2. Mac Jones over 260.5 passing yards (-115)

If Brady turns in a memorable performance like everybody thinks he will, Mac Jones is going to have to throw to keep the Patriots within striking distance. The best part about betting on passing yards is that every yard counts the same.

Whether it’s the first quarter or garbage time in the fourth with New England trailing by two touchdowns, Jones should be dropping back to pass.

The crazy part about Jones’ passing yards props is that it consistently sits in the 240-260-yard range and he’s thrown for over 260 yards in all but one game, and that came against the Jets when he wasn’t asked to do much.

The Buccaneers secondary can he had this season — they rank dead-last in the NFL with 338.3 passing yards allowed per game — plus the group is dealing with injuries to key players. Yes, Jones will need time to throw and Tampa’s front seven is as vaunted as they come, but over 260.5 yards is hardly a tall ask.

At -115 odds (bet $115 to win $100), we’re all over this bet.
