The Jets' last Monday Night Football experience was filled with extreme highs and extreme lows. The highs include the fact that they won the opening week after a walk-off 65-yard punt return touchdown by Xavier Gipson gave the Jets a 22-16 overtime victory over the Bills. The lows were season-altering as quarterback Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles four plays into his Jets career. But the Jets (4-3) have held strong, in large part due to a dominant defensive effort, and will host the Los Angeles Chargers (3-4) to wrap up the Week 9 NFL schedule on Monday Night Football.
Jets quarterback Zach Wilson has played better of late, including throwing for 240 yards and a touchdown last week against the Giants. How should you feel about playing him in Monday Night Football NFL prop bets? New York's defense held Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen to below their season average in passing yards at MetLife Stadium this year. Does that mean you should lean under for Justin Herbert NFL player props? Before betting any NFL props for Monday Night Football in Week 9 or entering selections on sites like PrizePicks, you need to see the Chargers vs. Jets NFL prop predictions from the SportsLine 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 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 on the most recent available data and can help you spot the biggest discrepancies in the lines. So far this season, SportsLine's AI PickBot has hit a whopping 365 4.5- and 5-star prop picks. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

Top NFL player prop bets for Chargers vs. Jets
After analyzing Jets vs. Chargers and examining the dozens of NFL player props, the AI PickBot says Chargers running back Austin Ekeler goes over 4.5 receptions. After missing three games with an ankle injury, Ekeler is back as a focal point in the Chargers' offense, especially in the passing game. He had seven receptions for 94 yards on eight targets against the Bears, including showcasing his catch-and-run ability with a 39-yard touchdown scamper in the first quarter. Ekeler has been one of the best receiving running backs in the NFL throughout his seven-year career, finishing fifth in the NFL in receptions (107) last season while totaling at least five receptions in 10 of 17 contests.
New York's defense has frustrated quarterbacks all season looking to air the ball downfield, but that should play into Ekeler's benefit on Monday. The Jets have one of the best cornerback duos in the NFL in Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed, but those two won't find themselves on Ekeler out of the backfield. No team has had two wide receivers post at least 45 yards against the Jets this season, leaving quarterbacks needing to dump off to their running backs more often. The Jets have allowed the sixth-most receptions and receiving yards to opposing running backs this season, resulting in the model projecting Ekeler to record 5.9 receptions, safely placing him above the current prop total of 4.5 and making it one of the 4.5-star plays on Monday Night Football.
