Player Prop #1: B. Sorsby (Cincinnati) / Over 1.5 Passing TDs / -120 / 71% / Home QB with projected volume edge against BC secondary; Cincinnati pace and red-zone efficiency support multiple scores.
Player Prop #2: C. Kandra (Cincinnati) / Over 65.5 Rushing Yards / -115 / 68% / Featured back in home run game; BC run defense projected softer early, positive matchup for ground attack.
Player Prop #3: J. French (Boston College) / Under 225.5 Passing Yards / -110 / 66% / Road QB facing Cincinnati front that forces check-downs; lower total game script and Under lean reduce volume.
