Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Brady Cook / Over Passing Yards / 235.5 / -110 / 72% / Missouri’s QB averages 245 yards per game with high usage against weaker pass defenses like Auburn’s (allowing 220+ yards recently), favoring over due to fast pace and receiver matchups.
Player Prop #2: Jarquez Hunter / Under Rushing Yards / 85.5 / -115 / 68% / Auburn’s RB faces Missouri’s elite run defense (top-10 in yards allowed per carry), with recent trends showing under in 4 of last 5 games against strong fronts.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Missouri at home, but money distribution and reverse line movement show sharp bettors resisting, aligning with mathematical edges on Auburn due to Missouri’s receiver injuries and Auburn’s defensive improvements. Contextual factors like Missouri’s slower pace and both teams’ recent low-scoring trends (averaging 38 combined points) support fading the public without forcing contrarianism, as EV confirms value. Overall game scoring outlook leans low due to strong defenses and moderate offensive efficiencies, predicting under the total.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Auburn Tigers — mathematical probability favors the underdog with positive EV from line movement and matchup metrics.
