The Los Angeles Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars meet at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
Where almost all home teams in international games are home by name only, this really is a second home for the Jaguars, who know this stadium like the back of their hands.
Both teams are stacked with talent, and there are some interesting Rams vs. Jaguars player props to get stuck into.
Read on for my NFL player props for Sunday, October 19.
Rams vs Jaguars props
Player | Pick | |
---|---|---|
Under 1.5 passing touchdowns | -160 | |
Over 83.5 receiving yards | -114 | |
Over 66.5 receiving yards | -114 |
Prop bet #1: Trevor Lawrence Under 1.5 passing touchdowns
The Jacksonville Jaguars are 4-2 and have had some memorable performances this season, with Liam Coen having transformed the team. That said Coen’s magic touch hasn’t been quite as successful with Trevor Lawrence.
Jacksonville's quarterback has had a very mixed start to the season. The team are winning games so he’s avoiding a degree of scrutiny but he’s thrown five interceptions in six games and is yet to have a QB rating of over 100.
He's only thrown eight touchdown passes this season, exactly the same as he had at this stage of last season. A real concern is that he’s only thrown multiple touchdowns in two of six games so far and that’s unlikely to change on Sunday, despite their familiarity with Wembley Stadium.
The Los Angeles Rams have only allowed opposition quarterbacks to throw seven touchdowns in their six games this year and Lawrence, based on what we’ve seen so far this season, is unlikely to have a lot of success against this defense.
Prop bet #2: Davante Adams Over 83.5 receiving yards
When it comes to must-play props nobody is topping Davante Adams in this matchup. There are three main reasons for that. Firstly, Puka Nacua is out. Nacua is Matthew Stafford’s favorite target. He had double digit targets in four of the five games he finished and had 100+ yards in three of those. Those targets need to go somewhere and Adams should pick up some of the slack.
Secondly, Adams has been good this season, even if he’s only found the endzone three times. He’s been averaging 4.3 receptions per game and 55.6 yards per game. It’s really not a stretch to see his additional volume helping him reach the Over here.
The chances of that are increased given that the Rams are facing the Jaguars. This is a defensive unit who have improved hugely this season but they still rank fourth in terms of most passing yards allowed per game with 256.3. They’ve a funnel against the pass and Adams should be ready to capitalize.
Prop bet #3: Brian Thomas Jr Over 66.5 receiving yards
It’s not just Lawrence who’s had a disappointing year for the Jaguars, as anybody that drafted Brian Thomas Jr. in their fantasy league’s will tell you. He’s only had one touchdown this season and is yet to have a 100+ yard game. That’s a far cry from last season in which he had four 100+ yard games and scored 10 touchdowns.
Despite his season so far, there’s real confidence in him improving. Over the first three games of the seasons he had just seven catches, averaging just 38.3 receiving yards and failing to score. In three games following that he’s been heavily involved with 17 receptions and averaging 73 yards.
The team have done this by moving him around the field and getting him in better spots to improve his catching percentage. He’s responded well and going forward he should be getting big yardage every week. Expect him to over his 66.5 receiving yard line here.
