Jaxon Smith-Njigba Receptions Prop is currently Over/Under 4.5 (+125/-155).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The Seahawks may rely on the pass game less in this contest (and hand the ball off more) since they be rolling with backup QB Drew Lock.
At a -14.5-point disadvantage, the Seahawks are big underdogs in this game, implying much more of a focus on moving the ball through the air than their typical approach.
Given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the projections expect the Seattle Seahawks to pass on 66.6% of their opportunities: the highest frequency among all teams this week.
Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 39.8 pass attempts per game versus the San Francisco 49ers defense this year: 2nd-most in the league.
In this contest, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is predicted by the model to land in the 78th percentile when it comes to wideouts with 6.8 targets.
Favors Under
The leading projections forecast the Seahawks to run the fewest total plays on the slate this week with 61.8 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
The 8th-fewest plays in the NFL have been called by the Seahawks this year (a measly 55.8 per game on average).
When it comes to linebackers in defending receivers, San Francisco's unit has been great this year, projecting as the 2nd-best in the league.
