Following a 2-1 start, the Jaguars suffered their third straight loss on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, losing 34-27. In a crucial division game for both teams, Jacksonville jumped out to a 14-3 lead before a late rally allowed the Colts to win by 7 points.

The Giants continued their extraordinary season with a 24-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens at home on Sunday, two weeks after an unexpected 27-22 triumph over the Green Bay Packers in London. RB Saquon Barkley is having a season worthy of the Comeback Player of the Year award. 

Let’s dive into three players I like to find the end zone come Sunday in Week 7 Jacksonville.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New York Giants Best Player Prop Picks

Christian Kirk - Receiving Yards Over 51.5 (-115)

With wide receivers Jamal Agnew and Marvin Jones Jr. potentially out of the lineup this week, Jags QB Trevor Lawrence will likely rely even more than usual on Kirk to carry the load. So far, however, that has yet to be an issue, as Kirk is averaging 14.5 yards per catch and has four touchdowns on the season. 

Kirk also has 362 yards on the season, averaging just over 60 yards per game through their first six. While the Giants' secondary has been strong, I look for some slight regression here as they focus on stopping Trevor Etienne, giving Kirk plenty of looks.

Trevor Lawrence - Rushing Yards Over 14.5 (-115)

Averaging 13.5 yards per game on the ground this season, this number is about spot on from the looks of it, but I think we see Lawrence eclipse it. As the season has progressed, Lawrence has become more comfortable in escaping the pocket and now draws a Giants’ defense that has shown little in stopping rushing attacks.

Coming into this game, the Giants are averaging 144.8 yards on the ground per game allowed, and with Etienne's constant threat to break one, don’t be surprised to see Lawrence slip through at least once. 

Anytime Touchdown Scorer - Saquan Barkley (+100)

Barkley’s touchdown gave the Giants the lead over the Ravens, only confirming even more that he has finally recovered from the injuries that have plagued him for the previous few seasons. He will play a significant role in this contest as the Giants try to stay ahead of the NFC East-leading Philadelphia Eagles, who are still unbeaten.

Coming into this game, Barkley is averaging over 100 yards per game with four touchdowns already on the season. Look for him to get plenty of looks on the ground, as well as in the flat through the air as his revenge tour continues.
