Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Dillon Mitchell (Texas) / Over Rebounds / 7.5 at -115 / 65% / Mitchell averages 8.2 rebounds per game this season, thriving against Vanderbilt’s depleted frontcourt due to injury absence, with Texas controlling the glass in home matchups.

Player Prop #2: Jason Rivera (Vanderbilt) / Over Points / 18.5 at -110 / 62% / Rivera leads Vandy with 19.1 PPG in recent outings, exploiting Texas’s perimeter defense that allows 12.5 opponent 3s per game, boosted by increased usage without Collins.

Player Prop #3: Ibrahim Mohamed (Texas) / Over Points / 12.5 at -105 / 58% / Mohamed posts 13.8 PPG at home, facing a Vanderbilt defense vulnerable inside (allowing 42% FG in paint), with his efficiency rising in conference play.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Vanderbilt due to their undefeated record, but divergent money distribution and reverse line movement suggest sharp resistance, making a fade on the public via Texas optimal for value. Both offenses have cooled recently, pointing to a lower-scoring affair aligned with defensive efficiencies. Overall, the matchup favors a gritty, under-the-total contest where home advantage tempers Vanderbilt’s dominance.
