Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Haynes King / Over Passing Yards / 225.5 / -115 / 70% / Georgia Tech’s QB faces a Duke secondary allowing 245 passing yards per game on the road; King’s 68% completion rate and recent 3-game average of 258 yards support over, with offensive pace favoring high attempts against Duke’s weak pass rush.
Player Prop #2: Star Thomas / Under Rushing Yards / 85.5 / -110 / 67% / Duke’s RB averages 72 yards in away games, but Georgia Tech’s defense ranks top-25 in rush yards allowed (112 per game); recent trends show Thomas under in 4 of 5 vs. strong fronts, with injury reports noting minor ankle concern limiting usage.
Player Prop #3: Jamal Haynes / Over Total Touchdowns / 1.5 / +120 / 65% / Georgia Tech’s RB has scored in 6 straight home games, averaging 1.8 TDs; Duke’s run defense concedes 2.1 rushing TDs per game, and Haynes’ 5.8 yards per carry exploit matchup weaknesses for over likelihood.
⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment slightly favors Georgia Tech, aligning with money distribution and sharp action indicators from sources like Vegas Insider, where 58% of handle supports the home team amid stable line movement. Fading the public is not justified here, as mathematical EV confirms value on Georgia Tech with contextual boosts from home advantage and no major injuries; overall game scoring outlook leans low due to both teams’ top-40 defensive rankings, slow pace (Duke 62 plays/game, Georgia Tech 65), and head-to-head history averaging 48 points.
