Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Drake Maye / Over Passing Yards / 225.5 at -110 / 68% / Maye’s recent efficiency against weakened secondaries aligns with Bills’ injury-hit DBs, projecting 250+ yards based on home splits and matchup pace.

Player Prop #2: James Cook / Over Rushing Yards / 65.5 at -115 / 72% / Cook’s usage rate surges in favorable run defenses like New England’s, with historical averages exceeding this line in 4 of last 5 road games against similar fronts.

Player Prop #3: Stefon Diggs / Over Receptions / 4.5 at -120 / 65% / Diggs thrives in high-target roles versus man coverage, and Patriots’ secondary gaps from injuries boost catch probability, supported by 5+ receptions in comparable recent outings.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors the Bills, but divergent money distribution and reverse line movement indicate sharp resistance, making a fade of the public optimal through the Patriots’ side. Both defenses rank top-10 in EPA allowed recently, pointing to a controlled, lower-scoring game under the total. Injury impacts, particularly Buffalo’s secondary absences, tilt exploitable edges without invalidating the math.

🔮 Recommended Play

[Fade the public on Buffalo Bills / Follow the sharp with New England Patriots / No clear edge] — Patriots hold the best mathematical probability of covering and winning outright.
