Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Garrett Nussmeier / Over Passing Yards / 280.5 at -115 / 72% / Nussmeier averages 285 yards in home games this season against weaker secondaries, with Western Kentucky allowing 250+ passing yards in 7 of 10 outings due to poor havoc rate.
Player Prop #2: Harold Perkins Jr. / Over Tackles + Assists / 7.5 at -110 / 68% / Perkins leads LSU with 8.2 tackles per game in recent matchups, exploiting Western Kentucky’s high rushing attempts (45+ per game) and weak offensive line protection.
Player Prop #3: Isaiah Myers / Under Receiving Yards / 45.5 at -105 / 65% / Myers held under 40 yards in 6 of 8 road games, facing LSU’s top-ranked secondary (allowing 150 passing yards per game) and limited targets with key WRs out.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors LSU, aligning with sharp money and line movement toward the Tigers, making a follow strategy optimal rather than fading. Western Kentucky’s 8-2 ATS record is notable but fades against Power 5 foes, where they’ve covered just once. Overall scoring projects moderately high due to LSU’s efficient offense (38 points per game allowed) clashing with WKU’s leaky defense (28 points allowed), tilting toward the over.
