Browns vs. Jaguars Player Prop
Against Jacksonville, Joe Flacco’s passing yards prop is 191.5. Currently, the payout for going over this threshold is -116, while it’s -116 for staying under it.
Flacco has thrown for 254 yards on 44 attempts so far this season. His completion rate currently sits at 52.3%, and he maintains a passer rating of 75.4. Considering that Jacksonville’s defense has been able to apply pressure up-front so far, I’m taking the under on Flacco’s passing prop.
- The Prop: Joe Flacco Under 191.5 Passing Yards (-116)
Browns VS. Jaguars Predictions
The Browns opened as 2.0 favorites at home and since then, the oddsmakers have shifted the lines to -3.5 in their favor.
This is a game of backup quarterbacks, and I feel like this is an overcorrection of the Jaguars being without Trevor Lawrence. Expect a tight, low-scoring game with the Jaguars keeping it within the number.
