Jacksonville Jaguars
The Bet: Leonard Fournette under 1100.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
Fournette is a terrific running back, make no mistake. But he only scored three touchdowns in 2019 (to 1,152 rushing yards), and the Jaguars could very well be trailing in games often in 2019 (meaning — rushing the ball may be an afterthought).
Heck, Fournette was rumored to be traded last season, so the franchise may not be too in love with him. Shoot for the under on his rushing total.
Kansas City Chiefs
The Bet: Patrick Mahomes over 36.5 Touchdown Passes (-110)
Last season, Patrick Mahomes “only” notched 26 touchdowns passes. In an odd way, Mahomes won a Super Bowl in a “down year” by his individual standards. In 2020, he will reaffirm his aerial supremacy and account for more than 36 touchdowns. He better — he’s the half-billion-dollar man.
Las Vegas Raiders
The Bet: Henry Ruggs under 800.5 Receiving Yards (-145)
This prognostication does not mean Ruggs won’t be good or explosive. He probably will be. Yet, 800+ receiving yards in a rookie season sounds achievable, but it seldom occurs. In fact, only two first-rounders have achieved this since 2015, Calvin Ridley and Amari Cooper.
Ruggs will be fun to watch, but he’ll check in south of 800 receiving yards during his maiden voyage. After all, Derek Carr already has Hunter Renfrow, Darren Waller, Tyrell Williams, Nelson Agholor, and Josh Jacobs to accommodate.
Los Angeles Chargers
The Bet: Under 7.5 Wins (+100)
Cleveland tried a Tyrod Taylor experiment in 2018. It lasted for about three weeks.
The Chargers are giving it a whirl with Justin Herbert awaiting a patch-over at some point in the near future. Los Angeles indeed has an assortment of playmakers, but uncertainty at the quarterback position will level them out at a 6-10 or 7-9 record
