Player Props – Week 3
49ers vs. Giants
Right now, Brock Purdy’s passing yards prop is set at 229.5 yards (-115/-115).
The public has bet the OVER up to 229.5 (-115) after it opened @ 226.5 (-115).
Pros
- The San Francisco 49ers have played in the most “bad weather” (rain, snow, or 15+ mph wind) games in the NFL since the start of last season, which should result in higher pass volume, reduced running volume, and improved passing offense results when facing better conditions this week.
- Brock Purdy has been among the best per-play QBs in football this year, averaging a stellar 8.09 yards-per-target while ranking in the 91st percentile.
- The New York Giants cornerbacks rank as the 3rd-worst collection of CBs in the NFL since the start of last season in covering pass-catchers.
Cons
- The 49ers are a massive 10.5-point favorite in this week’s game, likely leading to an extreme rushing game script.
- THE BLITZ projects the San Francisco 49ers to be the 2nd-least pass-heavy team on the slate this week with a 51.5% pass rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects this game to have the smallest volume of plays run out of all the games this week at 121.0 plays, based on the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- The San Francisco 49ers have run the 8th-least plays in football since the start of last season, totaling a measly 55.7 plays per game.
- Opposing offenses have averaged 31.7 pass attempts per game against the New York Giants defense since the start of last season: 10th-least in football.
