Player Props – Week 19
Bills vs. Steelers
Right now, George Pickens’s receiving yards prop is set at 42.5 yards (-140/+110).
The public has bet the OVER up to 42.5 (-140) after it opened @ 34.5 (-115).
Pros
- The Pittsburgh Steelers may throw the ball less in this game (and hand the ball off more) given that they be forced to start backup QB Mason Rudolph.
- The Steelers are a giant 10-point underdog this week, likely creating an extreme passing game script.
Cons
- The predictive model expects the Pittsburgh Steelers to be the 3rd-least pass-oriented offense among all teams this week with a 54.3% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- Accounting for their underlying strategic approach and game dynamics, the Steelers are anticipated by our trusted projection set to call just 63.0 offensive plays in this contest: the 3rd-fewest among all teams this week.
- The lowest number of plays in the league have been run by the Pittsburgh Steelers this year (just 55.8 per game on average).
