Gus Edwards Carries Prop is currently Over/Under 7.5 (-122/-108).
Key Factors
Favors Over
THE BLITZ projects the Baltimore Ravens as the 7th-most run-heavy team among all teams this week with a 47.1% run rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
The Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackles grade out as the worst DT corps in the NFL this year with their run defense.
Favors Under
The Baltimore Ravens will be forced to use backup QB Tyler Huntley in this contest, which generally means fewer pass attempts and more rushes.
THE BLITZ projects the Ravens to call the least offensive plays among all teams this week with 61.5 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
THE BLITZ projects Gus Edwards to be a much smaller piece of his offense's run game this week (25.9% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (40.2% in games he has played).
The Pittsburgh Steelers have stacked the box versus opponents on 21.0% of their plays since the start of last season, 6th-most in the NFL. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
