Tua Tagovailoa vs. Lamar Jackson NFL player prop predictions for Week 17
Tua Tagovailoa vs. Lamar Jackson player props
Lamar Jackson Under 231.5 passing yards (-115 via BetMGM) ⭐⭐⭐
Jackson had one of his best passing days of the season last week against the San Francisco 49ers. He finished with 252 yards and two touchdowns while completing more than 65% of his passes. Yet, despite the numbers, he’s thrown for more than 230 yards just six times this season.
The Dolphins rank 10th in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game. Last week, they held Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott to 253 yards. While Jackson can explode against anyone, as he proved last week, the Dolphins’ defense is playing well right now. The secondary is healthy, and because the Ravens’ offense is a run-first unit, we don’t expect Jackson to throw for more than his season average of 223.8 yards on Sunday.
The price and total are all over the place for this prop. FanDuel has the total listed at 226.5 and is asking -114 for the Under. bet365 is offering better value with a price of -110 for under 229.5. DraftKings and Caesars are each asking -130 or greater for under 231.5. Therefore, wager at BetMGM, a sportsbook asking a fair price for a high number.

Tua Tagovailoa Over 34.5 pass attempts (+100 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐⭐
The Ravens’ defense is good enough to prevent Tagovailoa from having a huge game. However, they’re not so good that we’d blindly take his passing yards or touchdowns under in this game. Instead, the best player prop for Tagovailoa in this game is for him to attempt more than 34 passes.
Tagovailoa has attempted more than 34 passes just twice in his last seven games. For all of the NFL prop betting sites to have his total set at 34.5, it signals that oddsmakers are pretty confident in Tua playing from behind in this game.
What’s great about this prop is that Tagovailoa can hit this whether he has success against the Ravens’ defense or not. If the Ravens shut him down, he’ll still be throwing late into the fourth quarter. If the Dolphins jump out to an early lead, it will likely be because of the passing attack. Without knowing exactly what Tua will be able to accomplish against the Ravens, this is the safest bet of the game at the best sportsbooks.
Lamar Jackson Under 1.5 passing touchdowns (-146 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐
Jackson has yet to throw multiple touchdown passes in consecutive games this season. Last week, he threw for two touchdowns against the 49ers, which means this week he’s due to throw for one or fewer touchdowns.
The Ravens are tied for the second-most rushing touchdowns in the league. When they get into the red zone, they don’t mess around, as they hand the ball to Gus Edwards and let him find the end zone. While the Dolphins are allowing nearly 1.5 passing touchdowns per game this season, they’re also allowing nearly one rushing touchdown per contest. Based on how the Ravens have played this season, they’ll likely take advantage of the latter.
The price for this Under is high. FanDuel is offering the best price at -146. The rest of the NFL prop betting sites have the price set at -155 or worse, which is too expensive.
