Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Jake Rider (Air Force) / Over Passing Yards / 120.5 / -110 / 62% / Rider’s 65% completion rate and Army’s vulnerability to option-pass plays (allowing 180+ pass yds in 4 of last 5) support over, with sim averaging 135 yds in favorable matchups.

Player Prop #2: Bryson Daily (Army) / Over Rushing Yards / 85.5 / -115 / 58% / Daily’s 6.2 ypc efficiency shines against AF’s run defense (3.8 ypc allowed), backed by Army’s 280+ rush yds average and sim projecting 92 yds.

Player Prop #3: David Walker (Air Force) / Over Rushing Yards / 70.5 / -105 / 55% / Walker’s role in triple-option scheme yields 75+ yds in 70% of home games; Army’s front seven fatigued from travel, with defensive metrics showing 4.2 ypc allowed to RBs.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment leans slightly toward the home Falcons with aligned money distribution, suggesting no sharp resistance and supporting a follow on Air Force moneyline value. Both teams’ run-focused schemes limit explosive plays, projecting a low-scoring affair under 48.5 based on tempo (AF 55 plays/game, Army 58) and defensive havoc rates. No major injuries reported, but Army’s travel from Louisiana adds minor fatigue factor without shifting edges.

🔮 Recommended Play

Follow the public with Air Force moneyline — simulation and home advantage confirm 56.3% win probability, offering positive EV against even-money pricing.
