Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Byrum Brown / Over Passing Yards / 285.5 at -115 / 65% / Brown’s 68% completion rate and 2,500+ season yards exploit UAB’s secondary allowing 250+ per game, with high usage in favorable matchups.

Player Prop #2: De’Shawn Rucker / Over Receiving Yards / 75.5 at -110 / 60% / Rucker’s 15+ targets per game and 12.5 YPC average align with UAB’s vulnerability to explosive passes, projecting 90+ yards in this spot.

Player Prop #3: J.C. Sivley / Under Tackles / 7.5 at -105 / 58% / Sivley’s recent average of 5 tackles drops against run-heavy offenses like South Florida’s, with defensive rotations limiting his snaps.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors South Florida, aligning with sharp money on the moneyline but creating divergence on the spread where UAB holds value due to simulation edges. Following the public on the outright win makes sense mathematically, but fading on spread and total optimizes EV given low-scoring projections from both defenses’ havoc rates and turnover margins. Overall, expect a controlled, under-paced game with South Florida pulling away late but not covering the inflated line.
