NFL Player Odds and Props
Cleveland Browns
Quinshon Judkins anytime touchdown (+110)
Judkins scored his first rushing touchdown of the season against Pittsburgh and finished with 96 yards from scrimmage. New York just allowed Chicago to rush for 232 yards, making Judkins an appealing touchdown option.
Denzel Boston Over 47.5 receiving yards (-114)
Boston has quickly become Cleveland’s top downfield threat. The rookie had four catches for 89 yards against Pittsburgh and leads the Browns with 284 receiving yards through four games.
New York Jets
Garrett Wilson anytime touchdown (+125)
Wilson has 24 receptions for 270 yards and two touchdowns this season. With New York potentially missing several offensive weapons, the Jets should continue leaning heavily on their No. 1 receiver.
Braelon Allen Under 70.5 rushing yards (-113)
Allen handled all 14 of New York’s rushing attempts with Breece Hall sidelined against Chicago, finishing with 59 yards. He should remain the Jets’ lead back if Hall is unavailable, but Cleveland presents a difficult matchup, and New York’s struggling offence could again limit its opportunities.
Cleveland Browns
Cleveland has responded impressively since its opening loss. Watson has thrown five touchdowns against one interception during the three-game winning streak and has also contributed with his legs.
The Browns’ defence is coming off one of its best performances. Cleveland sacked Aaron Rodgers five times and intercepted him twice against Pittsburgh.
Boston has also emerged as an important weapon. His 284 receiving yards are the most by a Browns rookie through his first four games.
New York Jets
New York needs a significant offensive response after being dominated in Chicago.
The Jets were outgained 492-157 and failed to convert any of their seven third-down attempts. Geno Smith threw for only 119 yards, with 58 coming on a fourth-quarter touchdown pass.
Injuries are another concern. Running back Hall missed Week 4 with a quad injury, leaving his status worth monitoring ahead of Sunday.
The Jets return home after consecutive road losses at Detroit and Chicago.
