Player Props – Week 7
49ers vs. Chiefs
Right now, Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s rushing yards prop is set at 24.5 yards (-103/-133).
The public has bet the UNDER down to 24.5 (-133) after it opened @ 34.5 (-115).
Pros
- THE BLITZ projects this game to have the least plays run on the slate this week at 129.9 plays, based on the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- The forecast calls for 15-mph wind in this game. High wind usually means lower pass volume (and increased run volume) and lessened passing efficiency.
- The Kansas City Chiefs have gone up against a stacked the box on just 9.3% of their plays since the start of last season, least in the NFL. Bringing an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
- The Kansas City Chiefs have used some form of misdirection on 67.9% of their plays since the start of last season (2nd-most in football), which usually makes an offense more unpredictable and more effective.
Cons
- THE BLITZ projects the Kansas City Chiefs as the least run-centric team on the slate this week with a 35.3% run rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects Clyde Edwards-Helaire to be a less important option in his team’s running game this week (20.9% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (49.5% in games he has played).
- The San Francisco 49ers defense boasts the best efficiency against opposing running games this year, giving up just 3.37 yards-per-carry.
- The San Francisco 49ers safeties grade out as the best unit in the league this year in regard to stopping the run.
- The Kansas City Chiefs have gone no-huddle on just 1.8% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (least in the NFL). This deadens the pace, resulting in less volume and stat production.
