Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Justin Jefferson / Over Receiving Yards / 85.5 / -115 / 62% / Jefferson averages 92 yards per game vs. Commanders’ secondary (allows 250+ air yards recently); Washington’s pass defense ranks 28th in EPA per pass, favoring over with Daniels potentially forcing targets.

Player Prop #2: Jayden Daniels / Under Passing Yards / 225.5 / -110 / 58% / Daniels returns from injury but faces Vikings’ top-5 pass rush (28 sacks); Commanders’ O-line injuries (Fant out) limit protection, projecting under based on his 210-yard average in limited action this season.

Player Prop #3: Aaron Jones / Over Rushing Yards / 65.5 / -120 / 60% / Vikings’ run game thrives at home (Jones 78 yards avg.); Commanders allow 4.8 YPC to RBs, with front-seven injuries (Wagner questionable) boosting over probability per recent trends.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment leans Commanders due to Daniels’ hype, but sharp money and reverse line movement favor Vikings, aligning with math for a fade. Both defenses dominate (combined 38 PPG allowed last 5 games), pointing to a grind-it-out, low-scoring battle under the total. Contrarian play on Vikings exploits overreaction to Washington’s QB return without full offensive support.

🔮 Recommended Play
[Fade the public on Commanders / Follow the sharp with Vikings] — simulation and metrics confirm highest probability on home side.
