Player Props – Week 16

Panthers vs. Packers

Right now, Aaron Jones’s rushing yards prop is set at 54.5 yards (-110/-110).
The public has bet the OVER up to 54.5 (-110) after it opened @ 50.5 (-110).

Pros

  • With a 3.5-point advantage, the Packers are favored in this game, implying more of a reliance on rushing than their typical approach.
  • Out of all running backs, Aaron Jones grades out in the 80th percentile for carries this year, accounting for 45.4% of the workload in his offense’s rushing attack.
  • When talking about executing run-blocking assignments (and the impact it has on all ground game statistics), the offensive line of the Green Bay Packers grades out as the 6th-best in football last year.
  • This year, the stout Panthers run defense has yielded a puny 4.74 adjusted yards-per-carry to opposing squads: the 27th-best rate in football.
  • The Panthers linebackers grade out as the 6th-worst LB corps in the NFL this year when it comes to defending the run.
Cons

  • The projections expect the Packers to run the 7th-fewest total plays among all teams this week with 63.1 plays, given their underlying traits and game dynamics.
  • The 9th-smallest volume of plays in football have been called by the Packers this year (a mere 56.1 per game on average).
  • Aaron Jones has run for significantly fewer adjusted yards per game (38.0) this year than he did last year (64.0).
  • Aaron Jones’s rushing efficiency has diminished this year, averaging a mere 3.81 adjusted yards-per-carry compared to a 5.13 rate last year.
