Pros
- THE BLITZ projects the Arizona Cardinals as the least pass-centric team among all teams this week with a 62.4% pass rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects the Arizona Cardinals offense as the 4th-quickest paced team in football (adjusted for context) at the present time, averaging 25.47 seconds per snap.
- This game will be played in a dome—which means zero wind, increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and increased passing efficiency.
- THE BLITZ projects Marquise Brown to notch 8.7 targets in this week’s contest, on average, placing him in the 92nd percentile among wideouts.
Cons
- Opposing offenses have averaged 32.4 pass attempts per game against the Las Vegas Raiders defense since the start of last season: 8th-least in the NFL.
- Marquise Brown has been among the least effective pass-catchers in the NFL, averaging a lowly 7.30 yards-per-target since the start of last season while checking in at the 18th percentile among wideouts
- The Las Vegas Raiders defense has yielded the 3rd-least receiving yards per game in the NFL (just 123.0) to wideouts since the start of last season.
- The Las Vegas Raiders pass defense has exhibited strong efficiency against wideouts since the start of last season, surrendering 7.39 yards-per-target to the position: the 5th-least in the NFL.
- The Arizona Cardinals O-line has given their quarterback a mere 2.34 seconds before getting pressured (2nd-worst in football since the start of last season), which has a harmful effect on all passing offense metrics across the board.
