Right now, Rachaad White’s rushing yards prop is set at 31.5 yards (-110/-110).
Pros
- THE BLITZ projects the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense as the quickest paced team in the league (in a neutral context) at the present time, averaging 25.22 seconds per play.
- THE BLITZ projects Rachaad White to be much more involved in his team’s rushing attack this week (45.8% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (32.2% in games he has played).
- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have gone no-huddle on 12.7% of their plays outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (8th-most in the league). This speeds up the pace, resulting in more volume and stat production.
- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have utilized motion in their offense on 45.6% of their plays since the start of last season (10th-most in the NFL), which usually keeps the defense guessing and improves offensive efficiency.
Cons
- The Buccaneers are a 3.5-point underdog in this week’s game, likely leading to a passing game script.
- THE BLITZ projects the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to be the 2nd-least run-centric offense on the slate this week with a 32.3% run rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive line profiles as the 8th-worst in the league this year at run-game blocking.
- Opposing offenses have rushed for the least yards in the NFL (just 76 per game) versus the San Francisco 49ers defense this year.
- The San Francisco 49ers linebackers rank as the best collection of LBs in the league this year in regard to defending the run.
