Melvin Gordon Carries
Player Prop Week 5

Denver Broncos vs Indianapolis Colts

 
 
 
Melvin Gordon Carries Prop is currently Over/Under 14.5 (+100/-130).

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:
  • The Broncos are a 3-point favorite in this week's game, likely leading to a rushing game script.
  • THE BLITZ projects Melvin Gordon to total 16.1 rush attempts in this week's contest, on average, putting him in the 88th percentile among RBs.
  • THE BLITZ projects Melvin Gordon to be a more important option in his offense's running game this week (59.1% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (40.2% in games he has played).
  • The Indianapolis Colts have stacked the box against opponents on just 13.1% of their plays since the start of last season, 8th-least in the NFL. Choosing not to bring an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.

  • FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:
  • The Denver Broncos boast a new play-caller this season in head coach Nathaniel Hackett, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to skew 3.2% more towards passing than it did last season (context-neutralized).
  • THE BLITZ projects the Broncos to run the 9th-least plays on offense among all teams this week with 63.7 plays, accounting for their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
  • This game will be played in a dome—which means no wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.
  • The Indianapolis Colts defensive tackles grade out as the best unit in the league this year when it comes to defending the run.
  • The Denver Broncos have been faced with a stacked the box on 17.6% of their plays since the start of last season, 10th-most in football. Keeping an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
