Buccaneers QB Tom Brady
Under 295.5 Passing Yards (-110 FanDuel)
Note: We locked this in play at opening for our subscribers at U300.5 passing yards, but we like it down to 290.5 as well. If you are a bettor who needs every drop of CLV you can get, we are the betting service for you.
This is just a big number for a guy in a tough matchup, struggling to find consistency and averaging only 273.9 yards.
- Brady’s median result is 266 yards
- He has gone under this line in six of 10 games; seven of 10 if you got our line of 300.5
- Ranks 23rd among qualified QBs with a 7.1 YPA
- Brady ranks sixth in passing yards but just 22nd in completion percentage, highlighting his inefficiency and need for volume
He may not get much of either against the Rams.
The Matchup
Guess which defense has held opposing QBs to the fewest yards per attempt?
It’s not the Steelers, and it’s not the Ravens; it’s the Rams leading the way with a sterling 5.7 YPA against, despite fading MVP candidates Russell Wilson and Josh Allen.
Just one QB has hit this number against LA — Allen had 311, while the rest of the group averaged 187 yards.
Not only are QBs facing them extremely inefficient, but they don’t get in much volume either. Because they are one of the run-heaviest teams in the league (they run 46% of the time, eighth-most), Rams opponents are running 62 plays per game, ninth-fewest.
Low volume combined with low efficiency is a tough way to make a living; just ask the QBs who’ve faced LA this season, who are 7-3 to the under.
| PLAYER | TEAM | LINE | RESULT | O/U |
| Kyle Allen | WAS | 229.5 | 74 | Under |
| Daniel Jones | NYG | 247.5 | 190 | Under |
| Josh Allen | BUF | 270.5 | 311 | Over |
| Carson Wentz | PHI | 265.5 | 242 | Under |
| Dak Prescott | DAL | 285.5 | 266 | Under |
| Jimmy Garoppolo | SF | 238.5 | 268 | Over |
| Nick Foles | CHI | 240.5 | 261 | Over |
| Tua Tagovailoa | MIA | 235.5 | 93 | Under |
| Russell Wilson | SEA | 304.5 | 248 | Under |
Conclusion
Brady is 6-4 to the under on yardage props in 2020.
This line is just too inflated, a likely result of Brady’s name power multiplied by everyone loving to bet overs in primetime.
I’d probably set it closer to 273.5 yards, so we’ve got plenty of rope here. I’d play it down to 287.5, but again, we may see some buy-back on the over at some point today, so stay patient.
