One Jaguars player you should bet to score a TD in Week 17

The Jacksonville Jaguars offense was a mess in Week 16, turning the ball over four times against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and only managing to get points on the board in the last 16 minutes of a game that was already well out of hand.

Fortunately for the Jaguars, a New Year’s Eve meeting with the 2-13 Carolina Panthers offers an opportunity for a much-needed get right game.

Only two teams have allowed more points than Carolina and no team has fewer takeaways.

One of the most popular ways to bet on an NFL game is the anytime touchdown scorer prop. You bet on one player to score a touchdown, and if they do, you make money.

Sounds simple, right?

It’s not as easy as it seems, but it is rewarding when the player you bet does find the end zone – especially if he plays for your team

With the Jaguars facing the Panthers on Sunday, we’ve highlighted one player you should bet to score a touchdown this week. Odds are courtesy of BetMGM.

Travis Etienne Jr anytime TD scorer: -175

Etienne, who has 10 touchdowns this season, is always the Jaguars player with the shortest odds at finding the end zone. But after finishing the last two games with 90 combined yards from scrimmage and no touchdowns, those odds present a solid value for Week 17.

While the Jaguars running game has been non-existent in December, the team will have Cam Robinson back against the Panthers, who have allowed a league-high 23 rushing touchdowns. There should be plenty of opportunities for Etienne to get his 11th touchdown of the year.
