NFL Wild Card Player Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Predictions: Chargers vs. Jaguars
Austin Ekeler anytime touchdown (-155)
Ekeler had a fantastic season as he set personal highs in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, and receiving yards. The Chargers get a tough matchup heading to Duval county facing the Jaguars that have been red hot the last few weeks.
Ekeler will be a focal point in moving the ball like he has all season, especially if Mike Willams is out. He has a favorable matchup against Jacksonville, who has allowed 14 rushing touchdowns this season. He had the third-most carries inside the 20, and six of his eight carries inside five found paydirt.
Travis Etienne OVER 78.5 rushing yards (-114)
The Jaguars are one of the hottest teams coming into the playoffs, winning their final five games to win the AFC South. Etienne was solidified as their starting when they traded James Robinson in the middle of the season.
Robinson was still on the team back in Week 3 when the Jaguars faced the Chargers, and Etienne had just 45 rushing yards. Los Angeles finished 27th this season in rushing yards allowed per game and last in yards allowed per carry. With Etienne as the bell cow, he will get a lot of carries and put up a great stat line.
