Adam Thielen Receptions
Player Prop Week 1

Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings

Adam Thielen Receptions Prop is currently Over/Under 2.5 (-110/-120).

The money has been on the Under as it opened 3.5 @ -150 before it was bet down to 2.5 @ -120.

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:

The model projects this game to have the 3rd-highest number of plays run out of all the games this week at 131.4 plays, accounting for the approaches of each team and game dynamics.

With a fantastic 4.9 adjusted receptions per game (81st percentile) last year, Adam Thielen stands as one of the leading WRs in the league in the NFL.

Adam Thielen checks in as one of the most reliable receivers in football, hauling in an outstanding 79.9% of passes thrown his way (adjusted for context) last year, grading out in the 95th percentile among wideouts.

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:

Based on their underlying play style and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Minnesota Vikings to pass on 57.5% of their chances: the lowest rate on the slate this week.

Minnesota's passing stats last year may be artificially too high (and rushing stats decreased) due to playing the 3rd-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the league. We ought to be able to count on some correction with windier weather in this week's contest.

Opposing offenses teams have been afraid to rely on the passing game too much against the Chicago Bears, averaging the fewest attempts in football (just 30.6 per game) last year.

While Adam Thielen has accounted for 20.8% of his offense's targets in games he has played last year, the model projects him to be a much smaller part of Minnesota's offense in this week's contest at 14.8%.

The Chicago Bears pass defense has yielded the 10th-lowest Adjusted Completion% in football (64.1%) vs. WRs last year (64.1%).
