💹 Market Alignment
Divergent

📉 Line Movement
Spread opened at -15.5 early week, moved to -16.5 with sharp action on GT despite heavy public bets; total steady at 52.5 after brief dip to 51.5 on injury news for Syracuse QB.

💡 Mathematical Edge (EV)
+2.1% on GT spread cover (52.3% sim prob vs 52.4% implied at -110); +4.8% on under (60.2% prob vs 52.4% implied); no clear ML edge after vig adjustment, but GT win prob overstates value.

Top 3 Player Props
– Player Prop #1: Jamal Haynes / Over Rushing Yards 85.5 / -115 / 72% / Haynes averages 92 YPG on 5.2 YPC with explosive plays; Syracuse ranks bottom-25 in rush defense (4.8 YPC allowed), supporting over based on tempo and usage rate.
– Player Prop #2: Hayden Gurley / Under Passing Yards 180.5 / -110 / 68% / Syracuse backup QB post-Angeli injury averages 142 YPG with low efficiency (55% completion); GT’s secondary creates havoc (12% sack rate), favoring under via defensive metrics.
– Player Prop #3: Eric Singleton Jr. / Over Receiving Yards 45.5 / -120 / 70% / Singleton leads GT with 58 YPG on deep targets; Syracuse secondary vulnerable (bottom-30 explosive pass rate allowed), with QB synergy boosting over probability.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public heavily favors Georgia Tech at 78%, but money distribution shows sharper 65% lean, creating divergence that supports following the favorite without fading—line movement confirms professional respect for GT’s undefeated run and top-20 offense. Syracuse’s scoring has plummeted to 11.3 PPG in three games since QB Steve Angeli’s Achilles tear, aligning with havoc rate disadvantages against GT’s defense. Overall, expect a controlled, lower-scoring game as GT’s efficiency (yards per play 6.8) overwhelms Syracuse’s sluggish tempo (62 plays per game).

🔮 Recommended Play
