Broncos vs. Jets Player Prop
For this week matchup, Breece Hall has a rushing yards prop set at 59.5. The over is offering a payout of -121, which implies odds of 55%, while the under is paying out at -111 (53%).
Across four games, Breece Hall has 32 rushing attempts and gained 210 yards. Heading into week 5 he is 19th among running backs in yardage.
I think there is a ton of value in Hall’s prop of 59.5 yards. He should be able to take advantage of a defense that is 31st in rushing yards allowed.
The Prop: Breece Hall Over 59.5 Rushing Yards (-121)
Broncos vs. Jets Predictions
Since the lines were initially posted, Denver has seen movement from -3 point favorites to their current line of -2.5 (-110).
Even though the Jets are 2.5-point road underdogs vs. the Broncos, I like the Jets to cover the spread. New York’s defense closed out their most recent game with a solid performance and should keep the Broncos’ offense in check. O
n the other hand, the Broncos have a historically bad rushing defense up to this point, so look for Breece Hall and company to move the chains consistently for Gang Green.
