Cam Akers Rushing Yards Prop is currently Over/Under 74.5 (-110/-110).
Key Factors
Favors Over
THE BLITZ projects Cam Akers to notch 19.2 rush attempts this week, on average, ranking him in the 98th percentile among RBs.
THE BLITZ projects Cam Akers to be a more important option in his offense's running game this week (71.0% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (55.8% in games he has played).
Opposing offenses have rushed for the 3rd-most yards in football (153 per game) versus the Seattle Seahawks defense this year.
The Seattle Seahawks defensive ends project as the 4th-worst group of DEs in the NFL this year when it comes to run defense.
The Los Angeles Rams have gone no-huddle on 15.8% of their plays outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (3rd-most in the league). This speeds up the pace, leading to more volume and stat production.
Favors Under
The Los Angeles Rams will be starting backup quarterback Baker Mayfield in this contest, which typically means fewer pass attempts and more rush attempts.
The Rams are a 5.5-point underdog this week, likely creating a passing game script.
THE BLITZ projects the Rams to run the 4th-least total plays among all teams this week with 62.6 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
The Los Angeles Rams have run the 6th-least plays in the league this year, totaling just 54.3 plays per game.
The Seattle Seahawks have stacked the box against opponents on 19.9% of their plays since the start of last season, 7th-most in the league. Positioning an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
