Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Mark Sears / Over Points / 22.5 at -110 / 72% / Sears averaged 21.5 PPG last season with high usage (28%) against inferior defenses; North Dakota’s perimeter D allows 35% from three, projecting 25+ in a fast-paced opener.

Player Prop #2: Mohamed Wague / Over Rebounds / 8.5 at -115 / 68% / Wague’s 7.2 RPG last year surges at home (9+ in exhibitions), exploiting North Dakota’s poor offensive rebounding (28% rate) for easy second-chance opportunities.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Alabama, aligning with sharp money as evidenced by the line’s movement toward the favorite, making a follow-public approach optimal for the spread and moneyline. No major injuries reported for either side, with Alabama at full strength and North Dakota missing no key contributors per updates. Overall game scoring outlook leans low, with Alabama’s stout defense (top-20 in blocks) and North Dakota’s turnover-prone offense (18% rate) capping the total below 170.
