Player Props – Week 14
Steelers vs. Ravens

The public has bet the UNDER down to 187.5 (-110) after it opened @ 196.5 (-115).
Pros
- The Baltimore Ravens will be forced to utilize backup QB Tyler Huntley in this week’s contest, which typically means fewer pass attempts and more rushes.
- The Baltimore Ravens O-line ranks as the 5th-best in the league this year in protecting the QB, which has a strong effect on all passing game statistics across the board.
- Tyler Huntley has been among the best precision passers in the NFL since the start of last season with a terrific 70.9% Completion%, checking in at the 94th percentile.
- Opposing quarterbacks have thrown for the 6th-most yards in the league (264.0 per game) versus the Pittsburgh Steelers defense this year.
- The Pittsburgh Steelers have stacked the box against opponents on 21.0% of their plays since the start of last season, 6th-most in the NFL. Keeping an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
Cons
- THE BLITZ projects the Baltimore Ravens to be the 7th-least pass-centric team on the slate this week with a 52.9% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects the Ravens to call the least offensive plays on the slate this week with 61.5 plays, based on their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects Tyler Huntley to attempt 29.7 passes in this week’s game, on average: the least of all QBs.
- Opposing teams have completed passes at the 2nd-lowest clip in football vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers defense this year (65.6%).
- The Pittsburgh Steelers safeties project as the 5th-best unit in football this year in pass coverage.
