Jacksonville Jaguars: 3 best prop bets for Thursday Night Football
The Jacksonville Jaguars still haven’t won in 2021 a game after three weeks of football. It won’t get any easier against a Cincinnati Bengals team that is currently 2-1 and has one of the best defenses in the NFL.
The Jags played a great first half against the Arizona Cardinals but couldn’t keep up in the second half of the game. On the bright side, Jacksonville displayed several reasons for optimism. Their defense keeps getting better and Andrew Wingard recorded their first takeaway of the year. Also, Jamal Agnew once again had a touchdown return. The 2017 fifth-round pick may not be able to keep scoring at that pace but could give the Jags a favorable field position against Cincy.
It would be big for the Jaguars to earn their first win of the season in their only primetime appearance of the year. It would surely give the locker room a great morale boost. But it won’t be easy, they are an 8-point underdog ahead of the game, according to WynnBET.
Here are a few enticing player prop bets for the Jaguars’ Week4 matchup against the Bengals.
Three Jacksonville Jaguars player prop bets you might like.
1. Running back James Robinson, first touchdown scorer (+1000).
The Jaguars finally got running back James Robinson involved on offense after giving him a combined 16 carries in the first two games of the season. Against the Cardinals, the former Illinois State Redbird had 15 rushes for 88 yards and one touchdown. Moreover, he became one of nine players in NFL history to record 50 yards from scrimmage in each of their first 17 career games, per the team’s PR official Twitter account.
This prop is a bit risky but it could pay off big time. On the other hand, if you want a safer one, the odds of Robinson scoring anytime are set at +125.
2. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence, total passing touchdowns, two (over +120/under – 155).
This one is an interesting one because rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence has come down to earth after scoring three passing touchdowns in the season opener. In the last two games, he’s thrown just two touchdowns and has posted four interceptions. If the Jags want to pull the upset, the former Clemson Tiger will have to be more careful with the ball.
This one could go either way. After the “whirly bird” game, Lawrence should be able to bounce back and score more than two touchdowns. Also, it has better odds. Bet $100 on the over, and if he scores more than once, you will win $120 for a total payout of $220. On the other hand, put a wager of $155 on the under to win $100 if you think he will score less than two touchdowns for the third consecutive week.
3. Tight end Dan Arnold, anytime touchdown scorer (+350).
Because you should always expect the unexpected in the NFL, the Jacksonville Jaguars traded cornerback C.J. Henderson for tight end Dan Arnold this past Monday. Head coach Urban Meyer said the former Carolina Panther will play Thursday. The coaching staff will try to get him involved as much as possible. Don’t be surprised if Arnold scores in his first game with the Black and Teal.
