Bo has cleared this in 4 of his last 5 games, but a deeper look shows he’s scrambling at a much lower rate this season, with only 2 scrambles over his last 3 games. Both of those went for 21+ yards, which is the clear path for this prop to lose early.. 1 or 2 long scrambles and it’s toast. Like every prop, there’s a very real way it loses, and that’s it. Nix has only scrambled on 4.5% of his dropbacks this season compared to 7.7% as a rookie. I actually think he should be scrambling more since he’s a good runner, but he’s playing more in structure this year and behind an elite offensive line that keeps his pocket clean. He should have one of his cleanest pockets of the season against a Raiders defense that ranks 2nd worst in pressure rate. Maxx Crosby has the lowest pressure rate of his career because teams are doubling him and the rest of the Raiders pass rush hasn’t stepped up. That means Nix should face even less pressure that would push him out of the pocket to use his legs. I still expect 1-2 scrambles and maybe a design run or two, but the Raiders have been one of the best teams at limiting yards on scrambles, allowing just 5.3 yards per scramble (3rd lowest in the league) despite facing several mobile QBs. Plus, they’ve been more aggressive with where their safeties line up, with Jeremy Chinn playing 0 snaps deep last week and Isaiah Pola-Mao lining up 3 yards closer to the line of scrimmage. A similar approach this week could limit the odds of Nix hitting another 20+ yard scramble. It’s possible he pops one early, but I think the market is a bit inflated based on those recent long runs. I have this closer to 18.5 yards with around a 59% chance he stays under 21.5.

Singleton has been a tackle machine this year, averaging 8.7 per game, and in most matchups an 8.5 line would make sense. But this week looks inflated for a few reasons. He’s heavily involved in run defense and typically gets a tackle on about 22% of opponent rushes, but Denver’s opponents have averaged 25.5 rushes per game. I’m projecting the Raiders closer to 21.5, which is about 4 fewer runs.. meaning fewer tackle chances. The Broncos are 7-2 but have trailed at some point in every game, allowing opponents to lean on the run more than expected. This week, that script likely flips, especially with Pat Surtain out. The Raiders should throw more, particularly outside, where tackle chances for LBs drop off. While Brock Bowers will see plenty of targets, he’s essentially a WR. Only about 22% of his receptions involve a LB in on the tackle, so Singleton probably won’t rack up many on him. Another key factor..Geno Smith offenses have consistently produced fewer LB tackle opportunities. The Raiders have provided the 3rd fewest tackle opps for LBs this season, and Geno’s Seahawks ranked dead last in 2023. That trend has carried over year to year. Finally, Dre Greenlaw made his Broncos debut last week and, despite only a 37% snap share, led the team with 7 run tackles. His snap count should climb, which could start cutting into Singleton’s run tackles. Add in the fact that Ashton Jeanty leads the league with a 31% stuff rate (limiting runs that reach the 2nd level) and there’s even less tackle upside. It’s not for the faint of heart fading Singleton, but everything here points to his line being about a tackle too high. I have him projected at 7.4 with roughly a 63% chance to stay under 8.5.

From the in-game win probabilities in the award-winning Action Network app, to the DFS models on FantasyLabs, to the fantasy football rankings across the network.

Experience & Accolades

Sean is one of the most decorated fantasy analysts in the industry, finishing first in the FantasyPros In-Season Accuracy standings in 2023 – which measures almost all fantasy football analysts on their in-season projections over the course of the season. You can read more about their methodology here. He also won the in-season ranking title in 2015, 2016 and 2017. This past season, he not only finished first overall, but was the No. 1 ranker out of 180+ entrants in running back, wide receiver and kicker rankings. He was top 10 in quarterbacks and tight ends, as well.

His 2023 performance was arguably the best in the contest’s history:

  • It was a record fourth No. 1 finish in the accuracy contest
  • He was the first expert in history to be No. 1 at multiple positions (RB + WR)
  • He was the expert to finish top 10 at every position

Sean started to become obsessed with sports betting & fantasy football ever since his father took him to Las Vegas for his annual fantasy football draft (at 8 years old). Sean started trying to project teams/players ever since and almost every action/decision he's made since has led him to where he is today. He began betting 20 years ago and began his sports betting/fantasy sports career as soon as he graduated from college in 2007. Prior to joining Action in 2018, he worked for MGM, RotoHog/FastPoint games, Bloomberg Sports, STATS.

Sean began his betting career in college by building sports betting models. He eventually turned into a bookie in college before moving to Vegas to work at Excalibur Sportsbook as a supervisor. He decided to move back to California to begin a career in fantasy sports/betting at RotoHog as a product manager. That was when he began entering his season-long fantasy projections into the FSTA contests and won the award for most accurate season-long NFL & MLB projections 2-3 times each.

He then moved to NY to work for Bloomberg Sports as a product manager and Head of Projections. They were eventually acquired by STATS where he maintained the same role as a product manager. That was when he began entering his weekly NFL rankings into the FantasyPros accuracy contest and won first place 3 years in a row from 2015-2017. He joined Action Network in 2018.

Education

Sean has a BA in Psychology from Long Beach State and took multiple advanced stats classes. He spent most of his time in the library reading stats/sports betting books creating prediction models and using them to bet on various sports (MLB, NFL, NBA, WNBA, etc.).

Betting Highlights
Favorite Bet of All-Time
Patrick Mahomes under 30.5 rushing yards for Super Bowl LIV. He had 44 yards going into the final drive. Kneeled down 3 times for -15 yards to drop down to 29 yards and hit the under
Most Heartbreaking Bet
Max bet Jimmy Graham under 23.5 rec yards in the WC playoff game against NO in 2020. He had 6 yards heading into the final drive with the Bears down 3-21. On the final play of the game, Mitch Trubisky finds Graham in the back of the end zone for an insane one handed grab for a 19-yard garbage time TD. Graham finished with 25 yards and I'm still tilted by this. Side note: Stuckey was on this prop with me.
