Exchange buyers before kickoff: which side buyers took (Kalshi, Polymarket (international), 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 (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.

📘 New to betting? Two-minute translation. A moneyline bet is picking who wins, nothing else. In this game, +104 means a $100 bet profits $104 if it wins. 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.

Players to Watch
Miami (OH) quarterback David McComb has 1,121 passing yards, 7 touchdowns and 1 interception over 4 games played of the team's 9, which works out to 280.3 yards per game. Ohio's Nick Poulos has 978 yards and 7 touchdowns over 6 games played, or 163 passing yards per game. Over his last 5 he has averaged 160.4 passing yards and 35.6 rushing yards.
Poulos was Ohio's quarterback of record last game. For Miami (OH), the quarterback of record last game was Caleb Heavner, not McComb. We have no injury report to explain that, so we will not guess. Know that the big passing numbers belong to a player who was not under center of record last time out.
Who Is Favored to Win Ohio vs Miami (OH)? Odds and Spread
The moneyline is a bet on who wins outright. Strip out the vig (the book's built-in fee) and the market reads it about 51.6% Ohio to 48.4% Miami (OH). The Ohio vs Miami (OH) spread is a bet on the margin. Ohio -1.5 at +102 needs Ohio to win by 2 or more, so a 1-point win loses. Miami (OH) +1.5 at -106 cashes if the RedHawks win or lose by 1.
The total is a bet on combined points: Over 47.5 at +100, Under at -102. The consensus total opened at 48 and sits at 46.5 after 13 moves, so shop for the number you want. The forecast is calm: 51 degrees, a 1 mph wind, 1% chance of rain. Every best price here sits at Novig. Line shopping is the whole game.
