4 Best Prop Bet Picks for Jaguars vs Raiders

1. Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. Anytime Touchdown

Backup quarterback Mac Jones has formed a connection with rookie receiver Brian Thomas Jr. Thomas has had at least 10 targets in three straight games, per Jaguars vs Raiders stats.

🐆 64 receptions (2nd)
🐆 956 receiving yards (1st)

The rook has reached 75 or more yards in four consecutive outings. Thomas has posted a touchdown in two of the last three games. The wideout has three TDs during this stretch.

There are a few ways to attack Thomas’ props against the Raiders. The best value for your online bet is to take Thomas to score a touchdown for a +160 return.

Bet Brian Thomas Anytime Touchdown (+160)

2. Raiders TE Brock Bowers Over 64.5 Receiving Yards

It is time to get Brock Bowers back on track. The best way to do that is for Desmond Ridder to head back to the bench, and it appears Aidan O’Connell is trending towards playing, per NFL news.

Bowers has not topped 50 yards in the last two games. I’m still old enough to remember when Bowers had 10 receptions for 140 yards and a TD against the Chiefs. That is because it happened on Nov. 29.

Taking the rookie’s anytime touchdown is an intriguing bet. We’re playing it safe in the NFL betting lines by taking the over on Bowers’ receiving yards instead, but don’t be afraid to take both.

Brock Bowers is 8th in the NFL with 968 receiving yards. Ladd McConkey is 9th with 960.

Never have 2 rookies from the same college finished in the top 10 in receiving yards in the same season.

3. Jaguars QB Mac Jones Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns

It is the holiday season, so why not give Mac Jones another chance. Let’s not go crazy, I’m not talking about Jones as a permanent QB1. Just taking a flier on Jones’ props against the Raiders.

Jones has combined for four touchdown passes over the last three weeks. The Jags quarterback has thrown two TDs in two of the last three games.

If Kirk Cousins was not seeing ghosts in Vegas, the Falcons quarterback could have had a big day against the Raiders a week ago. Look for Jones to have some success against Las Vegas as both teams search for vacation spots on Hotels.com.

Take the over for Jones’ touchdown passes in NFL bets today.

Bet This Pick: Mac Jones Over 1.5 TD passes (+171)

4. Jaguars QB Mac Jones Over 0.5 Interceptions

Yes, Jones has been solid in recent weeks, but the quarterback is still making mistakes like it is an office holiday party. Jones has thrown an interception in four of his last five games.

The Jags quarterback has had two straight games with two picks. Jones has thrown seven interceptions over his last five contests.

All that to say, this dude loves throwing interceptions. Maybe Jones will join Jameis Winston in praying for deliverance from throwing interceptions. Chances are those prayers won’t be answered until after Christmas.

Take the over on Jones’ interceptions in the NFL predictions.

Bet on Mac Jones Over 0.5 Interceptions (-152)
