Player Prop #2: Caullin Lacy / Under Receiving Yards / 72.5 / -110 / 68% / Lacy held under 70 yards in 4 of last 5 road games; SMU’s man coverage limits slot WRs to 5.1 receptions per game on average against similar opponents this season.

Player Prop #3: RJ Maryland / Over Receptions / 5.5 / -120 / 70% / Maryland exceeds 5 catches in 70% of games with Jennings starting, exploiting Louisville’s zone weaknesses that yield 6.8 targets to slot receivers in current season matchups.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment leans toward SMU but aligns with sharp money and line movement, making a follow on the Mustangs optimal rather than a fade, as EV supports their edge from superior havoc rate and Louisville’s depleted backfield. Contextual factors like SMU’s rest advantage post-bye and Louisville’s out players tilt the matchup favorably for Dallas. Overall game scoring projects moderately high, with combined offenses averaging 59 points but defenses capable of forcing turnovers to cap at around 57 total.
