Week 12 against the Miami Dolphins, they were tied 3-3 after the first quarter, and the previous week in this very same stadium against the Los Angeles Chargers, they were down just 7-6. If the Jets could only play 15-minute games instead of the 60-minute version, they’d be a more respectable side.
RB Frank Gore anytime touchdown (+350)
The Jets aren’t likely to do a lot of scoring in this one. Of course, they are averaging 28.0 points per game at SoFi Stadium this season for their best average in any NFL stadium. OK, we kid a little, but it is factual.
Anyway, if anyone is going to pierce the end zone against the Rams, Gore is a good bet. You can net a three and a half times return on your investment, and it isn’t a stretch that if the Jets get it inside the 5-yard line that it’s Gore time.

QB Sam Darnold OVER 199.5 passing yards (-110)
Gang Green heads into this one as a 17-point underdog, so the books are expecting this game to be a laugher. As such, expect the Jets to get away from the run game early and rely upon the pass, trying to get back into the game.
That’s where Darnold comes in. He might not be terribly efficient in this one, particularly early on, but he’ll log plenty of garbage time pass yards to get himself well into the 200’s.
QB Sam Darnold OVER 0.5 interceptions (-250)
This is a risky play based on the juice attached to the prop, but it’s a slam-dunk bet. The Rams will pressure him all day long, coaxing him into several miscues and prop bettors shouldn’t need to wait long for this one to cash.
To be fair, he didn’t toss an interception last week in Seattle, but he does have 8 picks over his past six games.
PK Sam Ficken UNDER 4.5 points (+100)
Again, the Jets aren’t expected to make a lot of noise offensively, so don’t look for Ficken to be on the field very much. At even money, Ficken is a strong play for four fewer points.
He has 35 points through seven games, but 16 of those points came in a Thursday game against Denver Oct. 1. Take that game out of the equation and he is averaging just 3.3 points per game in his other six contests.
