Best Player Props: Lions vs. Jets - Zonovan Knight, Jared Goff, and Amon-Ra St. Brown | Week 15
The Detroit Lions head to the MetLife Stadium as they take on the New York Jets. It's a vital game for both teams, as the losers will likely have their playoff chances shattered.
Detroit is coming off a massive win against the Minnesota Vikings. Not only did they knock off one of the top teams in the NFC, but they kept their playoff hopes alive with that win. They are a game out of the Wild Card slot, but given the teams ahead of them, they should be able to make the postseason if they can win out.
The Jets are the only team in the AFC not to be holding a playoff slot. Between the Patriots, Dolphins, and Jets, two of them should land a spot on Wild Card Weekend.
Lions vs. Jets Match Details
Fixture: Detriot Lions @ New York Jets
Date & Time: Sunday, December 18, 1:05 p.m. EDT
Venue: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ
Lions vs. Jets Player Prop #1 - Jared Goff Over 230.5 Passing Yards (-113)
This is an odd line, given how Jared Goff has been playing of late. He has had more than 231 passing yards in his previous two games and five of his last seven.
Things are really starting to click for Detroit as they have won five of their last six, and their only loss came against the Bills on Thanksgiving, where they only lost by 3.
Goff needs to have another great game to bring home a victory, but 231 yards is nothing for the former number one pick.
Lions vs. Jets Player Prop #2 - Amon-Ra St. Brown Over 74.5 Receiving Yards (-113)
Amon-Ra St. Brown has been an absolute stud for his team. He is fifth in the league in receptions and hopes to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards this week.
He had a down week in Week 14, only picking up 68 yards against the Vikings, but he had 75+ receiving yards in the four weeks prior. Going for a big win this week, he should have no problem hitting this prop.
Lions vs. Jets Player Prop #3 - Zonovan Knight Over 64.5 Rushing Yards
Zonovan Knight has been called up to RB1 with the injuries the Jets have sustained. This is the fourth week he has played this year, but he has dominated the prior three weeks.
Knight is averaging 77 yards per game, and knowing the Jets will look to the run game, he should be able to hit that number today.
