Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Deante McCray (FSU) / Over 45.5 Rushing Yards / -110 / 72% / FSU’s home ground game has produced consistent yardage against softer fronts; Clemson’s recent defensive lapses (allowed 20+ in two of three) support the over.
Player Prop #2: Trent Pearman (Clemson) / Under 225.5 Passing Yards / -115 / 68% / Clemson’s aerial attack averaged under 200 in recent outings while FSU’s pass defense limited opponents effectively in wins; matchup favors limited production.
Player Prop #3: A.J. Cottrill (FSU) / Over 4.5 Receptions / -105 / 71% / FSU’s short-area passing volume has been high in home wins and Clemson’s secondary has surrendered receptions at elevated rates in losses.

Top 3 Player Props – Florida State Seminoles
– Deante McCray / Over 45.5 Rushing Yards / -110 / 72% / Home run-game efficiency and Clemson run defense vulnerabilities drive high hit probability.
– A.J. Cottrill / Over 4.5 Receptions / -105 / 71% / Volume role in FSU’s offense against a secondary allowing high catch rates.
– Omar Graham Jr. / Over 55.5 Receiving Yards / -110 / 69% / Recent FSU passing outputs and matchup against Clemson’s secondary support yardage over.

Top 3 Player Props – Clemson Tigers
– Trent Pearman / Under 225.5 Passing Yards / -115 / 68% / Low recent aerial totals and FSU pass rush pressure project limited yards.
– Jaheim Lawson / Under 55.5 Rushing Yards / -110 / 70% / Clemson ground game has been capped below 50 in two of last three while FSU run defense holds firm at home.
– Kylon Griffin / Over 3.5 Receptions / -105 / 67% / Checkdown volume expected against FSU’s coverage scheme that forces short throws.
