Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Tommy Castellanos / Over Passing Yards / 250.5 at -110 / 70% / Leads nation in yards per completion at 16.07, Wake Forest secondary ranks bottom-50 in explosive play allowance per recent stats

Player Prop #2: Gavin Sawchuk / Over Rushing Yards / 75.5 at -115 / 65% / FSU’s ground game averages 4.2 yards per carry against similar defenses, with Sawchuk’s 62 projected yards from simulation supporting volume in home matchup

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Florida State at 72%, but money distribution at 65% shows some divergence, potentially indicating sharp caution on the large spread; however, reverse line movement from -8.5 to -10 confirms professional backing for FSU. Mathematical edges align with following the public on the favorite due to simulation win probability and EV on the spread, while contextual factors like no major injuries and FSU’s home dominance support a moderate-scoring affair around the total. Overall game outlook points to FSU controlling with balanced offense against Wake’s inconsistent defense, favoring overs based on combined yards per play trends.

🔮 Recommended Play

Follow the public on Florida State — simulation convergence and +3.2% EV on the spread provide the strongest mathematical probability in a divergent market.
