Player Props – Week 1

The public has bet the UNDER down to 283.5 (-110) after it opened @ 298.5 (-110).
Pros
- THE BLITZ projects the Kansas City Chiefs as the most pass-centric offense among all teams this week with a 63.8% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects this game to see the 5th-highest volume of plays run among all games this week at 129.6 plays, based on the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects Patrick Mahomes to attempt 39.1 passes in this contest, on average: the 2nd-most of all quarterbacks.
- Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 34.8 pass attempts per game versus the Detroit Lions defense since the start of last season: 10th-most in the NFL.
- Patrick Mahomes has been among the top quarterbacks in the league since the start of last season, averaging a stellar 324.0 yards per game while grading out in the 100th percentile.
Cons
- The Chiefs are a 3.5-point favorite in this week’s game, which points towards a rushing game script.
- The Kansas City Chiefs have been faced with a stacked the box on a mere 9.3% of their plays since the start of last season, least in the league. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
- The Kansas City Chiefs have gone no-huddle on a lowly 1.8% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (least in the NFL). This slows the pace, resulting in less volume and stat production.
- The Kansas City Chiefs have risked going for it on 4th down a lowly 15.8% of the time since the start of last season (least in football), which generally means less offensive volume, less touchdown potential, and lower offensive statistics across the board.
