Jaguars vs. Bengals Predictions for NFL Week Two, Sunday 9/14

If you’re looking for a matchup of several of the highest recent NFL Draft picks, this one’s for you. While this year has all eyes on #2 overall pick Travis Hunter and his ability to play both ways, let’s not forget that Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence were selected #1 overall in back-to-back years (2020 and 2021, respectively).

Oh yeah, Ja'Marr Chase (#5 overall in 2021) and Travis Etienne (#25 in 2021) are also on the field. It’s almost as if we have an LSU vs. Clemson CFP Championship on the menu, and it’s the first set of former Tigers that seem to have the pressure on them.

While the Bengals escaped with a 17-16 win over the Cleveland Browns, their offense gained just seven (7!) yards in the second half! That’s as close to unbelievable as it gets, but with such a great matchup for Week 2, our Jaguars vs. Bengals predictions expect them to bounce back, which leads directly into our best bet. 
 

 

 

Jaguars vs. Bengals Best Bet: Ja'Marr Chase Anytime TD (“More” 84.5 Receiving Yards at PrizePicks)

Holy smokes, is there a juicier matchup for Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and the Bengals' passing offense to bounce back with? It’s borderline historic, if not unbelievable, how advantageous it is for Cincinnati.

Last year, Joe Burrow led the entire NFL with 4,918 passing yards, nearly 300 more than the next-closest QB (Jared Goff). Now he gets to face a Jags passing defense that not only allowed the most yards per game last season with 257.4 / game, but also 29 passing touchdowns on the year.

On top of all that, Jacksonville also allowed the third-most fantasy points to QBs and WRs. So, the only dilemma for your Jaguars vs. Bengals picks is picking your poison between Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, or otherwise. Frankly, the entire offense could go off, and of course, those two stars perfectly correlate with one another.

While there’s really no going wrong, we’ll stick with the preseason Offensive Player of the Year favorite. Sure, it’s not the plus-money we see for some guys, but he’s more than worth the price. As arguably the best WR in the NFL, Chase had 17 touchdowns last season, and he absolutely torched the Jags when these teams last met.

That was to the tune of 11 receptions on 12 targets for 149 yards and a touchdown. Chase also hit over his 84.5 passing yards prop in six straight games to close out last season! We fully expect both to hit, so we’ll phrase our Jaguars vs. Bengals predictions this way - Ja'Marr Chase to score an anytime touchdown (also use his played card at PrizePicks Fantasy).
