Why Bet The Hasty Over
✅ I know, I know, it’s not the most thrilling thing to bet a backup or change of pace running back prop, but this one is extremely attractive. Hasty has been quite involved since the Jaguars Week 11 bye week, even notching two games with double digit carries. His average of 4.7 carries in that span is quite attractive for a player that needs to notch just 11 yards rushing to hit their over. Hasty averages jsut under 15 yards rushing per game in that span, despite a zero carry game. He has also hit the double digit yardage figure in five of seven games.
✅ The Chargers Achilles heel all season has been their run defense. They are beaten handily by backs and in consistent fashion. No matter whether it is a top back or a change of pace option, any back that can be had for well under averages against them is an attractive player prop.
Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars earned this home playoff matchup with a over division rival Tennessee in the last week of the season. The Jaguars are on a five game winning streak and should certainly not be slept on in this spot. They are the hot team and it is at least partially puzzling that they are not favored at home. Their defense has truly made an ascension during this run.
Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers have also done well to close out the season, winning four of five. Of course the list of opponents in that span was certainly nothing special, and they generally beat teams that they were supposed to beat. Their defense is not in a spot that they are likely to notch easy wins, and it may even see them to a quick exit from the playoffs.
