Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Diego Pavia / Prop Type = Over 185.5 Passing Yards / Line 185.5 / -110 / 65% / Vanderbilt’s QB efficiency (CPOE 75th percentile) against Missouri’s secondary allowing 220+ yards in 4 of last 6 road games; usage rate high in home matchups.
Player Prop #2: Missouri RB (e.g., Nate Noel) / Prop Type = Over 72.5 Rushing Yards / Line 72.5 / -115 / 62% / Missouri’s ground game averages 4.8 YPC vs. Vandy’s run defense (havoc 20%); recent form 85+ in 70% of games, no major injuries impacting line.
Player Prop #3: Vanderbilt Defense / Prop Type = Under 24.5 Points Allowed / Line 24.5 / -105 / 60% / Commodores’ defensive success rate 44% at home, Missouri offensively tempered on road (scoring 20 or less in 3 of 5); turnover margin favors under.
⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Vanderbilt across spread, moneyline, and over, but divergent money distribution and line movement toward the number signal sharp play on Missouri, aligning with simulation’s tight projected margin. Mathematical edges favor fading the public where EV is positive, particularly on the spread. Overall game outlook points to moderate scoring driven by Vanderbilt’s controlled tempo and both defenses’ explosive play containment, though over holds value from Missouri’s quicker pace and red-zone efficiency.
🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Missouri +2.5 — highest probability edge from sharp alignment, RLM, and contextual road/home splits outweighing public hype on the favorite.
