These are exchange trades, not sportsbook bets. On an exchange every trade has a buyer and a seller, so this shows which side buyers paid for.
Kalshi, Polymarket and Novig publish every trade with the side the buyer took. ProphetX carries its trade fills the same way; a line with no captured fill shows dollars matched only. Trades is each side's share of trades since the market opened and Money is its share of the dollars buyers paid. Markets with fewer than 10 trades or under $500 traded are left out; markets under 30 trades or $5,000 are labelled Light trading, because a few buyers can move the percentages a long way.

Seven sportsbooks opened this game's total anywhere from 135.5 (Fanatics) to 141.5 (Bally Bet). That is a six-point disagreement on a matchup where each team has played just twice. When the books cannot agree, prices drift. The bettor who compares every book gets paid for that work. The Brown Bears visit the Lehigh Mountain Hawks at Stabler Arena, and one price on this board pays more than the market's own read says it should.
Tip-off is Sunday, November 8, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET at Stabler Arena, streaming on ESPN+. It is a cross-conference game. As of publication, Brown is 0-2 and Lehigh is 1-1. Both teams are only two games into the season, which is far too early to treat those records as form. Our data has no standings or head-to-head history for these teams, so we will not guess at any.
Lehigh's listed leader is Joshua Ingram at 6.8 per game in the category we track (13.5 total over two games), which is a small sample. Brown's leader is Jeremiah Jenkins at 6.5 per game (13.0 total over two games), also a small sample. Both have played both of their team's games, so the per-game figures compare fairly. Two games shows you who the coaches lean on early. It does not show a trend, and we are not building anything on it.
Lehigh is favored. Start with the moneyline, which is a bet on who wins outright. Lehigh is -167, best at Bally Bet. A minus number shows what you risk to win $100. Here a $100 bet profits $59.88. Brown is the underdog at +170, best at Polymarket. A plus number shows what $100 wins, so $100 profits $170.00. Books bake in a commission called the vig. Strip it out and the market reads Lehigh at 60.9% and Brown at 39.1%.
Next is the spread, a bet on the margin. It wins if Brown wins outright or loses by 3 or fewer, and it loses on a 4-point loss. A half point means no push (a tie that refunds your money). Lehigh -3.5 is -109 at ReBet and wins only by 4 or more.
The total is 141.5 combined points. Over is +100 at Bally Bet and Under is -115 at Caesars. These Brown vs Lehigh odds are the best we found across books. That is the whole point of shopping.
Two terms first. Break-even is how often a bet must win just to stay level. Expected value is the average result per bet if you placed it over and over. Brown +3.5 at +111 breaks even at 47.4%. The market's no-vig cover number for this line is 50%.
That is a separate bet that needs an outright win.
Its own break-even is 47.4%, and the market's no-vig cover read of 50% beats it. That makes this a price play, not just a hunch.
Our Lehigh vs Brown prediction is a tight home win: Lehigh 71, Brown 69. That adds to 140, which lands under 141.5, but we are not betting the total. A two-point Lehigh win still cashes Brown +3.5, since Brown only needs to lose by 3 or fewer. That is our read on this number.
