Player Props – Week 8

Bills vs. Buccaneers

Right now, Stefon Diggs’s receiving yards prop is set at 86.5 yards (-131/-104).
The public has bet the OVER up to 86.5 (-131) after it opened @ 85.5 (-117).

Pros

  • At the moment, the 3rd-most pass-oriented offense in football (67.7% context-neutralized) according to the predictive model is the Bills.
  • Opposing offenses have averaged 38.5 pass attempts per game versus the Buccaneers defense this year: 9th-most in the league.
  • This week, Stefon Diggs is anticipated by the projections to secure a spot in the 97th percentile when it comes to wide receivers with 10.5 targets.
  • Stefon Diggs’s 33.2% Target Rate this season marks a noteable improvement in his pass game workload over last season’s 28.0% mark.
  • After accruing 104.0 air yards per game last season, Stefon Diggs has been rising this season, now averaging 135.0 per game.
Cons

  • An extreme running game script is implied by the Bills being a giant 9.5-point favorite this week.
  • Accounting for the game dynamics and the underlying tendencies of each team, this contest is predicted by the predictive model to see just 125.9 offensive plays called: the 5th-lowest number out of all the games this week.
  • Stefon Diggs’s 2.91 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) this year reflects a meaningful decline in his efficiency in the open field over last year’s 4.1% rate.
