Texans vs. Ravens NFL Player Props – Divisional Round
- Lamar Jackson OVER 0.5 Interceptions
- CJ Stroud OVER 0.5 Interceptions
- Devin Singletary OVER 60.5 Rushing Yards
Lamar Jackson OVER 0.5 Interceptions (+100), BetMGM
Jackson is likely to be named MVP for his stellar regular season, but he isn’t exactly prime Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers when it comes to ball security. Jackson threw 7 interceptions in 16 games this season, including 1 interception against the Texans in Week 1. Jackson and the majority of Baltimore’s offensive starters sat in Week 18, prior to having a bye during the Wild Card Round. Rust could be a legitimate issue for this group early in the game, and the weather conditions only increase the chances that Jackson or one of his pass catchers could do something to lead to an interception.
CJ Stroud OVER 0.5 Interceptions (-150), bet365
Stroud threw only 5 interceptions during the regular season as a rookie, but he likely should have had at least double that number, if not for some good luck with dropped balls by the defense. Among 27 qualified quarterbacks, Stroud ranked 13th in turnover-worthy-play rate, per PFF. He was even more prone to poor decision-making when under pressure, ranking 16th out of 24 quarterbacks in turnover-worthy-play rate when under duress. If the Ravens are able to get pressure on Stroud consistently, it is likely that the talented rookie makes at least one costly mistake in his first road playoff game.
Devin Singletary OVER 60.5 Rushing Yards (-115), BetMGM
Though Baltimore has a reputation for having one of the best defenses in the NFL, they have been extremely vulnerable on the ground since the midpoint of the regular season. From Week 10 to Week 17, the Ravens’ defense ranked 28th in Rush EPA/play and 31st in Rush Success Rate. Singletary has at least 63 rushing yards in each of his last 3 games and 5 of his last 6 games. He should be able to have another strong showing on Saturday in the Divisional Round.
