Derek Carr TD Passes
Player Prop Week 16

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Las Vegas Raiders

 
 
 
Derek Carr TD Passes Prop is currently Over/Under 1.5 (+152/-213).

The money has been on the Under as it opened 1.5 @ -192 before it was bet down to 1.5 @ -213.
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:
  • The Raiders have been the 8th-most pass-centric offense in the league near the end zone (adjusted for context) this year with a 62.1% red zone pass rate.
  • 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.
  • Derek Carr has been among the top touchdown passers in football this year, averaging a stellar 1.64 per game while checking in at the 77th percentile.
  • The Pittsburgh Steelers defense has yielded the 4th-most passing touchdowns in football: 1.71 per game this year.
  • The Pittsburgh Steelers cornerbacks project as the 4th-worst collection of CBs in the league this year in covering receivers.

  • 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%).
