Analysis

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Touchdowns Prop is currently Over/Under 0.5 (+1776/-2579).

Key Factors

Favors Over

This week's line implies an extreme passing game script for the Chargers, who are giant -7-point underdogs.
The 6th-largest volume of plays in the NFL have been called by the Chargers since the start of last season (a whopping 59.5 per game on average).
The weather report calls for 4-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means increased pass volume, and lower run volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.
The Seattle Seahawks defense has been something of pass funnel since the start of last season, causing opposing quarterbacks to attempt the 4th-most passes in the league (35.6 per game) since the start of last season.
Opposing teams have run for the fewest touchdowns in the league (0.45 per game) vs. the Seahawks defense since the start of last season.

Favors Under

The Chargers rank as the 8th-least pass-heavy team in the NFL (in a neutral context) this year with a 56.9% pass rate.
Based on their underlying traits and game dynamics, the Chargers are expected by the model to call just 62.7 offensive plays in this game: the 10th-lowest number on the slate this week.
Our trusted projections expect Marquez Valdes-Scantling to be a less important option in his team's pass attack near the goal line in this game (2.3% projected Red Zone Target Share) than he has been since the start of last season (8.1% in games he has played).
When talking about protecting the passer (and the effect it has on all passing attack statistics), the O-line of the Chargers grades out as the 2nd-worst in the league since the start of last season.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling comes in as one of the most unreliable receivers in the league, hauling in just 52.6% of balls thrown his way (adjusted for context) since the start of last season, checking in at the 23rd percentile among wideouts
