Geno Smith Interceptions Prop is currently Over/Under 0.5 (-145/-101).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The Jets are a big 7-point underdog in this week's game, which points towards an extreme passing game script.
Given their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the New York Jets to pass on 60.1% of their downs: the 5th-greatest rate on the slate this week.
Calm weather conditions (like the 3-mph wind being projected in this game) generally correlate with increased passing efficiency, higher TD potential, higher air attack volume, and lower ground volume.
When it comes to pocket protection (and the positive impact it has on all passing offense stats), the O-line of the Jets grades out as the 6th-best in the league this year.
Favors Under
Given the game dynamics and the underlying traits of each team, this game is forecasted by the projections to have just 124.5 plays on offense called: the lowest number among all games this week.
In tallying only 0.03 interceptions per game this year, Geno Smith slots in among the leading quarterbacks in the league (94th percentile).
The New England Patriots linebackers profile as the 4th-best group of LBs in the league this year in defending receivers.
