Melvin Gordon Carries
Player Prop Week 2

Denver Broncos vs Houston Texans

 
 
 
Melvin Gordon Carries Prop is currently Over/Under 12.5 (-109/-119).

The money has been on the Over as it opened 12.5 @ -103 before it was bet up to 12.5 @ -109.
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:
  • The Broncos are an enormous 10-point favorite in this week's contest, likely creating an extreme rushing game script.
  • THE BLITZ projects the Denver Broncos as the 7th-most run-centric team among all teams this week with a 44.9% run rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
  • THE BLITZ projects Melvin Gordon to total 12.7 rush attempts in this week's contest, on average, placing him in the 82nd percentile among RBs.
  • Melvin Gordon has garnered 52.1% of his team's rush attempts since the start of last season, ranking him in the 87th percentile among running backs.
  • The Houston Texans safeties rank as the 30th-worst unit in football since the start of last season with their run defense.

  • FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:
  • The Denver Broncos will have a new play-caller this year in head coach Nathaniel Hackett, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to lean 4.0% more towards passing than it did last year (in a neutral context).
  • THE BLITZ projects the Denver Broncos offense as the slowest paced team in the NFL (adjusted for context) right now, averaging 29.43 seconds per snap.
  • The Denver Broncos have faced a stacked the box on 17.6% of their plays since the start of last season, 10th-most in the NFL. Positioning an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
  • The Denver Broncos have gone no-huddle on a mere 3.8% of their plays outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (8th-least in football). This slows down the pace, resulting in less volume and stat-padding.
