– Player Prop #2: Tawee Walker / Over Rushing Yards / 78.5 / -110 / 59% / Cincinnati ground game efficient vs softer fronts recently; Utah run D strong but Cincinnati home splits favor backs getting carries.
– Player Prop #3: Braden Pegan / Over Receiving Yards / 62.5 / -120 / 57% / Utah WR benefits from high-powered offense averaging 40+; Cincinnati pass D vulnerable in losses allowing big plays.

Simulation and recent form (Utah dominant but Cincinnati competitive at home scoring 35+) favor following the spread edge and Over rather than pure public Utah ML. Overall scoring outlook leans high given both teams’ recent point totals well above 50 combined.
