The New York Jets will host the New Orleans Saints and Taysom Hill on Sunday in Week 14. 

WynnBET has the Saints as 5.5-point road favorites, but what prop bets should you consider in this game?

Here are a few I like for the Saints-Jets matchup: 

Best Prop Bets for Saints vs. Jets

  • Alvin Kamara OVER 68.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
  • New York Jets Team Total UNDER 17.5 Points (-115)
  • Taysom Hill Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+125)

Alvin Kamara OVER 68.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Alvin Kamara is finally back for the Saints, and with Taysom Hill under center, I expect Sean Payton’s team to go to a run-heavy game plan. 

Kamara has only hit the over on this number four times in eight games, but he’s facing a Jets defense that has allowed the fifth most rushing yards in the NFL this season and 4.5 yards per carry. 

The Saints are going to get their best player heavily involved as they try to salvage any hope at a playoff spot. 

New York Jets Team Total UNDER 17.5 Points (-115)

The Saints are 16th in the NFL in points allowed this season, but they’re facing a rookie quarterback in Zach Wilson who won’t have much at his disposal on Sunday. 

Elijah Moore, Corey Davis, Michael Carter and Tevin Coleman are all out for the Jets, leaving Wilson with a third-string running back and below-average receiving corps to work with. 

The Jets are averaging just 18.1 points per game this season, and I think this could be a long day for Wilson and company. 

Taysom Hill Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+125)

Sean Payton used a run-heavy offense with Hill last season, and that makes him a great weapon in the red zone. 

As I mentioned, the Jets have allowed the fifth most rushing yards this season, and they’ve also allowed the most rushing touchdowns (21) in the league this season.

I’m choosing Hill because of the value at +125 and the fact that he ran for a touchdown in two of his four starts last season, scoring two apiece in those games. I think the Saints will be able to get whatever they want on the ground Sunday.
