Player Prop Week 1

New York Jets vs Pittsburgh Steelers

Allen Lazard Receptions Prop is currently Over/Under 1.5 (+141/-181).

The money has been on the Over as it opened 1.5 @ +156 before it was bet up to 1.5 @ +141.

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:

This game's line implies a passing game script for the Jets, who are -3-point underdogs.

In regards to pass-blocking (and the positive impact it has on all passing attack stats), the offensive line of the Jets profiles as the 8th-best in football last year.

When it comes to cornerbacks in defending pass-catchers, Pittsburgh's CB corps has been awful last year, ranking as the 2nd-worst in football.

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:

The Jets feature a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, and the leading projections forecast their pass/run mix to skew 6.7% more towards rushing than it did last year (adjusted for context).

Based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Jets to pass on 56.1% of their plays: the 9th-lowest clip among all teams this week.

The predictive model expects the Jets to run the 8th-fewest plays on offense among all teams this week with 62.9 plays, based on their underlying propensities and game dynamics.

The 5th-lowest number of plays in the league have been run by the Jets last year (a mere 55.7 per game on average).

While Allen Lazard has received 14.8% of his team's targets in games he has played last year, the projections expect him to be a less important option in New York's offense in this week's game at 9.5%.
