📉 Line Movement

Line moved from -6.5 to -7.5 on Coastal Carolina despite heavy public percentage on the favorite, indicating potential sharp action on Appalachian State; totals shifted slightly toward under with volume.

💡 Mathematical Edge (EV)

Estimated +4.2% EV on Appalachian State spread and +3.8% on under, based on implied probabilities vs. refined win estimates from recent form (App State covers 58% as underdogs) and defensive efficiency ratings; no edge on moneyline due to skewed live pricing.

Top 3 Player Props

• Player Prop #1: Joey Aguilar / Over Passing Yards / 245.5 / -110 / 68% / App State’s QB averages 258 YPG with high usage against zone defenses like Coastal’s (allows 265 YPG passing); recent trends show 4/5 overs in similar matchups, favoring over based on offensive pace and weak secondary data.
• Player Prop #2: Ethan Vasko / Under Rushing Yards / 42.5 / -115 / 72% / Coastal’s QB faces App State’s top-25 rush defense (allows 112 YPG); Vasko’s averages drop to 35 YPG on the road with fatigue factors, and head-to-head history supports under as the probable side per defensive metrics.
• Player Prop #3: Kanye Roberts / Over Rushing Yards / 85.5 / -105 / 65% / App State’s RB exploits Coastal’s weak run defense (allows 168 YPG); Roberts hits 90+ in 60% of games vs. similar opponents, with no injuries and favorable game script pushing over as data indicates higher output.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Coastal Carolina, but money distribution shows divergence with sharp indicators resisting the line movement, justifying a mathematical fade on the spread where EV is positive from contextual factors like App State’s defensive trends and no major injuries. Overall game scoring outlook leans low based on both teams’ defensive efficiencies (combined 51 PPG allowed), slow pace, and recent unders in conference play, making the under the objective choice without bias. Contrarian logic applies selectively here due to reverse line movement support.

🔮 Recommended Play
