Derek Carr Completions
Player Prop Week 16

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Las Vegas Raiders

 
 
 
Derek Carr Completions Prop is currently Over/Under 17.5 (+100/-130).

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:
  • The Las Vegas Raiders O-line ranks as the 6th-best in the league this year in pass protection, which has a strong impact on all pass game metrics across the board.
  • The Pittsburgh Steelers cornerbacks project as the 4th-worst collection of CBs in the league this year in covering receivers.
  • The Las Vegas Raiders offensive line has given their QB 2.64 seconds before the pass (8th-best in the NFL since the start of last season), which has a strong impact on all pass attack stats across the board.
  • The Pittsburgh Steelers have stacked the box against opponents on 21.0% of their plays since the start of last season, 6th-most in the NFL. Positioning an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.

  • FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:
  • The Las Vegas Raiders will have a new play-caller this season in head coach Josh McDaniels, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to lean 2.9% more towards rushing than it did last season (context-neutralized).
  • THE BLITZ projects the Raiders to call the 7th-least plays on offense on the slate this week with 62.5 plays, based on their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
  • The weather forecast calls for 13-mph wind in this game. High wind usually means lower pass volume (and increased run volume) and worse passing effectiveness.
  • Derek Carr's passing accuracy has declined this year, with his Completion% shrinking from 65.9% to 61.3%.
  • Opposing teams have completed passes at the 4th-lowest clip in football against the Pittsburgh Steelers defense this year (66.6%).
