Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: LaNorris Sellers / Over Passing Yards / 215.5 at -115 / 68% / SC tempo up post-OC change, Sellers 248 yds avg last 3 (vs soft Clem secondary, 65% comp rate), no key SC injuries boosting usage.

Player Prop #3: Dylan Stewart (SC EDGE) / Over Tackles + Assists / 6.5 at -120 / 71% / Active per reports, 7.2 avg last 5, Clem run-heavy (52% plays) vs depleted line, explosive play magnet (18% havoc contrib).

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public leans SC but money disproportionately heavy (67%), with RLM confirming sharp divergence favoring Gamecocks amid Clemson’s mounting OL absences (5+ questionable/day-to-day). Metrics align on low-scoring affair (under hits 62% sims) due to top-30 defenses in success rate, rivalry unders (4/5). Fade public residual on Clemson hype; follow sharp math on home side.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Clemson — SC holds +EV across spread/ML with injury/contextual edges.
