NFL Prop Bets Payday: Bank on these 5 New York Jets prop bets predictions

Highlighting five New York Jets prop bet predictions ahead of their Week 8 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The New York Jets (0-7) are faced with their toughest test of the 2020 season in Week 8. They’re on the road to face the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs (6-1) at Arrowhead Stadium for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff in one of the most lopsided matchups of the year. Below, we give you five prop bet predictions to consider for the Jets-Chiefs Week 8 matchup from the BetMGM game menu.

New York Jets Week 8 prop bets predictions

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 9 a.m. ET.

QB Sam Darnold OVER 1.5 interceptions (+145)

Darnold, a third-year pro, has thrown at least one interception in three of five games this season and multiple interceptions in two of his last three games. He threw two last week in an 18-12 loss to the Buffalo Bills despite throwing the ball only 23 times.

The Chiefs are tied for second in the NFL with 9 interceptions on the year and they benefit from the offense forcing opposing quarterbacks to throw often in an attempt to keep up on the scoreboard. Expect more work for Darnold and his patchwork receiving corps to result in two or more INTs.

Darnold OVER 10.5 rushing yards (-115)

Following a similar line of thinking, look for Darnold to use his legs a little more than usual. He didn’t have one rushing attempt last week, but he ran for 84 yards and a touchdown on six carries against the Denver Broncos in Week 4 and ran five times for 20 yards in Week 3. More dropbacks will lead to more scrambles against a Chiefs team with 16 sacks through seven games.

WR Denzel Mims OVER 3.5 receptions (-150)

Jets WR Breshad Perriman (concussion) won’t play Sunday and Jamison Crowder (groin) is doubtful. Mims, the 59th pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, caught 4 of 7 targets for 42 yards in his NFL debut last week and should play a larger role in a pass-heavy game for the Jets offense.

WR Braxton Berrios Jets first touchdown scorer (+800)

Berrios is also likely to see more work in the receiving game due to the Jets’ injuries. The sixth-round pick of the 2018 NFL Draft scored in both Weeks 2 and 3 and caught 4 of 7 targets for 35 yards last week. He’s also the Jets’ primary punt and kick returner, and should have plenty of opportunities in the latter Sunday.

Which team will score last points of the game: Jets (+150)

Plus-money here is a surprise and an excellent opportunity for bettors. The Chiefs are favored to win by 19.5 points and should put this game away early before removing most key starters. The Jets should be able to score some garbage-time points to make this one look closer than it truly was.

NFL Prop Bets Payday: 5 Thursday Night Football prop bet predictions

Highlighting five Thursday Night Football prop bet predictions as the New York Giants take on the Philadelphia Eagles.

The 1-4-1 Philadelphia Eagles play the second of three straight home games Thursday night, hosting the NFC East rival New York Giants (1-5) at Lincoln Financial Field. Kickoff will be at 8:20 p.m. ET on Thursday Night Football. Below, we look at five Thursday Night Football prop bets to make.

Thursday Night Football prop bets

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list.
Lines last updated at 12:50 p.m. ET.

Field goal to be first scoring play (+105)

Philly is all kinds of banged up, with cluster injuries striking the offensive line and pass-catchers in particular, and the latest to feel the wrath are two of the team’s top offensive players in RB Miles Sanders and TE Zach Ertz. Both are sidelined Thursday night (or longer) and that’s a big blow to Philly’s offensive continuity and the ability to sustain touchdown drives.

The Giants are much healthier — despite the season-ending knee injury suffered by stud RB Saquon Barkley in Week 2 — but the team’s ugly offensive numbers have made Giants fans ill as New York easily has the league’s worst TD-to-field-goal ratio at 7:16.

The plus-value tag on this first-score field goal prop looks attractive in a game where there figures to be plenty to go around.

Eagles to win race to 20 points (-129)

QB Carson Wentz and the Eagles are averaging 23.5 points per outing and have scored at least 23 in each of their last four contests.

The Giants, meanwhile, rank 31st in the league in scoring (16.8 points per game) and have reached 20 only twice in six contests.

Despite the injury issues, take the Eagles and pay the -129 price.

Wentz and Giants QB Daniel Jones both to finish with 15+ rushing yards (-136)

It’s a quarterback “leg” parlay here, and it’s priced at -136 for good reason.

Wentz trails only Sanders on the team with 172 yards on 28 attempts and 162 of those yards have come in the last four games.

Jones, meanwhile, is New York’s leading rusher on the year with 204 yards on 27 attempts and has rushed for at least 21 yards in five of six contests this season.

WR DeSean Jackson OVER 36.5 receiving yards (-115)

The decimated Eagles are getting one key weapon back this week. The speedy Jackson has suited up in only six games for Philly since signing with the team prior to the 2019 season.

Jackson gives the team a much-needed downfield threat, and in the three games he has played at least 50% of the Eagles’ offensive snaps, he has totaled 264 receiving yards and two TDs on 16 catches, reaching at least 46 yards in each game.

With his impressive career average of 17.3 yards per reception, he might only need one catch to reach 35 yards and that seems like a reasonable gamble to take considering how many other offensive weapons the Eagles are missing.

Eagles RB Boston Scott over 21.5 receiving yards (-115)

Scott steps in for the ailing Sanders, and he provides Wentz with a sneaky good underneath receiving option.

Scott filled in for Sanders late last season as well, and in the last seven games he has played at least 18% of Philly’s offensive snaps, he has posted receiving yardage totals of 69, 39, 7, 84, 19, 24 and 5 on 30 combined catches. By the way, the two highest yardage totals (69 and 84) in that group came late last season in games against the Giants.

Bypass his rushing yards prop and go with the underpublicized Over on Scott as a receiver.

NFL Prop Bets Payday: 5 New York Giants prop bets for Thursday Night Football

Highlighting five New York Giants prop bet predictions ahead of their Week 7 game on Thursday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The struggling NFC East is in the prime-time spotlight Thursday night as the 1-5 New York Giants visit the 1-4-1 Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field. Kickoff will be at 8:20 p.m. ET. Below, we highlight 5 prop bet predictions for the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football.

New York Giants Thursday Night Football prop bets

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list.
Lines last updated at 12:20 p.m. ET.

Giants OVER 1.5 field goals made (-129)

Scoring has been a struggle for the Giants this season with an average of 16.8 points per game and eight total touchdowns through six contests.

In the red zone, it’s been especially brutal for QB Daniel Jones and Co. as New York has converted only 4-of-16 red-zone drives into TDs.

It’s all led to plenty of field goals, though, as veteran kicker Graham Gano has hit on 15-of-16 attempts, including 6-of-7 from 40 yards or more, to rank fourth in the league in field goals made.

Kick in some cash on the Over here.

TE Evan Engram OVER 37.5 receiving yards (-115)

As fantasy owners of the Giants tight end know all too well, Engram hasn’t lived up to expectations with only 20 receptions for 177 yards and no TDs on 35 targets so far.

Thursday night presents a get-right matchup against the Eagles, who are allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends, including the fifth-most yards per game at 62.8.

Engram has topped 37.5 yards only once all season, but the juicy matchup is ripe for a breakout and an Over wager.

Engram to score a TD (+162)

We’ll tack on a correlated prop bet here as six of the 11 aerial TDs allowed by Philly this season have been reeled in by tight ends. Only the Atlanta Falcons, with seven, have allowed more scoring receptions to opposing TEs.

After catching a combined 12 TD passes in his first three seasons, Engram has yet to find paydirt this season, but we’ll bank on No. 1 coming Thursday night in prime time.

Daniel Jones and Eagles QB Carson Wentz both to finish with 15+ rushing yards (-136)

It’s a quarterback “leg” parlay here, and it’s priced at -136 for good reason.

Jones is New York’s leading rusher on the year with 204 yards on 27 attempts and has rushed for at least 21 yards in five of six contests.

Wentz meanwhile, trails only sidelined RB Miles Sanders on the Eagles with 172 yards on 28 attempts and 162 of those yards have come in the last four games.

Giants UNDER 23.5 points (-189)

As aforementioned, the G-Men are averaging only 16.8 points per outing. They’ve topped 20 points only once, and that 34-point outburst came against the Dallas Cowboys’ league-worst scoring defense.

Philly is surrendering 29.2 points per contest and each of its six foes have scored at least 20, but the Eagles also have faced some high-powered attacks in the Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Rams.

So while the Giants could very well easily enjoy their second scoring “outburst” of the season, that likely will still fall short of the 23.5 total here.

NFL Prop Bets Payday: 5 Pittsburgh Steelers prop bets to make in Week 5

Highlighting five Pittsburgh Steelers prop bets to make for their Week 5 home matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (3-0) take on their state rival as they host the Philadelphia Eagles (1-2-1) at 1 p.m. ET in Week 5.  Below, we give you five player/team prop bets to consider from the BetMGM game menu.

5 Pittsburgh Steelers prop bets to make in Week 5

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 9:20 a.m. ET.

QB Ben Roethlisberger OVER 267.5 passing yards (-121)

The Steelers offense has yet to be really tested through the first three games of the season. The defense has done its part keeping opponents at or below 21 points, but Sunday could be a different story.

Roethlisberger’s passing yardage total is set at 267.5 yards and he should have no problem getting there against an Eagles defense that has been shredded by the likes of Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff and Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow. As long as Roethlisberger approaches 40 or more attempts, he should go OVER 267.5 passing yards (-121) with ease.

WR Diontae Johnson OVER 55.5 receiving yards (+100)

Johnson left the team’s Week 3 game against the Houston Texans due to a head injury, but he’s returning for Week 5. Johnson has been the team’s most targeted receiver this season, seeing a total of 25 targets on 128 total offensive snaps. As long as he sees his usual workload, he should have no problem getting OVER 55.5 receiving yards (+100) in this contest.

Bet $1 on the Pittsburgh Steelers money line, win $100 (in free bets) if the Steelers score a touchdown. Place your legal, online sports bets in West Virginia at BetMGM, The King of Sportsbooks.

WR Diontae Johnson to score TD at any time (+187)

Johnson has caught just one touchdown this season, but it isn’t due to a lack of trying. As mentioned above, Roethlisberger has had no problem giving Johnson a ton of looks. If he sees close to his double-digit target rate, Johnson should find the end zone at least once against this soft Eagles defense.

At +187, this is a strong bet to make on both Johnson and Roethlisberger.

RB James Conner UNDER 63.5 rushing yards (+100)

Over the last two games, Conner has rushed for 215 yards, averaging 6.32 yards per carry. A lot of those rushing yards came in garbage time against bad defenses. Look for Pittsburgh to be a bit more pass-heavy in Week 5 and for Conner to come UNDER 63.5 rushing yards (+100) in Week 5.

TE Eric Ebron to score and Steelers win (+200)

The Steelers brought in Ebron to help with their red-zone offense and he scored his first touchdown with Pittsburgh in Week 3. Expect him to get a few more end zone looks today and for the Steelers to win at home.

5 Indianapolis Colts prop bets to make in Week 5

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Sunday at 12:05 a.m. ET.

QB Philip Rivers OVER 238.5 passing yards (-115)

Rivers has been Under that total each of the last three weeks, but the Browns give up a lot of yards through the air. Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson threw for 275 yards vs. the Browns in Week 1, Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow had 316 in Week 2 and Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott tossed for 502 yards last week. Only Washington Football Team QB Dwayne Haskins finished Under with 224 yards in Week 3. Basically, every solid starting quarterback has surpassed that total. Expect it again.

Taylor has had at least 17 carries in two of his three starts this season, but no running back has had more than 16 carries against Cleveland this season.

Colts will be 1st team to 20 points (+120)

The Colts only scored 19 points in Week 4 against the Chicago Bears, but they reached 20 points first in each of their first three games, including their Week 1 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Cleveland has reached 20 before its opponent only twice this season.

Colts OVER FGs made 2.5 (-125)

The Colts have had no fewer than two field goals in any game this season. Twice, they kicked four. They only score touchdowns on 46.7% of their red zone trips. The Browns have allowed at least four scoring drives in every game this season and have allowed six in three of four.

QB Daniel Jones OVER 268.5 passing yards (+105)

The Dallas defense has been shredded through the air. Three of four quarterbacks it has faced this season have thrown for at least 269 yards.

Jones OVER 0.5 interceptions (-213)

Jones has thrown at least one interception in every game this season so far.

Giants OVER 2.5 FGs made (-112)

The Giants have had three made field goals in each of the last two games. They struggle to score touchdowns but the Cowboys have given up at least six scoring drives in each of the last three games. New York will have opportunities to score but will not get into the end zone much.

WR Darius Slayton UNDER 4.5 receptions (-162)

Slayton has had exactly three receptions each of his last three games.

TE Evan Engram UNDER 47.5 receiving yards (-115)

Engram has only surpassed that total once this season, gaining 65 yards in Week 2. However, the Cowboys have allowed over 47 yards to a tight end in two of four games this season.

NFL Prop Bets Payday: 5 New York Jets prop bets to make in Week 5

Highlighting five New York Jets prop bets to make for their Week 5 home matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.

The New York Jets (0-4) host the Arizona Cardinals (2-2) at MetLife Stadium Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. Below, we give you five player/team prop bets to consider from the BetMGM game menu.

5 New York Jets prop bets to make in Week 5

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 11:03 p.m. ET.

QB Joe Flacco OVER 233.5 passing yards (-115)

While the Jets have the worst passing offense in the league, starting quarterbacks have thrown for more than 233 yards against the Cardinals in three of four games. That and the fact that the Jets are likely to trail for most of this game, Flacco will hit the Over.

WR Jamison Crowder OVER 5.5 receptions (+100)

Crowder returns from injury and the Jets are without Breshad Perriman. In earlier games against the Cardinals this season, Carolina Panthers WR Robby Anderson had eight catches, Detroit Lions WR Kenny Golladay had six and Washington Football Team WR Terry McLaurin had seven. A team’s No. 1 receiver has gone over 5.5 catches in all but Week 1 against the Cardinals, and the 49ers didn’t have their top two receivers.

Crowder OVER 61.5 receiving yards (-115)

Again, citing Anderson, Golladay and McLaurin, all had more than 61 receiving yards against the Cardinals.

Joe Flacco OVER 0.5 interceptions (-182)

The Cardinals officially recorded their first interception of the season last week. Technically, they had interceptions in two other games, but penalties nullified them. With the number of times the Jets will have to throw, he will turn the ball over at least once.

Le’Veon Bell OVER 17.5 receiving yards (-110)

Bell returns to the lineup after missing three games with a hamstring injury. He had 32 receiving yards in his one game this season. A running back has had at least 19 yards against the Cardinals in three of four games.

So far this season, the Lions have scored 13, 14 and 17 points in the first half of their three games.

WR Kenny Golladay will score the Lion’ 1st TD (+375)

He made his debut last week against the Arizona Cardinals and scored once. He led the NFL in TD receptions in 2019 and is the Lions’ best offensive player and the best bet to score first for Detroit.
