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.

Mike Price (CHST)16.5 PPG (2 GP)
Noah Treadwell (SCST)12.5 PPG (2 GP)The total opened at 150.5 and has already slid to 148.5. That drift sits on a clash between a team that likes to run and a team that would rather walk the ball up the floor. The South Carolina State Bulldogs visit the Chicago State Cougars on Monday, November 9, 2026, at 7:00 PM ET at Jones Convocation Center. Whoever sets the speed here may decide more than who wins.
The market makes Chicago State the favorite (the team expected to win). South Carolina State is 2-0 and Chicago State is 1-1, but both teams are only two games into the season. That is far too early to call anything form. We have no standings place and no season series between these teams to report. Our rating, an Elo model built on past results, gives Chicago State 54% to win and South Carolina State 46%.
That is context, not a bet, and it points the same way as the market. The schedule matters more. South Carolina State is on game 2 of a road trip with 2 days of rest, traveled 568 miles from Spartanburg and crossed one time zone west. Chicago State has 3 days of rest and traveled 1,051 miles from San Antonio with no time-zone change.
Mike Price leads Chicago State in our feed at 8.3 per game over two games, a small sample. A Nov 8 headline noted his 21-point game. He played 27 minutes last game and 54 over the last 7 days. Will Lovings-Watts (30 minutes last game, 54 over 7 days) and Malik Olafioye (25, 45 over 7 days) carry the load with him.
Noah Treadwell leads South Carolina State at 6.3 per game over two games, also a small sample. He played 22 minutes last game, behind DeShaun Jackson Jr. (28) and Mitchell Taylor (26). Chicago State has played 2 games in the last 7 days. South Carolina State has played 1.
A spread is a handicap. The favorite must win by more than the number, and the underdog (the team expected to lose) can lose by less and still cash. The consensus spread opened at Chicago State -5.5 and sits at -4.5 after 7 moves. BetMGM moved first from -4.5 to -3.5 at 7:55 AM ET, and 4 more books followed within 10 minutes. The total (also called the over/under) is a bet on combined points.
It opened at 150.5 and sits at 148.5 after 8 moves. Books disagreed at the open: 11 books ranged from 147.5 at ESPN BET to 151.5 at BetRivers, a 4 point gap. That is exactly why you shop every book. For South Carolina State vs Chicago State odds, moneyline prices (straight bets on who wins) are not posted in our feed yet, so we cannot name a best price today.
The vig is the house's cut built into every price. Strip it out and you get the no-vig number, the market's implied chance with the cut removed. Expected value is what a bet earns or loses on average per $100 risked if you placed it many times. Without posted prices we cannot run those numbers honestly, so we will not fake them. The pace data is real, though.
A possession is one trip down the floor. South Carolina State averages 71 possessions and 106.6 points per 100 possessions over its last 10 stored games. Chicago State averages 64.6 possessions and 102.7 points per 100. Blend the two paces and both scoring rates and you land near 142 points, well under 148.5. That is a rough sketch that ignores defense, so we call the Under a matchup lean, not a measured edge.
Our lean is the Under 148.5, which wins if the teams combine for 148 points or fewer. No book has posted a price in our feed, so there is no best price or book to name yet. When prices land, take the highest total and the best price you can find. For an Under, every extra point is cushion.
We see a Chicago State vs South Carolina State prediction built on tempo. The home team has the extra day of rest and drags the game toward its slower pace. Chicago State 71, South Carolina State 69. That is 140 points, inside 148.5. That is our read on this number; the Desk posts a documented free play on days like this, and it sits right below.
A fast team meets a slow one in Chicago, and our matchup lean is the Under 148.5 once a fair price is posted.
Chicago State is the market favorite. The consensus spread opened at Chicago State -5.5 and sits at -4.5 after 7 moves, and BetMGM has shown -3.5. Our Elo rating, used only as context, gives Chicago State 54% to win and South Carolina State 46%.

Expected value first: the best price across the regulated US books we track versus the true fair price with the vig removed, then the matchup data (form, standings, injuries, key players). Line shopping for the best number is the edge most bettors leave on the table.
