I'm not champing on the bit to put factors in video games with spreads of seven or extra factors this 12 months.
Together with the Giants' 34-15 conquer the Eagles on Thursday, underdogs that opened with a 6.5-point handicap or extra are 5-0 within the final week — a development I'm starting to note on the season.
Contemplating the Broncos are ranked No. 6 total in EPA and the Jets rank twenty ninth, Sunday morning's matchup in London needs to be a no brainer. I'm not holding my breath on these worldwide video games although; the underdog is 3-0 ATS in them this season.
That stated, I'm additionally not letting these winless Jets spoil my breakfast.
Even in opposition to the porous Dallas protection, the offense couldn't discover a groove. Justin Fields was sacked 5 occasions and one other whopping 11 penalties for 91 yards stunted their aptitude.
And right here's a enjoyable truth for you in case you haven't already heard: the Jets are the primary staff in NFL historical past to start out a season 0-5 with out a single defensive takeaway.
Move.
By means of all of this incompetence, somebody on Gang Inexperienced who continues to be matchup proof is Garrett Wilson. He's reeling in over six catches a sport for 76.4 yards and there's been a number of performs this season the place you simply must tip your cap to this man's big-play making potential.
Wilson's receiving prop line is ready at 52.5 yards on Sunday.
He'll draw protection from an elite man-to-man defender in Patrick Surtain II, who doesn't line up within the slot. I'm anticipating the Jets to make use of plenty of pre-snap motions with Wilson to shake off shadow protection and acquire yardage from fast slants.
I'll be upfront that there isn't a one between Calvin Ridley, Michael Pittman Jr., Ladd McConkey, Ja'marr Chase and A.J. Brown who crossed this line of their matchups with Surtain this season. Even with balls tossed his method in opposition to Surtain, Wilson has distinctive physique management mid-air the place he twists and contorts to make contested catches in site visitors with a large catch radius.
Betting on the NFL?
The Broncos have allowed one lonely landing to wideouts, the fewest of any staff within the NFL. Additionally they lead the sport in strain fee. Wilson is averaging 9.6 targets from Fields, so when he's underneath duress, he'll use his finest bail-out choice and it takes one explosive play to make a dent on this quantity.
Wilson has totaled the seventh-most yards earlier than catch from Fields and is tied for sixth total in first-down receiving.
He's cleared this line — and his yardage prop — in 4 of the 5 video games this season.
On a nationwide telecast overseas, it's a good wager for Wilson to drag out all of the stops with Fields as the one working cog on this offense in opposition to a secondary as robust as Denver's.
THE PICK: Garrett Wilson Over 52.5 Receiving Yards (-114 at FanDuel Sportsbook)
