David MontgomeryRushing Yards
Player Props – Week 6
Bears vs. Commanders
Right now, David Montgomery’s rushing yards prop is set at 63.5 yards (-120/-110).
The public has bet the OVER up to 63.5 (-120) after it opened @ 63.5 (-115).
Pros
- The Chicago Bears will have a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to tilt 5.1% more towards rushing than it did last year (adjusted for context).
- THE BLITZ projects the Chicago Bears to be the most run-oriented team on the slate this week with a 54.4% run rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects David Montgomery to garner 18.2 carries in this week’s game, on average, ranking him in the 98th percentile among running backs.
- The Chicago Bears have faced a stacked the box on just 14.2% of their plays since the start of last season, 10th-least in football. Keeping an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
- The Chicago Bears have elected to go for it on 4th down 27.3% of the time since the start of last season (3rd-most in the NFL), which typically means more offensive volume, more TD potential, and higher offensive stats across the board.
Cons
- THE BLITZ projects this game to see the 4th-least plays run on the slate this week at 127.6 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- The Chicago Bears have called the least plays in the NFL this year, averaging a lowly 49.2 plays per game.
- David Montgomery has been a much smaller piece of his offense’s running game this season (43.9% Carry Share in games he has been on the field) than he was last season (74.1%).
- David Montgomery has run for many fewer yards per game (41.0) this season than he did last season (65.0).
- David Montgomery’s ground efficiency (3.52 yards per carry) has been some of the worst in the NFL this year (15th percentile among RBs).
