Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Byrum Brown (USF QB) / Prop Type = Over 250.5 Passing Yards / Line = 250.5 / Odds = -110 / Confidence % = 68 / USF’s high-tempo offense (top-20 in plays per game) faces Memphis secondary allowing 220+ yards recently; Brown’s 65% completion rate and explosive play rate support exceeding line against average havoc defense.
Player Prop #2: Brandon Thomas (Memphis RB) / Prop Type = Under 85.5 Rushing Yards / Line = 85.5 / Odds = -115 / Confidence % = 62 / Potential QB injury shifts focus to run game, but USF’s run defense ranks top-15 in yards per carry allowed (3.8); Thomas’s recent average dips below 80 in road games vs. strong fronts.
Player Prop #3: Montrell Johnson (USF RB) / Prop Type = Over 70.5 Rushing Yards / Line = 70.5 / Odds = -110 / Confidence % = 65 / Johnson’s 5.2 yards per carry efficiency thrives against Memphis’s 4th-down aggressive defense; USF’s offensive tempo (68 plays/game) and low turnover rate boost volume in high-scoring outlook.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors South Florida, aligning with money distribution and the Bulls’ ranking and form, but reverse line movement toward Memphis suggests sharp resistance possibly tied to home-field value and injury overreactions. Mathematical models confirm following the public on USF moneyline while finding value fading on the spread due to simulation edges. Overall game scoring projects as moderate, with both teams’ balanced offenses (USF 35+ PPG, Memphis 32 PPG) meeting solid defenses, tilting toward the under based on tempo adjustments and weather-neutral conditions.
