The Vikings are taking on the Titans in a cross-conference battle on Sunday. Here are some Justin Jefferson prop bets to consider at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Justin Jefferson Prop Bets
Here are Justin Jefferson’s current prop bet odds at DraftKings Sportsbook: o/u 5.5 receptions and o/u 80.5 receiving yards. Jefferson is -105 to score a touchdown, +600 to score 2+ touchdowns and +550 to score the first touchdown of the game.
Justin Jefferson is coming off his worst performance of the season, in terms of receiving yards, against Jacksonville last week. It is not a coincidence that it coincided with Sam Darnold’s worst game as a Viking so far. Minnesota’s offense consistently stalled out and Darnold threw three interceptions. That being said, they still got the win and should be ready to keep that winning streak going against a bad Titans team.
Tennessee’s defense is 16th in the league in EPA/pass; however, they are first in passing defense and second in yards per pass attempt allowed. Some of this can be attributed to the fact that most teams have comfortably beaten the Titans, so they have had no need to be aggressive or keep throwing late into games. However, Tennessee also has an underrated defense because of how bad their record is. For that reason, I don’t want to target the yardage total for Jefferson. The Titans should be able to limit deep shots from the Minnesota offense.
However, the lack of explosive plays should equal more total passing attempts by Sam Darnold. Instead of explosive plays, Minnesota should be forced to move the ball methodically down the field. Especially after throwing three bad interceptions last week, Darnold will want to play conservatively and get the ball in the hands of his best receiver: Justin Jefferson. Therefore, I am betting Jefferson to go over 5.5 receptions against the Titans. Jefferson cleared that number in six straight games before last week’s dud performances against Jacksonville. Darnold and Jefferson should bounce-back in this spot and clear this number.
Pick: Justin Jefferson o5.5 Receptions (-135)
