Top 3 Player Props

• Player Prop #1: Indiana QB Brendan Sorsdal / Over Passing Yards / 250.5 / -110 / 72% / Sorsdal’s 68% completion rate and 8.2 yards per attempt against weaker secondaries align with Maryland’s pass defense allowing 280+ yards recently, supporting the over based on offensive tempo data.
• Player Prop #2: Maryland RB Roman Hemby / Under Rushing Yards / 45.5 / -115 / 68% / Hemby’s 3.9 yards per carry average drops against top run defenses like Indiana’s (top 10 havoc rate), with simulations showing limited opportunities due to Indiana’s front seven dominance.
• Player Prop #3: Indiana WR Donaven McCulley / Over Receiving Yards / 75.5 / -105 / 70% / McCulley’s 15% target share and big-play ability (12.5 yards per catch) exploit Maryland’s secondary weaknesses, backed by offensive efficiency metrics favoring explosive passes.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Indiana, aligning with sharp money and simulation outcomes, making a follow-the-public approach optimal as no reverse line movement or contrarian signals emerge. Maryland’s defensive lapses and Indiana’s high-powered attack suggest a lopsided affair, with the game’s scoring outlook leaning toward the over due to the Hoosiers’ pace and explosive play rate outpacing Maryland’s ability to contain. No major injuries alter the landscape, though Maryland’s home-field edge provides minimal resistance.
