Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Maxime Raynaud (Stanford) / Over 17.5 Points / -110 / 72% / Averaging high usage in recent wins (93,77 pts games), Pitt allows bigs to dominate inside with poor rebounding defense.

Player Prop #3: Jaland Lowe (Pittsburgh) / Over 12.5 Points / -110 / 65% / Lead scorer in away wins (78,84 pts), Stanford’s perimeter D vulnerable to guards per recent allowed 77 pts.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Stanford ML (87%) with aligned money, but spread shows divergence with sharper money on Pittsburgh +8.5, justifying contrarian lean on dog cover over public favorite pile-on.
