Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Nico Iamaleava / Over Passing Yards / 240.5 / -110 / 68% / Tennessee’s QB has cleared 240 yards in 7 of 8 home games this season, exploiting Oklahoma’s secondary that ranks 85th in pass efficiency defense per recent SP+ metrics.

Player Prop #2: Jovonta Williams / Under Rushing Yards / 45.5 / -115 / 72% / Oklahoma’s lead back faces Tennessee’s top-20 havoc rate defense, held under 45 yards in 4 of last 5 road games against similar fronts, per adjusted yards-per-carry data.

Player Prop #3: Dylan Sampson / Over Receiving Yards / 55.5 / -105 / 65% / Tennessee’s WR has seen increased targets with injuries thinning the depth chart, averaging 62 yards versus Big 12-like defenses, supported by Oklahoma’s 78th-ranked slot coverage efficiency.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Tennessee at 72% of bets, but divergent money distribution (45% on Oklahoma) and reverse line movement suggest sharp resistance, creating value in fading the Vols on the spread. Both offenses struggle with consistency—Oklahoma at 112th in success rate, Tennessee at 65th—pointing to a controlled, lower-scoring affair under the total despite the simulation’s slight over lean. Overall, the math supports following sharp action on the underdog without forcing a full public fade, as Tennessee’s home edge holds for the moneyline.

🔮 Recommended Play

Fade the public on Oklahoma +2.5 — mathematical probability favors the Sooners covering, backed by sharp money and simulation edges in a matchup where Tennessee’s hype overvalues their inconsistent attack.
