Mims' Thursday Night Football Picks: Jaguars vs Jets, Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson props, over/under, point spread

A Jacksonville loss knocks them out of playoff contention. A Jets win, put them back in the picture.

Robert Mims

The Thursday Night Game has the Jacksonville Jaguars  against the New York Jets.  The Jets are  favored by 2 and the total is 37. The money line is the Jets -135 and the Jags +115. The Jets are the home team.

Head Coaching Match Up: Jets Head Coach Robert Saleh and Jaguars Head Coach  Doug Pederson are even.

The last five:  Jaguars  are 3-2 over their last five and 2-5 on the road. Jets are  1-4 over their last 5 and 3-4 at home.

Prop Bets: Quarterback Trevor Lawrence under 229.5 passing yards. The price is -115. Jets have held 3 of their last 4 opposing quarterbacks to less than 200 yards. Take him under.  Zach Wilson over 0.5 to throw an interception. The price is -214. The Jags have 12 defensive interceptions this season. Take Wilson over.

Consensus: 52% of the money is on the Jets. The total is 62% over.

The Selection: The  Jets have lost 3 straight games. Jags have won two in a row.  Jets are trending in the wrong direction.  This should be a defensive game where the team that creates the most turnovers prevails. Take the Jags  and the under.

Follow me on Twitter during the second quarter of the game. I will be back on Monday Night with my preview of the game between the Los Angeles Chargers  and the Indianapolis Colts.
