Analysis

George Pickens Receptions Prop is currently Over/Under 4.5 (+140/-180).

Key Factors

Favors Over

The Steelers have been the 10th-most pass-centric team in the NFL (in a neutral context) this year with a 63.4% pass rate.
The Pittsburgh Steelers offense has played at the 5th-quickest pace in the league (in a neutral context) this year, averaging 26.88 seconds per snap.
THE BLITZ projects George Pickens to accumulate 7.0 targets this week, on average, ranking him in the 78th percentile among wideouts.
THE BLITZ projects George Pickens to be much more involved in his offense's passing offense this week (22.0% projected Target Share) than he has been this year (16.9% in games he has played).
The New Orleans Saints cornerbacks profile as the 2nd-worst group of CBs in the league this year in covering pass-catchers.

Favors Under

The weather report calls for 13-mph wind in this game. High wind usually means lower pass volume (and increased run volume) and worse passing effectiveness.
Opposing QBs have averaged 33.3 pass attempts per game vs. the New Orleans Saints defense this year: 6th-least in football.
George Pickens has been among the most unreliable receivers in the NFL, hauling in a measly 61.2% of passes thrown his way this year, grading out in the 23rd percentile among wide receivers
The Pittsburgh Steelers O-line has allowed their quarterback just 2.19 seconds before the pass (worst in football since the start of last season), which has a negative effect on all passing attack stats across the board.
The New Orleans Saints have stacked the box vs. opponents on just 13.5% of their plays since the start of last season, 9th-least in the league. Choosing not to position an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.
