Player Props FAQ

How to read sportsbook odds and compare them with PrizePicks.

What do O βˆ’106 and U βˆ’125 mean?

O means Over and U means Under. The prop line is the stat target. The number beside O or U is the sportsbook price in American odds.

If a quote literally reads U βˆ’25, double-check the sportsbook before using it. That is not a standard American odds display.

If the sportsbook leans Under, should I choose Less?

At the same line, a more expensive Under suggests the sportsbook leans that way. Treat it as one clue. The price includes the sportsbook’s margin, and PrizePicks entry payouts work differently.

Example: The sportsbook leans Under 24.5 points. If PrizePicks also lists 24.5, that supports looking at Less. But if PrizePicks lists 22.5, a player who scores 23 goes Under at the sportsbook and More on PrizePicks. Less would lose on PrizePicks.

What should I check before choosing More or Less?

  1. Make sure the player, game, stat, and period match.
  2. Compare the sportsbook line with the exact PrizePicks line.
  3. Check whether your projection supports the same side at the PrizePicks number. If the evidence is mixed, it’s fine to skip the prop.
