. Circa is a sharp Las Vegas book. Its numbers are a reference for where the number sits, not a price you can take here.
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 (international) 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 the trades we read since we began reading the market 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.

Kansas Jayhawks16th in the Big 12 ConferenceWest Virginia Mountaineers10th in the Big 12 Conference
Michael Hawkins Jr. (WVU)101/175, 1,901 YDS, 12 TD, 2 INT (9 GP)
Isaiah Marshall (KU)126/228, 1,716 YDS, 11 TD, 7 INT (8 GP)This spread has moved just half a point, from West Virginia -3 at the open to -2.5. The money behind it tells two stories. At DraftKings, 53% of spread tickets back Kansas while 93% of the money leans West Virginia. So many small bets sit on one side and the bigger dollars sit on the other. That is the public split, not a recommendation. The Kansas Jayhawks visit the West Virginia Mountaineers at Milan Puskar Stadium in Week 11, Saturday, November 14 at 5:30 PM ET on ESPNU. Kansas vs West Virginia also features a defense that gives up a mountain of yards.
West Virginia is the favorite. As of publication, West Virginia is 5-4 and 10th of 16 in the Big 12. Kansas is 3-6 and 16th of 16. These teams last met 420 days ago, and West Virginia lost. Against the spread (ATS, meaning results measured against the betting line instead of plain wins), West Virginia is 5-3-1 over 9 graded games. Kansas is 3-6 over 9, including 1-4 as an underdog.
The loud number: West Virginia games are 8-1 to the over in 9 games. West Virginia averages 480.78 total yards per game but allows 501 per game, including 322.78 passing yards allowed per game. Kansas averages 441.44 yards per game and allows 343.78. Both teams have 6 days of rest, and each crossed 1 time zone east. The forecast is 44 degrees, wind 10 mph from the west, 10% chance of rain.
West Virginia's Michael Hawkins Jr. has played all 9 games, throwing for 1,901 yards, 12 touchdowns and 2 interceptions, which is 211.2 yards and 1.3 touchdowns per game. Over his last 5 games he has averaged 258.4 passing yards and 99.8 rushing yards per game. Kansas's Isaiah Marshall has played 8 of 9 games, averaging 214.5 passing yards and 1.4 touchdowns per game.
Over his last 5 games he has averaged 213.4 passing and 80.8 rushing yards per game. Marshall was the quarterback of record last game, a change from the game before. Per game, the passing yardage is close. The gap is interceptions: 0.2 per game for Hawkins over 9 games against 0.9 for Marshall over 8.
The moneyline is a bet on who wins outright. The spread handicaps the favorite. West Virginia -2.5 at -120 (Hard Rock Bet) wins only by 3 or more. The half point means no push (a tie that refunds your stake). Every price carries a built-in fee called the vig. Strip it out and the market reads West Virginia 57.3% to win, Kansas 42.7%. Our rating, an Elo model over stored results, has West Virginia at 65%, which we cite only as context.
Break-even is the win rate a price needs to come out even over time. Expected value is your average result per $100 risked over many bets. Nothing else on this board is positive. Kansas +130 needs 43.5% against a 42.7% read, minus $1.80. Kansas +2.5 at +108 needs 48.1% against a 47.6% cover read, minus $1.06. West Virginia -2.5 at -120 needs 54.5% against 52.4%, minus $3.88. The under is minus $0.23 and the over minus $2.60. This edge is pennies, so the book matters. A worse price eats it.
A $100 bet profits $75.19 if West Virginia wins and loses $100 if not. We are passing on -2.5. That spread is a separate bet decided by the margin, and at -120 it needs 54.5% against a market cover read of 52.4%. This is Desk analysis, not an official play.
Kansas commits 1.67 turnovers per game against West Virginia's 0.89, over 9 games each, and Hawkins has been running hard over his last 5 games. That tilts us toward the home team. But West Virginia's defense allows 501 yards per game, so Kansas will move the ball. We project West Virginia 35, Kansas 30. That adds to 65, under the 67.5 total, though we are not betting the total. That is the read on this number; the Desk posts a documented free play on days like this, and it lands right below.
West Virginia is the market favorite at -133 (best price at Novig) on the moneyline, with Kansas at +130. Lines move all day, so check the odds table on this page for the current best number at every book.
