Lamar Jackson is playing like a man on a mission.
The Baltimore Ravens quarterback, and presumptive NFL MVP, is dominating the 2023-24 season. He and his teammates are one win away from the Super Bowl, and Jackson will need to be huge again if the Ravens are going to unseat the defending champions the Kansas City Chiefs.
Here’s a look at some Jackson props to consider for the AFC Championship Game.
All Conference Championship odds used in these props are current as of Tuesday, Jan. 23, at 11 a.m. ET.
Lamar Jackson Prop Pick of the Day
Lamar Jackson Rushing Props
Lamar Jackson: Over 62.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
FanDuel Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
Jackson has gone for 70-plus rushing yards in three of his past five games, including a 100-yard, two-touchdown output in Baltimore’s 34-10 playoff win over the Houston Texans on Saturday.
Plus, the Chiefs’ defense was just gashed by Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills’ rushing attack. Allen had 72 rushing yards and two scores in Buffalo’s loss to KC.
The Chiefs have allowed at least 70 rushing yards to a quarterback in two of their past three games, and Jackson is a rushing threat like no other in football.
Plus, the Chiefs may be without linebacker and quarterback spy Willie Gay Jr. for the championship game because of a neck injury.
Jackson’s over seems like the best play.
Lamar Jackson: Anytime Touchdown (+120)
Bet365 Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
Jackson snapped a nine-game scoreless drought by finding pay dirt twice against Houston. The Chiefs have given up at least one rushing TD to a quarterback in two of their past four games, including Allen’s pair of scores Sunday.
It’s integral to shop for the best odds on this prop. Bet365 has the most lucrative number.
Lamar Jackson Passing Prop
Lamar Jackson: Under 29.5 Pass Attempts (-136)
FanDuel Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
Jackson has had fewer than 30 attempts in three of Baltimore’s past four games. If you feel, as I do, the Ravens will win and lead most of the game, Jackson isn’t likely to put the ball in the air much.
It’s possible that Jackson and the Ravens’ receivers may hit some big plays in the passing game, which is why I’m steering clear of Jackson’s passing-yards prop.
But Baltimore would prefer to run the ball against the Chiefs’ defense, which was gashed by Buffalo for 182 rushing yards Sunday.
There are more lucrative odds at other sportsbooks, but FanDuel was the only one with 29.5 as the number listed.
