Chris Olave Touchdowns Prop is currently Over/Under 0.5 (+215/-235).
Key Factors
Favors Over
This week's line implies a passing game script for the Saints, who are -3-point underdogs.
Given their underlying propensities and game dynamics, the Saints are expected by the projection model to call 67.3 plays on offense in this contest: the 4th-most among all teams this week.
The 7th-largest volume of plays in football have been run by the Saints this year (a staggering 61.7 per game on average).
The air attacks of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) figure to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (as in no wind) inside this dome, while ground volume may fall-off.
While Chris Olave has been responsible for 20.7% of his team's red zone targets in games he has played this year, our trusted projections expect him to be a more important option in New Orleans's pass game near the end zone in this week's contest at 28.4%.
Favors Under
The projections expect the New Orleans Saints to be the 9th-least pass-heavy offense in the league (context-neutralized) right now with a 59.9% pass rate.
This year, the fierce Steelers defense has surrendered a paltry 59.3% Adjusted Completion Rate vs. opposing wide receivers: the 4th-lowest rate in the league.
The Pittsburgh Steelers defense has allowed the 5th-fewest TDs through the air in football to wideouts: 0.50 per game this year.
