Player Props – Week 17
Seahawks vs. Jets
Right now, Mike White’s passing yards prop is set at 253.5 yards (-110/-110).
The public has bet the OVER up to 253.5 (-110) after it opened @ 250.5 (-115).
Pros
- THE BLITZ projects the New York Jets to be the 9th-most pass-centric offense in football (adjusted for context) at the present time with a 63.9% pass rate.
- THE BLITZ projects this game to have the most plays run on the slate this week at 135.3 plays, based on the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- The weather forecast calls for 1-mph wind in this game. Low wind usually means increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and increased passing efficiency.
- THE BLITZ projects Mike White to attempt 38.4 passes in this game, on average: the 8th-most of all QBs.
- The Seattle Seahawks pass defense has exhibited bad efficiency this year, surrendering 8.21 yards-per-target: the 7th-most in football.
Cons
- Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 32.5 pass attempts per game vs. the Seattle Seahawks defense this year: 5th-least in the NFL.
- The New York Jets offensive line ranks as the 6th-worst in football this year in protecting the passer, which has a harmful effect on all passing attack stats across the board.
- The New York Jets have faced a stacked the box on a measly 13.6% of their plays since the start of last season, 9th-least in the league. Bringing an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
- The New York Jets have utilized play action on a measly 23.1% of their passing plays since the start of last season (8th-least in the league), making the offense more predictable and lowering passing effectiveness.
