Best Rams vs. Jaguars Player Prop Picks for Week 7: Hunter, Etienne Should Feature in Jags’ Passing Attack

Sunday’s NFL predictions for Week 7 get underway early at Wembley Stadium in London (9:30 a.m. ET, NFL Network) as the Los Angeles Rams take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in a clash of 4-2 teams. Oddsmakers made LA an early three-point betting favorite with an Over/Under of 45 points.

My best Rams vs. Jaguars player props and NFL picks for Sunday morning’s matchup are backing players from both sides to make plays in the passing game, including a heavier workload for rookie Travis Hunter.

⬆️ Travis Hunter Over 3.5 receptions (-146) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

With Jacksonville struggling to generate production from its wide receivers, Jaguars head coach Liam Coen told ESPN this week that he’s looking to design and call more plays in which Hunter is the primary read.

Although Hunter’s four receptions last week against the Seattle Seahawks were the most he’s had since Week 1, he’s hauled in at least three balls in five of six games and drawn at least five targets in four of them. He also received career highs in snap share and route share last week, resulting in seven targets.

I’m most comfortable taking Over 3.5 receptions at DraftKings’ -146 odds, which implies a 59.35% probability and the chance to profit $6.85 on a $10 bet. However, if you believe increased emphasis on Hunter could lead to a breakout performance from the rookie, you may also also want to consider BetMGM’s +125 price on Over 4.5 receptions.

⬆️ Travis Etienne Jr. Over 2.5 receptions (-118) ⭐⭐⭐

Jacksonville’s offensive line looked more like a turnstile last week against the Seahawks, allowing seven sacks of Trevor Lawrence and failing to create many holes in the run game either.

I’m expecting the Jags to combat those issues by calling more pass plays to Etienne and the Jacksonville backfield. Etienne has already seen more work through the air the past two weeks, including a season-high four receptions and five targets against Seattle.

Meanwhile, the Rams have allowed 17 receptions to opposing running backs over the past two weeks alone. BetMGM’s -118 odds on Etienne Over 2.5 receptions imply a 54.13% probability that he catches at least three passes Sunday morning, paying $8.47 profit on a $10 wager.

🔥 Tyler Higbee anytime TD scorer (+285) ⭐⭐

With two of the Rams’ top receivers — Puka Nacua (ankle) and Tutu Atwell (hamstring) — either out or dealing with injuries that could limit them, Higbee could play a larger role in the passing game. 

He’s also coming off his most productive game of the season, catching a touchdown pass and finishing with four catches for 40 yards. Higbee can exploit a Jaguars defense that has been vulnerable over the middle of the field in recent weeks, allowing 60+ receiving yards to tight ends in three straight games.

FanDuel, Caesars and bet365 are among the top NFL sportsbooks offering +280 on Higbee anytime touchdown this week, but DraftKings' price is even better at +285. A $10 bet there can return $28.50 profit with an implied probability of 25.97%.
