San Francisco @ Arizona Picks & Props

The Arizona Cardinals may lean on the pass less this week (and call more rushes) since they be forced to start backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett. At a -3-point disadvantage, the Cardinals are underdogs in this week's game, suggesting more of an emphasis on moving the ball through the air than their normal approach. The projections expect the Arizona Cardinals as the 4th-most pass-centric team among all teams this week with a 61.9% pass rate, based on their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics. At the present time, the 6th-most pass-centric team in the league near the end zone (59.5% context-neutralized) according to the projections is the Cardinals. Based on their underlying propensities and game dynamics, the Cardinals are predicted by the projection model to run 65.7 offensive plays in this game: the 9th-highest number among all teams this week.

Our trusted projections expect this game to have the 5th-largest volume of plays run among all games this week at 131.1 plays, based on the traits of each team and game dynamics. The 6th-largest volume of plays in football have been called by the 49ers this year (a colossal 59.9 per game on average). This game will be played in a dome—meaning zero wind, higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and increased passing efficiency. The Arizona Cardinals defense has been a bit of pass funnel this year, compelling opposing quarterbacks to attempt the 8th-most passes in football (36.2 per game) this year. With a high 20.0% Red Zone Target Share (80th percentile) this year, Jauan Jennings stands as one of the wideouts with the most usage near the end zone in football.

In regards to air yards, Christian McCaffrey grades out in the lofty 100th percentile among RBs this year, accruing an impressive 23.0 per game. (due to most of their targets being behind the line of scrimmage, that is far more noteworthy than it appears since most RBs average negative air yards).
