Joshua Kelley Carries Prop is currently Over/Under 5.5 (-105/-125).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The predictive model expects the Los Angeles Chargers offensive approach to tilt 2.1% more towards the ground game than it did last season (adjusted for context) with offensive coordinator Kellen Moore now calling the plays.
With a 4.5-point advantage, the Chargers are favored in this week's game, implying more of an emphasis on running than their typical game plan.
The projections expect the Los Angeles Chargers to call the 3rd-most offensive plays on the slate this week with 67.0 plays, based on their underlying traits and game dynamics.
After comprising 22.6% of his team's run game usage last year, Joshua Kelley has played a bigger part in the running game this year, now accounting for 33.5%.
Favors Under
Right now, the 5th-least run-centric offense in the league (34.7% context-neutralized) according to the predictive model is the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Chargers offensive line profiles as the 7th-worst in the league last year at blocking for the run game.
The Patriots safeties grade out as the best unit in football this year when it comes to defending the run.
