Top 3 Player Props

– Player Prop #2: Bryce LaFollette / Under 68.5 Rushing Yards / -110 / 68% / Duke’s stout run defense (allowing just 16 PPG recently) limits BC’s ground production below typical lines.
– Player Prop #3: Evan Smith / Over 62.5 Receiving Yards / -120 / 70% / Matchup advantages in the short-to-intermediate areas plus Duke’s balanced attack favor the home skill player clearing the number.

– Star Thomas Over 65.5 Rushing Yards (-115) — High expected touch volume in a favorable game script matches up against a sliding Eagles run defense showing recent vulnerabilities.
