Analysis

George Pickens Receiving Yards Prop is currently Over/Under 53.5 (-115/-115).

Key Factors

Favors Over

Given the game dynamics and the underlying play styles of each team, this game is anticipated by the projection model to have 133.3 plays on offense run: the 2nd-most out of all the games this week.
The weather forecast calls for 3-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means higher pass volume, and reduced ground volume, higher touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.
The Jacksonville Jaguars defense has been a notorious pass funnel this year, leading opposing teams to attempt the most passes in the league (43.7 per game) this year.
In this contest, George Pickens is expected by the projection model to find himself in the 85th percentile when it comes to wide receivers with 8.0 targets.
George Pickens has compiled far more air yards this season (108.0 per game) than he did last season (78.0 per game).

Favors Under

The Steelers have run the 6th-fewest plays in the league this year, averaging a mere 53.5 plays per game.
The Pittsburgh offensive line grades out as the 3rd-worst in football this year in protecting the QB, which has a harmful influence on all pass attack statistics across the board.
George Pickens's 56.5% Adjusted Completion Rate this season illustrates an impressive decrease in his pass-catching ability over last season's 62.5% rate.
George Pickens has been one of the bottom wideouts in the league at grinding out extra yardage, averaging just 0.00 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) this year while grading out in the 1st percentile.
As it relates to cornerbacks in covering pass-catchers, Jacksonville's group of CBs has been very good this year, ranking as the best in football.
