Top 3 Player Props

• Player Prop #1: Ashton Jeanty / Over Rushing Yards / 150.5 at -110 / 68% / Boise’s star RB averages 168 yards per game with 7.2 YPC; Fresno’s run defense allows 4.8 YPC to backs, supporting over in a projected 50+ point game.
• Player Prop #2: Maddux Madsen / Over Passing Yards / 225.5 at -115 / 62% / Madsen’s 68% completion rate and 8.2 YPA exploit Fresno’s secondary (bottom-50 in explosive pass defense); home splits boost volume in favorable matchups.
• Player Prop #3: Mikey Keene / Under Passing Yards / 180.5 at -110 / 65% / Fresno’s QB faces Boise’s top-25 havoc rate (sacks and pressures); recent road games show Keene under this line in 70% of starts against strong fronts.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Boise State across spreads and moneylines, but divergent money percentages hint at sharp interest in Fresno covering as a live underdog, supported by reverse line movement and Boise’s 49.4% simulated cover rate falling short of odds-implied expectations. Following the public on the moneyline makes sense given the 86% win probability, but fading on the spread offers value amid Fresno’s improved turnover margin. Overall game scoring projects moderately high, with both offenses efficient but defenses capable of forcing field goals—leaning over based on tempo and explosive play rates.

🔮 Recommended Play

Fade the public on Boise State -17.5 — mathematical probability favors Fresno keeping it within two scores in 50.6% of simulations, creating positive EV against inflated public hype.
