The Diagonal Guru offers us his best bets for the MNF between the Chargers and the Jets.
MIAMI — Matchday nine, once again, will have an intriguing Monday Night Football duel.
Los Angeles Chargers They snapped a two-game losing streak after beating the Chicago Bearsand they left a great image.
However, it could be difficult to replicate it against a phenomenal defense from the New York Jets; It will be a very nice duel of strengths in which something will have to give.
New York’s offense, for its part, did not look very good against the New York Giantsbut he managed to take the victory, and they have three victories in a row.
Without further ado, let’s go with our three favorite bets for this match:
1) AUSTIN EKELER OVER 46.5 YARDS RUSHING

On the surface, it may not seem like a very interesting bet, considering that Austin Thank you He has only surpassed 47 yards rushing once this season; It was in the debut against the Miami Dolphins. Then he got injured, and finally last week, he looked like his old version, although he had more impact through the air than on the ground.
However, each matchup is a different world, and in this particular matchup, the Chargers have to be patient and run the ball. The Jets defense is formidable against the passing attack, but this season it has been more vulnerable against the running attack. So much so, that only four teams have allowed more yards on the ground than the Jets.
nature of Justin Herbert is a pass, but if they give Ekeler at least 15 carries, he will easily surpass this number.
2) MORE THAN 2.5 LOSSES IN THE MATCH (-130)

A priori, the only scenario in which the Jets can be competitive in this game, considering that the consistency of their offense cannot be trusted, is if their defense manages to make Justin Herbert and company uncomfortable.
But while the Jets get the spotlight on defense, the reality is that we are in the presence of two of the most opportunistic defenses in the NFL in these first eight weeks of action. In fact, the Jets and Chargers have combined for 25 turnovers this season, and both are in the Top 5 in the forced turnovers department.
In other words, there will be several exchanges of the ball, and I love the highs in this sense.
3) KEENAN ALLEN UNDER 7.5 RECEPTIONS

It’s time to take advantage of the justified hype around Keenan Allenand go with a pick contrary to the common sense.
No one questions the fact that Allen is one of the best route runners in the NFL. After the injury of Mike Williams, Herbert is looking even more in his direction. Allen is having a great season; He comes from having eight receptions, and he even had a game with 18!
However, the Jets’ defense is neither Chicago’s nor the United States’. Minnesota Vikings, and the reality is that Allen has had at least eight receptions in three of seven games this season. This won’t be one of them.
