Player Props – Week 16
Chiefs vs. Raiders
Right now, Josh Jacobs’s rushing yards prop is set at 52.5 yards (-111/-123).
The public has bet the UNDER down to 52.5 (-123) after it opened @ 53.5 (-115).
Pros
- The model projects the Raiders to be the 5th-most run-heavy team in the NFL (adjusted for context) at the present time with a 42.8% run rate.
- The leading projections forecast Josh Jacobs to accrue 19.6 rush attempts this week, on balance, placing him in the 99th percentile among RBs.
- When it comes to blocking for ball-carriers (and the impact it has on all run game metrics), the offensive line of the Las Vegas Raiders ranks as the 3rd-best in the league last year.
- This year, the daunting Kansas City Chiefs run defense has given up a paltry 4.55 adjusted yards-per-carry to the opposition’s rushing attack: the 23rd-best rate in football.
- The Kansas City Chiefs safeties grade out as the 27th-worst collection of safeties in the league this year when it comes to stopping the run.
Cons
- This game’s spread indicates an extreme passing game script for the Raiders, who are big -10.5-point underdogs.
- As far as a defense’s influence on pace, at 28.57 seconds per play, the model projects the Raiders as the most sluggish in the league (adjusted for context) at the moment.
