Irv Smith Receiving Yards
Player Prop Week 3

Minnesota Vikings vs Detroit Lions

 
 
 
Irv Smith Receiving Yards Prop is currently Over/Under 28.5 (-110/-110).

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:
  • The Minnesota Vikings will have a new play-caller this year in head coach Kevin O'Connell, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to skew 4.4% more towards passing than it did last year (in a neutral context).
  • THE BLITZ projects the Minnesota Vikings as the 6th-most pass-centric team in the NFL (in a neutral context) right now with a 64.8% pass rate.
  • This game will be played in a dome—meaning no wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and increased passing effectiveness.
  • THE BLITZ projects Irv Smith to total 4.5 targets in this week's game, on average, placing him in the 86th percentile among tight ends.
  • Irv Smith has garnered a whopping 15.7% of his offense's air yards this year: 90th percentile among tight ends.

  • FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:
  • The Vikings are a 6.5-point favorite in this week's game, likely leading to a rushing game script.
  • THE BLITZ projects the Minnesota Vikings to be the 9th-most sluggish paced defense in football (in a neutral context) right now, causing opposing offenses to average 27.66 seconds per snap.
  • Opposing offenses have averaged 32.8 pass attempts per game vs. the Detroit Lions defense since the start of last season: 9th-least in football.
  • The Minnesota Vikings O-line grades out as the 3rd-worst in the league since the start of last season in protecting the quarterback, which has a harmful effect on all passing offense stats across the board.
  • Irv Smith has been among the least sure-handed receivers in the NFL among tight ends, hauling in a mere 47.2% of balls thrown his way this year, ranking in the 24th percentile.
