Alexander Mattison Rushing Yards Player Prop - Week 16

Minnesota Vikings vs Los Angeles Rams
 
 
 
Alexander Mattison Rushing Yards Prop is currently Over/Under 67.5 (-105/-125) with an implied projection of 67.1 yards.

The money has been on the Under as it opened 69.5 @ -115 before it was bet down to 67.5 @ -125.
PROS:
  • Perhaps as a result of a change in role, personnel injury, or matchup, Mattison is projected for 48% more of his team's carry share this week than he has gotten overall this year, which ranks as the biggest increase among running backs this week.
  • Mattison has averaged 4.3 yards per rush attempt this season, putting him in the 76th percentile among running backs.
  • Minnesota has played in 9 low-wind games (2 mph or less) this year (2nd-most in football). Teams tend to pass the ball more in low-wind conditions, artificially deflating how often they run, which should balance back out under normal conditions.
  • Stacking the box with extra defenders is a common strategy defenses uses to stop the run, but the Los Angeles Rams have stacked the box with 8 or more defenders just 4.9% of the time this season, lowest in the NFL.
  • The Vikings project to run 66.1 total plays in this contest, the #2-most of the week.

  • CONS:
  • The Los Angeles Rams have ranked 6th-best against the run this year, holding opponents to 99 yards per game on the ground.
  • Rams defensive tackles have ranked #1 in the NFL in run stopping effectiveness this season.
  • The Minnesota Vikings offensive line has ranked as the 3rd-worst in the NFL when it comes to run blocking this season.
  • Teams tend to pass the ball more when their starting running back is out, as is the case for Minnesota this week.
  • Minnesota is a 3.0 point underdog, indicating a passing game script.

  • NEUTRAL:
  • Mattison has been the #46-leading rusher this season, tallying 33 yards per game on the ground.
  • He has been on the field for 25.4% of his team's snaps this season, which ranks in the #41 percentile among running backs.
  • He has received 33.2% of Minnesota's carries this year -- #46 percentile when it comes to running backs.
  • This offense runs the ball 40.2% of the time in a neutral context (#14 in the NFL), and they project to run 40.2% of the time in this contest.

  • PROJECTION:
    THE BLITZ sees him putting up 72.6 Rushing Yards for this matchup on average, while projecting him to exceed his player prop total 53.6% of the time.

    THE BLITZ believes the OVER offers better odds, but both sides have negative expected value. The expected value on the OVER is -$2.04 and with a negative ROI of -2%.
