Top 3 Player Props

• Player Prop #1: KJ Simpson (Colorado) / Over Points / 19.5 at -110 / 68% / Simpson’s 22.4 PPG last season and high usage (28%) against Montana State’s weaker perimeter D; offensive rebounding aids second-chance looks.
• Player Prop #2: Cody Williams (Colorado) / Over Rebounds / 6.5 at -115 / 65% / Williams averaged 5.0 RPG but projects higher in home opener with Colorado’s +4.2 rebound margin; Montana State’s low defensive rebound % (68%) supports over.
• Player Prop #3: Great Osobor (Montana St) / Under Points / 15.5 at -105 / 70% / Osobor’s road efficiency dips to 48% eFG vs. power-con foes; Colorado’s top-100 defensive rating limits interior scoring, aligning with under in sims.
