Josh Palmer Receptions
Player Prop Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers vs Las Vegas Raiders

Josh Palmer Receptions Prop is currently Over/Under 4.5 (-120/-109).

The money has been on the Over as it opened 4.5 @ +100 before it was bet up to 4.5 @ -120.

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:

The Los Angeles Chargers have run the 4th-most plays in the NFL last year, totaling a colossal 60.6 plays per game.

The pass attacks of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) figure to benefit from the still weather conditions (1-mph wind) being predicted in this game, while ground volume may drop.

This week, Josh Palmer is expected by the projection model to place in the 78th percentile among WRs with 6.7 targets.

Josh Palmer's 45.3 WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced metric that calculates high-value offensive usage) puts him in the company of the best in the NFL: 81st percentile for wide receivers.

Last year, the feeble Raiders pass defense has been torched for a massive 69.6% Adjusted Completion Rate versus opposing wideouts: the 4th-biggest rate in the NFL.

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:

The Chargers are a 3-point favorite this week, likely creating a rushing game script.

Accounting for their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Chargers to pass on 55.6% of their downs: the 10th-lowest clip on the slate this week.

Accounting for the game dynamics and the underlying approaches of each team, this contest is forecasted by our trusted projection set to have just 125.1 plays on offense run: the 2nd-lowest number out of all the games this week.

When it comes to defensive ends getting after the quarterback, Las Vegas's group of DEs has been fantastic last year, ranking as the 4th-best in the NFL.
