Player Props – Week 8

Panthers vs. Texans

Right now, Bryce Young’s passing yards prop is set at 223.5 yards (-110/-110).
The public has bet the UNDER down to 223.5 (-110) after it opened @ 233.5 (-110).

Pros

  • The Carolina Panthers have a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, and the leading projections forecast their pass/run mix to lean 5.6% more towards passing than it did last year (adjusted for context).
  • The Panthers are a 3.5-point underdog in this week’s contest, likely creating a passing game script.
  • The leading projections forecast this game to have the 3rd-most plays run on the slate this week at 132.3 plays, based on the traits of each team and game dynamics.
  • The 4th-highest number of plays in football have been called by the Carolina Panthers this year (a colossal 64.0 per game on average).
  • The Texans defense has been something of pass funnel this year, leading opposing QBs to attempt the 9th-most passes in the NFL (38.5 per game) this year.
Cons

  • Accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Panthers to pass on 56.9% of their chances: the 11th-lowest clip among all teams this week.
  • When talking about protecting the passer (and the influence it has on all passing game metrics), the O-line of the Panthers ranks as the 2nd-worst in the league this year.
  • With a subpar 62.5% Adjusted Completion% (25th percentile) this year, Bryce Young ranks as one of the least on-target passers in the NFL.
  • With a feeble 5.42 adjusted yards-per-target (3rd percentile) this year, Bryce Young ranks as one of the least effective QBs in the NFL.
  • As it relates to cornerbacks in defending receivers, Houston’s collection of CBs has been exceptional this year, projecting as the 2nd-best in the league.
