Giants vs. Jets Player Prop
Allen Lazard is up against the Giants this week, and his receiving yards prop stands at 31.5 yards.
Coming into week 8, Lazard has accumulated 210 receiving yards. He has an average of 3.8 targets per game, and his 15 yards per reception ranks 27th among receivers. The receiving yards prop for Lazard appears to be on the high side, especially when considering the Jets have not been looking to air it out so far this season. My bet is going to be on the under, set at 31.5 yards.
The Prop: Allen Lazard Under 31.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Giants VS. Jets Predictions
From the time the lines were first released, the Jets have transitioned from -2.5 point favorites to their current line of -3 (-106).
The Jets didn’t look good in the passing game in their most recent game vs. Philadelphia. Meanwhile, the Giants have been playing better defense and cutting back on their turnovers with Tyrod Taylor at quarterback. For those reasons, I like the Giants as 3-point underdogs.
