Random variance applied via Poisson distribution for scoring.

Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Rocco Becht (ISU QB) / Over Passing Yards / 245.5 / -115 / 72% / Becht avg 278 YPG last 3 (vs KSU/Iowa/SD), OSU pass def allows 6.8 YPP, high usage (35+ att expected); matchup favors volume
Player Prop #2: JK Johnson (OSU RB) / Under Rushing Yards / 65.5 / -110 / 69% / Johnson avg 52 YPG season amid OSU OL injuries/poor run blocks, ISU #15 havoc rate stifles RBs (3.9 YPC allowed)

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Iowa State aligning with money percentage and line movement toward Cyclones, confirming follow-public optimal as sharp action reinforces (no true RLM fade opportunity). OSU’s offensive woes (3-69 vs Oregon, 12 pts vs Tulsa) meet ISU’s defensive efficiency, projecting low-scoring affair under total. Contextual edges include ISU rest/form vs OSU 0-3 Big 12, no major injuries altering keys (verified latest reports).
