Read our tip for jaguars vs jets to find out who we pick to win.

Trevor Lawrence: 229.5+ passing yards (-115)

In 14 games, Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence has passed for 3,520 yards and has 24 touchdown passes against seven interceptions. His passing yards per game are 251.4 on the year and he has averaged 289 yards in the past five games.

New York’s defense is fourth in passing yards per game at 193.9, but the Jets have given up a total of 67 points in their last three games. The odds are good that Lawrence will pass 229.5 yards in this game.

Trevor Lawrence: 8.5+ yards longest rushing (-120)

Lawrence is third in rushing for Jacksonville with 49 carries for 239 yards. He is averaging 4.9 yards per rushing attempt and has had a 9+ yard rush in five of his last seven games. Lawrence will find a hole and run for over 9 yards in this game.

Zay Jones: 51.5+ receiving yards (-115)

Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones is second in receiving yards (784) on the team and first in receptions (74). He is averaging 10.3 yards per catch and averaging 58.8 yards per game.

If Lawrence goes 229 passing yards, Jones would follow suit and go 51 receiving yards. He has passed 65 receiving yards in three of his last four games.

Evan Engram: 48.5+ receiving yards (-115)

One of the best tight ends in the NFL, Engram had 162 receiving yards against Tennessee and 62 receiving yards against Dallas in his last two games. He has 61 receptions for 610 yards and four touchdowns on the year.

Again, if Lawrence passes 229 passing yards, Engram will likely pass 48 receiving yards. He is a great target in the center of the field for passing plays, and as of late December, he is an accurate receiver in difficult conditions.

Garret Wilson: Scores a touchdown anytime (+195)

No matter who’s throwing the ball, Jets WR Garret Wilson leads the team in catching. He has 67 receptions for 966 yards in 14 games. He also leads in touchdown receptions with four on the year.

Wilson’s chances of scoring a touchdown are high, but Jacksonville’s defense is 29th against the pass with 252.6 yards. Wilson has not had a touchdown in his last three games. However, he can score a touchdown in this contest against the Jaguars.
