Sunday\u2019s NFL<\/a> Wild Card action will kick off with the Bills heading to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite having Josh Allen and playoff experience on their side, the Bills find themselves as slight 1.5-point underdogs as they travel south.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Jags come into this one on an eight-game winning streak thanks to a solid defense and powerhouse offense, which has gotten a major boost from an unlikely place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite the presence of Brian Thomas Jr. and mid-season trade for Jakobi Meyers, third-year wide receiver Parker Washington has arguably become the top target for quarterback Trevor Lawrence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Washington has been a beast in recent weeks, and it appears oddsmakers haven\u2019t quite caught on with his breakout.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Penn State product has caught at least five passes and is averaging nearly 116 receiving yards per game over his last three contests.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over the last three weeks of the season, Washington\u2019s 29 total targets were tied for the fifth-most in football, behind only Amon-Ra St. Brown, Puka Nacua, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Ja\u2019Marr Chase.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s quite the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even with those types of performances, Vegas is pricing Washington more like the pass catcher he was early on this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Washington\u2019s over\/under for catches and receiving yards are sitting at just 4.5 and 51.5, respectively, which are numbers he\u2019s had no problem passing lately.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Betting on the NFL? <\/p>\n

I expect Lawrence to continue peppering Washington, but his big play ability should help him hit the over on his yards through the air as well.<\/p>\n

In what could be a shootout, let\u2019s bet on Washington\u2019s late season burst to be for real.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The play: Parker Washington to have five or more catches (+120, bet365 Sportsbook<\/a>) | More than 51.5 receiving yards (-110, FanDuel Sportsbook<\/a>)<\/p>\n
