The Jaguars dominated the Chargers last week and now begin a two-game road trip starting in Arizona.
The Cardinals, meanwhile, have lost two straight and seven of their last eight. Although at home, the Cardinals are underdogs in this one.
Jacksonville is a 2.5-point favorite and -142 on the moneyline, while Arizona is +120 on DraftKings Sportsbook. The game total is set at 47.5 points.
Here are my favorite player props for this Week 12 NFL game between the Cardinals and Jaguars.
Cardinals vs. Jaguars Best Prop Bets
Trey McBride anytime touchdown (-110)
It’s hard to argue that Trey McBride isn’t the best tight end in the league right now. He’s posting ridiculous numbers each week thanks to Jacoby Brissett’s willingness to sling the rock.
McBride has seven touchdowns this season and at least one in five straight games.
He’s not only getting a ton of scoring chances; he’s getting a lot of targets in general. McBride has five games of double-digit targets with four of those coming in the past five games. The one time he didn’t hit 10, he finished with nine.
Additionally, McBride has over 100 receiving yards in two straight games — against Seattle and San Francisco. There will be plenty more of this on Sunday as Brissett keeps firing.
Jacoby Brissett over 245.5 passing yards (-113)
In conjunction with the McBride bet, we’re riding Brissett’s hot streak. Although the Cardinals are losing games, Brissett is posting great stats.
He’s surpassed this mark in all five of his starts this season, with a high of 452 yards in last week’s performance. He also has a good matchup against Jacksonville this week. The Jaguars allow the sixth most passing yards and fourth most pass attempts.
That same defense has the second most interceptions this year, but Brissett is the all-time interception percentage leader, tied with Aaron Rodgers at 1.4%.
This game should go as every Brissett start has this year. Lots of yards, lots of pass attempts and likely a loss.
Michael Wilson over 5.5 receptions (+116)
Typically, I find at least one bet for each squad, but I’m leaning heavily into the Cardinals’ offense this week. While I don’t necessarily think they win, the offense is hard not to bet on.
With Marvin Harrison Jr. out, Michael Wilson has stepped up as the top receiver and secondary pass-catcher behind McBride. Wilson caught 15-of-18 targets last week for 185 receiving yards. That kind of performance is unlikely to happen again, but even half of that would hit the over.
Other than last week’s outlier, Wilson hasn’t had more than four receptions in a game this year. That should change as the Jaguars allow a ton of passing yards, and Brissett is going to throw a lot as usual.
