Jaguars vs. Bengals: Top Anytime Touchdown Bets for Week 2

CINCINNATI, OH – The Jacksonville Jaguars (1-0) are set to face the Cincinnati Bengals (1-0) in Week 2 of the NFL season this Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 PM EDT at Paycor Stadium. This matchup features two teams looking to build on their Week 1 victories.

The Jaguars opened their season with a win over the Carolina Panthers, led by head coach Liam Coen. Meanwhile, the Bengals narrowly defeated the Cleveland Browns, showcasing some offensive struggles but managing a 17-16 win.

As the teams prepare to collide, betting enthusiasts are looking at prop bets, particularly for anytime touchdown scorers. Ja'Marr Chase of the Bengals stands out, having averaged a touchdown per game last season. Despite being targeted just five times in the previous game, his performance against a weak Jaguars secondary that allowed the most passing yards last year could see him return to form. Experts predict he will likely find the end zone this week.

On the Jaguars’ side, Travis Etienne is expected to take the lead in the backfield past a Bengals defense that gave up nearly 125 rushing yards per game last season. Etienne’s increased role in both rushing and receiving could put him in a good position to score, especially after his solid performance against the Panthers.

Additionally, Brian Thomas Jr. and Dyami Brown are names to watch. Brown’s deep-threat capability, combined with his snap share, makes him a potential value bet for a touchdown. Even with Joe Burrow‘s lackluster start, his history of bounce-back performances leads analysts to believe he’ll deliver against Jacksonville.

As the teams prepare for the game, the Bengals are favored by 3.5 points. According to betting insights, the Bengals are projected to win with a 64.2% confidence rate, but the Jaguars are predicted to cover the spread at 69.9% confidence.

This matchup presents an exciting opportunity for both teams and fans, particularly for those interested in betting on standout performances.
