Michael Carter Rushing TD
Player Prop Week 4

Pittsburgh Steelers vs New York Jets

 
 
 
Michael Carter Rushing TD Prop is currently Over/Under 0.5 (+225/-320).

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:
  • THE BLITZ projects this game to see the largest volume of plays run on the slate this week at 138.5 plays, given the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
  • The New York Jets have been faced with a stacked the box on just 13.6% of their plays since the start of last season, 9th-least in football. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
  • The New York Jets have risked going for it on 4th down 22.0% of the time since the start of last season (10th-most in the NFL), which usually means more offensive volume, more TD potential, and higher offensive stats across the board.
  • The New York Jets have used some form of misdirection on 57.6% of their play-calls since the start of last season (3rd-most in football), which usually makes an offense more unpredictable and more effective.

  • FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:
  • The Jets are a 3-point underdog in this week's contest, likely creating a passing game script.
  • THE BLITZ projects the New York Jets as the 5th-least run-heavy team in the NFL near the end zone (context-neutralized) at the moment with a 38.7% red zone run rate.
  • THE BLITZ projects Michael Carter to be a much smaller piece of his offense's run game near the goal line this week (41.4% projected Red Zone Carry Share) than he has been this year (66.7% in games he has played).
  • The Pittsburgh Steelers defensive ends rank as the 3rd-best DE corps in the league since the start of last season with their run defense.
  • The Pittsburgh Steelers have stacked the box versus opponents on 21.0% of their plays since the start of last season, 6th-most in football. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
