Jaguars vs. Raiders Player Prop Bets: Best Week 9 Player Props & TD Predictions

Jacksonville and Las Vegas are each rested coming off byes last week, and I analyze what each team’s offense could look like with extra preparation as part of my Jaguars vs. Raiders player prop bets.

Jacksonville is a three-point betting favorite despite being 1-6 after its bye week since 2018, which is tied for the worst such record in the league. Kickoff from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday afternoon (FOX). 

My NFL picks expect a change in the Jaguars’ offensive philosophy to benefit their skill position players, while its opportunistic defense should take advantage of the turnover-prone Geno Smith. It’s all part of our NFL predictions for Week 9.

💰 Best Jaguars vs. Raiders player props

⬆️ Bhayshul Tuten Over 20.5 rushing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten saw a season-high 21 snaps in Week 7. There is precedent for young running backs growing as a season goes on in Liam Coen’s offenses. In Tampa Bay, Bucky Irving was playing 40% of the snaps and seeing 13 opportunities per game before the team’s bye, which increased to a 50% snap share and 20 opportunities per game after the bye.

Coen stressed the importance of offensive balance coming out of the bye week, as the Jaguars threw 90 passes compared to 38 runs in a two-game losing streak. That should benefit Tuten, who is looking for his fourth game with 21-plus rushing yards this season.

Tuten’s O/U is at 22.5 at the high end of the market. Therefore, FanDuel provides the best price and number for this wager. Through its -114 odds at a 53.27% implied probability, a $10 winning wager would net $8.77 in profits.

⬆️ Geno Smith Over 0.5 interceptions (-135) ⭐⭐⭐

Raiders quarterback Geno Smith’s 10 interceptions are tied for the most in the NFL despite playing one fewer game than many. This is about as poor of a matchup as it gets for a turnover-prone quarterback, as Jacksonville is one of three teams in the league with 10-plus interceptions. 

That is a big reason the Jaguars are tied for the second-best turnover differential (plus-eight).

Smith’s implied odds to throw an interception are as high as 59.68% through Caesars’ -148 price. But I am headed to BetMGM for the best return on my $10 wager, as its -135 odds would pay out $7.41 in profits if Smith throws a pick.

6️⃣ Best touchdown scorer prediction for Jaguars vs. Raiders

🔥 Brian Thomas Jr. to score a touchdown (+145) ⭐⭐⭐

Jacksonville’s wide receiver room is a mess at the moment. The team just placed Travis Hunter on IR (knee), and has fellow wideouts Dyami Brown (shoulder) and Tim Patrick (groin) not 100% at the moment. While Brian Thomas Jr. is dealing with a shoulder injury of his own, I am confident enough that he will take on a bigger role in the passing game amid all the other injuries.

Thomas Jr. may have five drops this season, but the Raiders have been poor at defending perimeter wide receivers. Thomas is also just two games removed from his best output of the season, when he hauled in eight of 10 targets for 90 yards and a touchdown. 

This is a three-star best touchdown scorer prediction, as Las Vegas plays zone coverage at the third-highest rate, which is where Thomas has had most of his success.

I’m backing Thomas to score for the second time this season with a $10 wager through bet365’ +145 anytime touchdown odds. Those odds carry a 40.82% implied probability and would net $14.50 in profits if Thomas does find the endzone.
