LAS VEGAS - Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders have had a truly unique season - they’ve lost all sorts of offensive and defensive weapons to all sorts of circumstances, but they’re in a win-and-in position to make it to the NFL playoffs.
Carr himself has been something of a statistical outlier among QBs this season - he’s fifth in the league in passing yards, but tied for 12th in touchdowns.
Car has 4618 yards and 21 touchdowns, meaning he passes for 219 yards per touchdown.
No other quarterback with more than 3800 passing yards on the season has less than 30 touchdowns, let alone Carr’s 21.
This makes wagering on his touchdown and passing yard O/U’s a tricky prospect.
