Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Kaytron Allen / Over Rushing Attempts / 10.5 at -120 / 72% / Allen has exceeded this in 10 of his last 12 games, including against strong defenses; Penn State’s run-heavy scheme exploits Nebraska’s injured front seven, boosting his volume in a favorable matchup.
Player Prop #2: Drew Allar / Over Passing Yards / 250.5 at -110 / 68% / Allar averages 278 yards per game at home this season with a 65% completion rate; Nebraska’s secondary injuries and pass-funnel defense (allowing 220+ yards in 6 of 10 games) support a strong over.
Player Prop #3: Emmett Johnson / Over Rushing Yards / 60.5 at -110 / 62% / With Nebraska’s QB injuries forcing a run-first approach, Johnson has hit over in 7 of 10 starts, averaging 72 yards; Penn State’s defense allows 4.2 yards per carry to backs but faces increased usage here.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Penn State, aligning with money distribution and sharp action indicated by the line movement to -9.5, making a follow-the-public approach optimal as metrics confirm the edge without contrarian value. Nebraska’s lengthy injury report, including their starting QB out for the season, hampers their offense against Penn State’s top-25 havoc rate defense. Overall game scoring leans low, with both teams’ defensive efficiencies projecting under the total based on current season yards per play and turnover margins.
