Player Props – Week 1

Colts vs. Jaguars

Right now, Kylen Granson’s receiving yards prop is set at 17.5 yards (-110/-110).
The public has bet the UNDER down to 17.5 (-110) after it opened @ 18.5 (-110).

Pros

  • The Colts are a 3.5-point underdog in this week’s game, which points towards a passing game script.
  • This game will be played in a dome—which means zero wind, higher pass volume, higher touchdown potential, and increased passing effectiveness.
  • Opposing teams have averaged 35.1 pass attempts per game vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars defense since the start of last season: 7th-most in the NFL.
  • Kylen Granson has earned a colossal 8.4% of his offense’s air yards since the start of last season: 75th percentile among tight ends.
  • Kylen Granson has been among the best possession receivers in the NFL among TEs, catching a terrific 77.6% of passes thrown his way since the start of last season, checking in at the 81st percentile.
Cons

  • The Indianapolis Colts boast a new play-caller this year in head coach Shane Steichen, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to tilt 2.9% more towards rushing than it did last year (context-neutralized).
  • THE BLITZ projects the Indianapolis Colts as the 6th-least pass-heavy offense on the slate this week with a 54.4% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
  • THE BLITZ projects the Indianapolis Colts to be the 6th-worst paced defense in football (adjusted for context) right now, causing opposing offenses to average 28.48 seconds per play.
  • The Indianapolis Colts O-line grades out as the 8th-worst in football since the start of last season in protecting the quarterback, which has a harmful effect on all passing attack stats across the board.
