James Conner Carries Prop is currently Over/Under 16.5 (-120/-110).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The predictive model expects the Cardinals offensive strategy to skew 2.4% more towards the run game than it did last season (context-neutralized) with head coach Jonathan Gannon now calling the plays.
Right now, the 8th-most run-centric offense in the NFL (41.1% context-neutralized) according to the projections is the Arizona Cardinals.
James Conner has been a less important option in his team's offense this season, playing on just 62.9% of snaps vs 79.5% last season.
The projections expect James Conner to total 15.7 rush attempts in this week's game, on average, placing him in the 89th percentile when it comes to RBs.
Favors Under
Given their underlying strategic approach and game dynamics, the Cardinals are forecasted by the projection model to run only 64.1 offensive plays in this contest: the 10th-lowest number among all teams this week.
The pass games of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) stand to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (i.e. zero wind) inside this dome, while ground volume may fall-off.
The Arizona O-line ranks as the 5th-worst in football last year at executing run-blocking assingments.
As it relates to the defensive tackles' role in run defense, Los Angeles's unit has been terrific this year, projecting as the 4th-best in the league.
