Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Dillon Mitchell / Over Rebounds / 8.5 at -110 / 72% / Mitchell averaged 9.2 rebounds in Texas’s opener with high usage on the glass; Lafayette’s weak interior defense allows 35+ opponent boards per game, favoring the over based on rebounding rates.
Player Prop #2: Max Abmas / Over Points / 15.5 at -115 / 68% / Abmas scored 18 in his debut, exploiting slower Patriot League defenses; Lafayette concedes 78 points per contest with poor perimeter D (38% opponent 3PT), supporting continued scoring efficiency.
Player Prop #3: Justin Vander Bilt / Under Points / 12.5 at -105 / 70% / Vander Bilt managed just 10 in Lafayette’s win, facing Texas’s elite adjusted defensive efficiency (95 rating); Longhorns limit guards to under 11 PPG in matchups, with turnover pressure tilting under.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Texas, aligning with sharp money as evidenced by stable lines and high money percentage on the favorite, making following the public the optimal mathematical play in this talent mismatch. No significant injuries reported for either side as of 2025-11-08, with Texas’s home rest advantage and Lafayette’s road travel adding to the edge. Overall game scoring outlook leans under, as Texas’s top-20 defensive rebounding and Lafayette’s deliberate tempo (68 possessions per game) suppress pace against stronger foes.
