NFL London Betting: Back Maye, Brian Thomas Jr.

• Drake Maye has -115 odds to go over 206.5 passing yards.
• Brian Thomas Jr.’s receiving yard total is 54.5.

LONDON – The NFL London games continue, and the Jacksonville Jaguars are the designated home team and favorites against the New England Patriots. While the Jaguars are favored, it could be hard to trust either side being that they both sit with a 1-5 record, meaning anything could happen.

Where the real value lies on legal sports betting sites is on the player props for each of their first-round rookies in Drake Maye and Brian Thomas Jr., who are seeing low totals set for their yardage against weak secondaries.

Trust Maye Against League Bottom Passing Defense

Drake Maye Total Passing Yards

• Over 206.5 -115
• Under 206.5 -115

Drake Maye had a decent first career NFL start against a top 5 passing defense in the Houston Texans, notching 243 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. Now, his next matchup against the Jaguars pits him against the worst passing defense in the NFL, which allows 276.7 passing yards per game. All but one opposing QB has gone over 206.5 passing yards against Jacksonville this season.

Maye and New England could also fall into a positive game script that forces them to throw the ball if the NFL odds hold and Jacksonville takes an early lead. Trust in Maye and slam the over for his passing yards before it’s too late.

Expect A Bounce Back For Brian Thomas Jr.

Brian Thomas Jr. Total Receiving Yards

• Over 54.5 -115
• Under 54.5 -115

Brian Thomas Jr. fell back to earth last week against the Chicago Bears, posting his lowest receiving yard total of the season at 27. However, that should not deter anyone from taking his over this week. He was bound to struggle against a Bears defense that is top-6 in passing yards allowed.

Nonetheless, Thomas has emerged as the Jags’ top pass catcher in his rookie season, notching 424 yards to this point and going over 54.5 yards in three of six games. He also has two catches of 60+ yards this season.

Thomas is going up against a poor New England secondary that has allowed at least one receiver to surpass 54.5 yards against them. Specifically, five of six opposing teams’ WR1s have surpassed this total. The Pats are bottom 10 in receiving yards allowed per game, and Brian Thomas Jr. could surpass this number in just a few receptions.
