Pros
- With a 3-point advantage, the Steelers are favored in this week’s game, suggesting more of a reliance on rushing than their typical game plan.
- Our trusted projections expect the Steelers to run the 5th-most total plays on the slate this week with 65.9 plays, based on their underlying propensities and game dynamics.
- In this contest, Najee Harris is predicted by our trusted projection set to land in the 77th percentile among running backs with 14.1 rush attempts.
- Out of all running backs, Najee Harris ranks in the 90th percentile for rush attempts this year, making up 57.5% of the workload in his offense’s ground game.
- The opposing side have rushed for the 7th-most adjusted yards in the NFL (128 per game) versus the Green Bay Packers defense this year.
Cons
- The 6th-lowest number of plays in the NFL have been run by the Steelers this year (a measly 54.5 per game on average).
- The forecast calls for 3-mph wind in this game. Low wind usually means increased pass volume, and reduced ground volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing efficiency.
- Najee Harris’s 45.0 adjusted rushing yards per game this year shows a material diminishment in his rushing skills over last year’s 59.0 rate.
- Najee Harris’s rushing efficiency (3.60 adjusted yards per carry) has been some of the worst in football this year (24th percentile when it comes to RBs).
