Right now, Kenny Pickett’s passing yards prop is set at 203.5 yards (-110/-110).
The public has bet the OVER up to 203.5 (-110) after it opened @ 201.5 (-110).
Pros
- The Steelers have been the most pass-heavy offense in the league (in a neutral context) since the start of last season with a 75.4% pass rate.
- The Pittsburgh Steelers have called the 5th-most plays in football since the start of last season, averaging a monstrous 61.3 plays per game.
- The weather report calls for 4-mph wind in this game. Low wind typically means higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and better passing efficiency.
