Exchange buyers: which side buyers took (Kalshi, Polymarket, Novig, ProphetX)

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.

How to read these numbers

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.

How to read this: "chance to win per the betting market" comes from the actual odds with the sportsbook's built-in fee (the vig) stripped out, the market's honest opinion of the game.

📘 New to betting? Two-minute translation. A moneyline bet is picking who wins, nothing else. A plus number is the underdog; a minus number is the favorite. The spread is a head start: -7.5 must win by 8+, while +7.5 cashes by losing by 7 or fewer (or winning). The total is combined points by both teams, over or under the books' number. +EV means the price pays better than the market-implied fair odds (vig removed); consistently taking better prices raises your expected return over time.

Kansas City vs Jacksonville Prediction: An Early Read Before the Line

There is no number on this game yet, and that is exactly why it is worth a look now. When sportsbooks (the companies that take bets) post odds on the Kansas City Roos at the Jacksonville Dolphins, that first line is an educated guess on two teams with almost no current-season film. This conference game tips at Swisher Gymnasium on Monday, November 9, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET, streaming on ESPN+. One team walks in rested and close to home. We have no rest or travel data on the other, and we will not guess.

The Matchup

Both teams were 1-1 as of November 7. That is two games into the season, far too few to call anybody hot or cold, so we are not treating either record as form. Our data has no head-to-head or season-series numbers for Kansas City vs Jacksonville, so we will skip that rather than invent it. What we do have is schedule. Jacksonville gets three days of rest and is not on a back-to-back (games on consecutive days).

Its last game was in Gainesville, 62 miles away, with no time-zone change. Jacksonville did play two games in the last seven days, and three players carried real loads. Jamie Phillips Jr. and Hayden Wood each logged 32 minutes last game (50 and 53 minutes over seven days). Caleb Williams played 26 (51 over seven days). Three days off is a fair window to reset those legs.

Who Are the Players to Watch in Jacksonville vs Kansas City?

Phillips is Jacksonville's leader in our data at 14.0 over two games, or 7 per game. Two games is a small sample, so treat it as a name to watch, not a trend. For Kansas City, Lincoln Goodwin leads at 19.0 over one game, having appeared in only one of the team's two games. One game is an even smaller sample. Neither line drives our read.

Who Is Favored to Win Kansas City vs Jacksonville?

Nobody yet. No moneyline (a bet on who wins outright), no spread (the points margin a favorite must win by, or an underdog must stay within) and no total (a bet on whether combined points land over or under a set number) had posted at publication. When they do, a minus price on a team means it is favored and shows what you risk to win $100.

A plus price means underdog and shows what you win on $100 risked. Books often disagree, so check several for Kansas City vs Jacksonville odds. The better number improves every ticket you ever write. One tempo note for the total: over Jacksonville's last 10 games in our data, it averaged 65.2 possessions (trips down the floor) per game and 115.6 points per 100 possessions. That describes style, not form.

Where the Value Is

Value means a price that pays more than the outcome's real chance deserves. Books build in a cut called the vig. Strip it out and you get the no-vig number, the market-implied probability with the vig removed. Expected value is what a $100 bet would average, won or lost, over many repeats.

Without posted prices we cannot calculate either, so the job today is to set our own read and compare when the board opens. We lean Jacksonville: home floor, three days of rest and a 62-mile trip with no clock change. If the opening price on Jacksonville looks short against that read, we pass. A spread is a separate bet from the moneyline, and we would judge it only on its own break-even once it posts.

The Pick

Jacksonville, with no price posted yet. Once the line drops, compare at least a few books and take the best one. This is Wise Guy Desk analysis, not an official play.

The Prediction

At roughly 65 possessions and Jacksonville's efficiency in our data, the home side lands in the low 70s. We see Kansas City staying close early before Jacksonville's fresher rotation pulls ahead late. Projected final: Jacksonville 72, Kansas City 67, which adds up to 139 points.
