Player Props – Week 9

Raiders vs. Giants

Right now, Aidan O’Connell’s passing yards prop is set at 209.5 yards (-110/-110).

Pros

  • The air attacks of both teams (in terms of both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the calm “weather” conditions (read: zero wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may slide.
  • When talking about protecting the passer (and the positive effect it has on all passing offense metrics), the O-line of the Raiders profiles as the best in the league this year.
  • The New York Giants defense has struggled when opposing pass-catchers have gotten into space, allowing an average of 6.16 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) this year: the most in the league.
  • As it relates to cornerbacks in pass coverage, New York’s unit has been terrible this year, profiling as the 2nd-worst in football.
Cons

  • The predictive model expects the Las Vegas Raiders to be the 6th-least pass-oriented team in the NFL (adjusted for context) at the present time with a 58.2% pass rate.
  • Based on their underlying propensities and game dynamics, the Las Vegas Raiders are forecasted by the predictive model to run only 60.4 offensive plays in this contest: the fewest on the slate this week.
  • The smallest volume of plays in football have been run by the Raiders this year (a lowly 52.9 per game on average).
  • Opposing QBs teams have been afraid to pass too much against the Giants, averaging the 6th-fewest attempts in the league (a mere 33.2 per game) this year.
  • This year, the fierce New York Giants defense has yielded a feeble 67.0% Adjusted Completion Rate to opposing quarterbacks: the 8th-lowest rate in the NFL.
