Browns vs. Jets props, odds, SGP best bets, TNF picks, AI predictions: Joe Flacco over 1.5 touchdowns

The Cleveland Browns and New York Jets both have defenses that rank inside the top three in yards allowed this season and they'll go head-to-head on Thursday Night Football to kick off Week 17. How should two elite defenses impact the way you approach playing NFL player props for this primetime showdown and which markets will attract the most attention? Amari Cooper set a new Browns franchise record with 265 receiving yards last week and he's had at least 77 receiving yards in the last three contests while forming a clear connection with new Cleveland starter Joe Flacco. However, the latest Jets vs. Browns prop odds list his over/under for receiving yards at only 56.5 with the Jets ranking second in the NFL in pass defense. Before betting any NFL props for Thursday Night Football in Week 17 or entering selections on sites like PrizePicks, you need to see the Browns vs. Jets NFL prop predictions powered by SportsLine's AI PickBot.

Built using cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques by SportsLine's Data Science team, AI Predictions and AI Ratings are generated for each player prop. The AI predictions are determined by statistically learning from each player's historical data and then quantitatively evaluating the strength of the opponents' defense by assigning a numeric value out of 100 called a matchup score. 

Once a prediction is formulated, the AI rating is generated using the prediction, the matchup score, and the odds of the market. For example, you could see a 5-star rating on an over bet if a player is facing a poor defense, their prediction differs from the line and there are favorable odds.

In addition, SportsLine AI is the first fully automated predictive model at SportsLine. It continuously refreshes with the most recent available data and can help you spot the biggest discrepancies in the lines. So far this season, the AI PickBot has hit a whopping 672 4.5- and 5-star prop picks.

Top NFL player prop bets for Browns vs. Jets

After analyzing Jets vs. Browns and examining the dozens of NFL player prop markets, the AI PickBot says Cleveland quarterback Joe Flacco goes over 1.5 passing touchdowns. Flacco has been far from perfect in his month as the starter in Cleveland, throwing seven interceptions and fumbling twice during that span.

However, he's also thrown for 1,307 yards and 10 touchdowns in four starts and has led the Browns to a 3-1 record, putting them in a comfortable position to make the NFL playoffs. Flacco has thrown for multiple touchdown passes in all four of his starts this season and with the Cleveland running game struggling of late, he's throwing a high volume of passes.

Flacco has attempted 175 passes and he's had 19 red-zone pass attempts in the last four weeks. Even against a very good Jets secondary, expect heavy volume for Flacco and he should have a little extra motivation after spending three years in New York. The AI PickBot predicts that Flacco easily goes over 1.5 passing touchdowns, ranking it as a five-star play and projecting 2.5 touchdowns on average. .
