. 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.
Polymarket (international) is not open to US bettors.

Dylan Lonergan (RUTG)74/127, 1,066 YDS, 10 TD, 6 INT (6 GP)
Anthony Colandrea (NEB)193/306, 2,109 YDS, 16 TD, 7 INT (9 GP)The betting market makes the Nebraska Cornhuskers an 87% favorite at SHI Stadium. Our own rating, an Elo model built on past results, says only 64%. That gap is the tension in Saturday's Nebraska vs Rutgers game, and the spread has moved between 14 and 15.5 points trying to settle it. The Rutgers Scarlet Knights host at 12:30 PM ET on BTN. The forecast is 45 degrees, a 15 mph northwest wind and no rain.
Nebraska is 5-4 and sits 14th of 18 in the Big Ten Conference. Rutgers is 2-7. This is a conference game. The yardage explains the lopsided price. Over nine games Nebraska averages 425 total yards per game and allows 282.44 per game. Rutgers averages 363.11 per game and allows 412.11, including 186.56 rushing yards per game. Nebraska runs for 181.67 per game. Against the spread (ATS, meaning whether a team beat the betting margin), Nebraska is 6-3 in nine graded games, 2-1 on the road.
Rutgers is 4-5 in nine, 3-2 at home. Nebraska games went over the total 3 times in 9. Rutgers games did it 6 times in 9. PPA (predicted points added per play, roughly how many points each snap is worth) agrees: over nine games Nebraska's offense sits at 0.2 and its defense allows 0, while Rutgers is 0.08 on offense and allows 0.25. Nebraska has 7 days of rest on game two of a road trip after 726 miles from Champaign. Rutgers has 6 days after 790 miles from Madison.
Anthony Colandrea runs Nebraska: 193 of 306 for 2,109 yards, 16 touchdowns and 7 interceptions over nine games, or 234.3 yards and 1.8 touchdowns per game. Over his last five he averages 241 passing and 48 rushing yards per game. Dylan Lonergan leads Rutgers with 1,066 yards, 10 touchdowns and 6 interceptions over six of nine games, which is 177.7 yards and 1.7 touchdowns per game. He averages 213.2 passing yards per game over his last five. Note that AJ Surace was Rutgers' quarterback of record last game. A Nov 11 headline also reads: "Sources: Rutgers star KJ Duff out for season after ankle surgery."
The moneyline is a bet on who wins. Nebraska is -600 at ProphetX: risk $100 to profit $16.33 after the fee, and you need to win 86% of the time to break even. Strip out the vig (the book's built-in cut) and the market reads 86.5% to 13.5%. The spread is a bet on the margin. It profits $100 per $100 and breaks even at 50%.
The total, combined points, is 51.5: Over -106 breaks even at 51.5%, Under +100 at 50%. One line move took Nebraska from -14.5 to -15.5 at 10 books. Shop for -14.5. The public split at DraftKings is 98% of tickets and 97% of money on Nebraska. On Kalshi, 58% of moneyline money is on Rutgers (545 trades, $6.1k). ProphetX shows 77% on Nebraska (26 trades, $1.6k), but that trading is light.
Expected value is your average result per $100 if you could make the same bet many times. Two Nebraska tickets grade positive. These are separate bets: one pays on a win, the other only on a 15-point margin. We prefer the spread, because risking $100 to profit $16.33 leaves little room for error. The matchup backs the margin, since Nebraska allows 282.44 yards per game and Rutgers allows 412.11. Our 64% rating is context only, a reminder this edge is thin.
This is Wise Guy Desk analysis, not an official play. Our math covers -14.5 at +100 only. At -15.5, a 15-point win loses, so that is a worse bet.
Nebraska 31, Rutgers 13. That 18-point margin covers -14.5, and it adds up to 44 points, under the 51.5 total. Nebraska's ground game against a defense allowing 186.56 rushing yards per game, with a 15 mph wind, points to a long, steady afternoon for the Cornhuskers. That is the read on this number; the Desk posts a documented free play on days like this, and it lands right below.
Nebraska is the market favorite at -600 (best price at ProphetX) on the moneyline, with Rutgers at +567. Lines move all day, so check the odds table on this page for the current best number at every book.

The market's own cover number clears the break-even on Nebraska -14.5 at even money, so we lay the points with the Cornhuskers at Novig, with a thin edge and the best number in hand. The full read, including a projected final score, is in The Prediction section above.
The total is 51.5, with the over priced at -106 at Novig and the under at +100 at Novig. A total is a bet on the combined score of both teams, over or under that number, no matter who wins.
Yes. This is a free Wise Guy Desk breakdown, our analysis, not Ross's official plays. Ross's documented plays are bet with real money and graded win or loss on the members board.
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.
