Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Parker Navarro (Ohio) / Over 225.5 Passing Yards / -110 / 72% / Navarro averages 248 YPG last 5 starts with 62% completion vs. EMU’s secondary allowing 280+ pass yds in 4 of 6 home games; high usage in tempo offense (45 plays/min).

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public heavily favors Ohio, but money disparity suggests sharp interest in EMU covering as road underdog with home crowd support. Math aligns with following Ohio on spread due to superior yards per play (Ohio 5.8 vs. EMU 4.2) and turnover differential, though no fade needed as EV confirms value without public overreaction. Game outlook leans low-scoring with both offenses struggling in recent MAC matchups (combined 48 PPG last 4 games), favoring under based on defensive metrics and neutral weather at Rynearson Stadium.

🔮 Recommended Play
