Player Props – Week 8
Lions vs. Dolphins
Right now, Tua Tagovailoa’s passing yards prop is set at 279.5 yards (-110/-110).
The public has bet the OVER up to 279.5 (-110) after it opened @ 264.5 (-115).
Pros
- THE BLITZ projects the Miami Dolphins as the 9th-most pass-oriented team in the league (in a neutral context) at the present time with a 64.1% pass rate.
- This game will be played in a dome—meaning zero wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and increased passing effectiveness.
- THE BLITZ projects Tua Tagovailoa to attempt 37.9 passes in this contest, on average: the 8th-most of all quarterbacks.
- Tua Tagovailoa has thrown for significantly more yards per game (247.0) this year than he did last year (204.0).
- Opposing teams have completed passes at the 4th-highest level in football vs. the Detroit Lions defense this year (74.4%).
Cons
- The Dolphins are a 4-point favorite in this week’s contest, indicating a rushing game script.
- The Miami Dolphins offensive line ranks as the 5th-worst in football this year in protecting the quarterback, which has a harmful impact on all passing offense statistics across the board.
- The Miami Dolphins offensive line has afforded their QB a measly 2.49 seconds before the pass (4th-worst in football since the start of last season), which has a harmful impact on all passing game stats across the board.
- The Miami Dolphins have gone up against a stacked the box on a mere 12.1% of their plays since the start of last season, 5th-least in the league. Positioning an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
