Sunday’s clash between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Las Vegas Raiders is a battle between teams that wanted to change the narrative this year. So far, Jacksonville is succeeding while Vegas is flailing. As they continue their journeys back to relevance, they’ll tee off against one another in the afternoon window.
Jacksonville is a three-point favorite and -155 on the moneyline, while Las Vegas is +130 on DraftKings Sportsbook. The game total is set at 43.5 points. Here are my favorite player props for this Week 9 NFL game between the Jaguars and the Raiders.
Jaguars vs. Raiders Best Prop Bets
Ashton Jeanty Under 60.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
Ashton Jeanty has been one of the only bright spots in the Raiders’ offense. That’s going to be a problem against this Jaguars front seven.
They have a lot of gap-eaters up front and the best linebacking duo in the league between Devin Lloyd and Foyesade Oluokun. Those two will combine to bottle up Jeanty if he manages to get sufficient room behind a poor blocking OL.
Trevor Lawrence Under 0.5 Interceptions (-115)
Defensive playmaking is not the strength of this Raiders team. Las Vegas has reeled in only three interceptions through seven games as its secondary has struggled in general. Trevor Lawrence has cleaned up a lot of his risky throws and takes what the defense gives him. Against Vegas, that’s a lot. He can pick up chunk gains without putting the ball in harm’s way and keep a clean slate.
Geno Smith Over 0.5 Interceptions (-138)
You know who isn’t going to keep a clean slate? One of the NFL’s worst interception throwers. Geno Smith’s first season in the desert has been a total disaster, tossing 10 picks over seven games. With Jacksonville’s penchant for creating turnovers and playmakers in the secondary, Smith’s got another bad arrow in the quiver for this game.
