💹 Market Alignment
Divergent

📉 Line Movement
Opened at Texas -2.5 across major books; moved to -3 by game day despite heavy public backing on Vanderbilt, signaling sharp money on the Longhorns and potential value shift on the spread.

💡 Mathematical Edge (EV)
+2% EV on Vanderbilt +3, as the simulation’s near-even cover probability contrasts with the line’s implied 52-55% for Texas, amplified by reverse line movement against public sentiment.

Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Diego Pavia / Over Passing Yards / 225.5 at -110 / 62% / Vanderbilt’s QB has exceeded this in 6 of 8 games with a 68% completion rate against similar defenses, bolstered by Texas’s secondary allowing 240+ yards in recent matchups
Player Prop #2: Quintrevion Wisner / Over Rushing Yards / 65.5 at -115 / 58% / Texas RB averages 72 yards per game at home with strong offensive line support, facing Vanderbilt’s run defense that yields 4.2 yards per carry on average
Player Prop #3: Arch Manning / Under Passing Yards / 240.5 at -105 / 55% / If Manning plays through concussion concerns, his efficiency drops post-injury (under in 3 of last 5), against Vanderbilt’s front seven ranking top-40 in havoc rate

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Vanderbilt as the ranked underdog, but money distribution leans Texas, indicating sharp action on the home favorite amid reverse line movement from -2.5 to -3. This divergence, combined with the simulation’s tight projections, supports fading the public for value on the spread while the total outlook points to a moderate-scoring affair given both teams’ balanced offenses and defenses averaging under 25 points allowed recently. Overall, no major injuries beyond Manning’s status tilt the math toward Texas’s home edge without overvaluing hype.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Vanderbilt — the mathematical probability favors Texas covering the spread with sharp money alignment and simulation-backed home advantage.
