Read our Jaguars vs. Jets preview to find out who we’re picking to win.

Trevor Lawrence Over 229.5 Passing Yards (-115)

Through 14 games, Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence has passed for 3520 yards and he has 24 touchdown passes against seven interceptions. His passing yards per game is 251.4 on the year and he has thrown the ball an average of 289 yards over his last five games.

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

NFL Odds

Trevor Lawrence Longest Rush Over 8.5 Yards (-120)

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

Zay Jones Over 51.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

The Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones is second in receiving yards (784) on the team and first in receptions (74). He averages 10.3 yards per catch and he has averaged 58.8 yard per game.

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

NFL Picks

Evan Engram Over 48.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

One of the top pass-catching 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 catches for 610 yards and four touchdowns on the year.

Once again, if Lawrence goes over 229 passing yards, Engram will probably go over 48 receiving yards. He is a big target in the center of the field for passing plays and in late December, he is a sure-handed receiver in tough conditions.

Garret Wilson Anytime TD Scorer (+195)

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

The odds are high for Wilson to score a touchdown, but Jacksonville’s defense is 29th against the pass with 252.6 yards. Wilson has not had a touchdown catch in his last three games. However, he could score a touchdown in this contest against the Jaguars.
