Bryce YoungPassing Yards

Right now, Bryce Young’s passing yards prop is set at 221.5 yards (-110/-110).

Pros

The Carolina Panthers feature a new play-caller this season in offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, and our trusted projections expect their pass/run mix to tilt 6.2% more towards passing than it did last season (context-neutralized).
Accounting for the game dynamics and the underlying tendencies of each team, this contest is projected by the predictive model to see 133.0 total plays called: the most out of all the games this week.
The Panthers have called the 4th-most plays in football this year, totaling a colossal 63.4 plays per game.
Still weather conditions (like the 3-mph wind being called for in this game) generally correlate with better passing efficiency, increased TD potential, increased pass volume, and reduced rush volume.
Opposing QBs have passed for the 8th-most adjusted yards in football (260.0 per game) versus the Indianapolis Colts defense this year.

Cons

The Carolina O-line ranks as the 2nd-worst in football this year in protecting the quarterback, which has a negative effect on all passing game stats across the board.
Bryce Young rates as one of the worst per-play quarterbacks in football this year, averaging just 5.76 adjusted yards-per-target while checking in at the lowly 3rd percentile.
