Ravens And Colts Player Props Light Up MNF Odds

• QB Lamar Jackson’s passing touchdown total is set at 1.5.
• QB Carson Wentz has -125 odds to rush for OVER 8.5 yards.

BALTIMORE – Week 5 of Monday Night Football will feature a matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the Indianapolis Colts +260. The Ravens are going into the game heavily favored on the moneyline with -320 odds and are the 7-point favorites.

Other than the betting lines that are available for this game,  NFL betting sites  have some great quarterback prop bets on both Lamar Jackson and Carson Wentz.

Lamar Jackson Passing Touchdown Total

Lamar Jackson is primarily known for his running abilities, however, in this one, he will be able to showcase his ability of passing the ball into the end zone. Jackson should have no problem in hitting OVER 1.5 passing touchdowns being that through four weeks, the Indianapolis Colts have let up the most passing touchdowns  (11) of any team.

Jackson has stayed UNDER the 1.5 total in every game, but has gone up against tough defenses, including the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders, who are in the Top-5 in the fewest passing touchdowns allowed.

The Colts have allowed each opposing quarterback this season to throw for 2+ touchdowns in every game. The majority of the touchdowns that were allowed have all come from shots up the middle of the field. Six of their 11 touchdowns allowed have all come from between the hashes. If Jackson were to hit the OVER, he would have to aim right up the gut towards the middle.

Carson Wentz Rushing Yard Total

Carson Wentz is not the quarterback that comes to mind for rushing the ball. He does get the job done on the ground though which makes 8.5 yards set by sportsbooks easily achievable. Wentz has hit the OVER in two of his four games this season. The two games where he hit the OVER were against the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks, playing from behind for the majority of those games.

In this matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, he should be able to hit the OVER once more with the odds set by online sports betting platforms. The main factor for this is that the Colts offensive line is missing key players in Quenton Nelson and their right tackle, Braden Smith who is listed as questionable. That should allow for pass rushers to get through the front five with no problem forcing Wentz out of the pocket for positive yardage gains.

Monday Night Football begins at 8:15 p.m. EST on ESPN.
