Exchange buyers: 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, +145 means a $100 bet profits $145 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.

South Alabama vs Troy Prediction: One Price Stands Out

Two 4-5 teams. A 3-point spread. Only one price on the entire board pays a hair more than the market thinks it should. That gap is small, but finding gaps like it is the whole job. Here is how the Troy Trojans at South Alabama Jaguars sets up, and where the number leans.

Who Is Favored to Win Troy vs South Alabama?

South Alabama is the favorite. Both teams are 4-5 as of publication. This is a conference game at Hancock Whitney Stadium on Saturday, November 14 at 7:00 PM ET, streaming on ESPN+. They last met 406 days ago, and South Alabama lost. The per-game averages lean Jaguars. South Alabama gains 413.22 yards per game and allows 365.6. Troy gains 358.56 and allows 425.33. South Alabama also turns it over just 0.78 times per game, compared with 1.67 for Troy. PPA (predicted points added, an estimate of how many points each play is worth) shows South Alabama's offense at 0.16 to Troy's -0.01 over 9 games each.

On defense, though, lower is better, and Troy's 0.05 beats South Alabama's 0.23. Against the spread (whether a team beat the betting margin), Troy is 3-6 over 9 graded games and 2-3 as an underdog. South Alabama is 5-4 over 9, 2-2 at home. Both sides had 6 days of rest. Troy traveled 145 miles from home, and South Alabama traveled 239 miles from its last game in Lafayette. The forecast is 56 F, 5 mph wind from the north, 0% chance of rain.

Players to Watch

Jared Hollins has thrown for 170.7 yards, 1.3 touchdowns and 0.6 interceptions per game over 7 games for South Alabama. Over his last 5 he is at 200.6 passing yards and 26.2 rushing yards per game. Goose Crowder has averaged 166 yards, 1.3 touchdowns and 0.7 interceptions per game over 7 games for Troy, with 159.2 passing and 45.8 rushing yards per game over his last 5. The catch is that neither was the quarterback of record last game. Troy's was Tucker Kilcrease. South Alabama's was Bishop Davenport, a change from the game before. Watch who starts.

What Is the Troy vs South Alabama Spread?

The moneyline is a bet on who wins outright. Troy is +145 at theScore Bet, so $100 profits $145. South Alabama is -144 at ProphetX, where $100 profits $68.06 after the book's fee. The spread is a bet on the margin. Troy +3 at -106 (Courtside) wins if Troy wins or loses by 2 or fewer. South Alabama -3 at -106 (Bally Bet) needs a win by 4 or more.

A 3-point finish is a push, meaning your stake comes back. The total (combined points) is 55.5, with the Over -110 at Courtside and the Under -105 at Caesars. The total moved from 55.5 to 56.5 at 3 books within 5 minutes, so shop it. The public split shows 56% of BetMGM spread tickets on the Jaguars.

Where the Value Is

Remove the vig (the book's built-in fee) and the market reads South Alabama 58.7%, Troy 41.3%. Troy at +145 breaks even at 40.8%. Everything else is negative per $100 risked: South Alabama moneyline minus $1.38, Troy +3 minus $3.06, South Alabama -3 minus $2.60, Over minus $3.66, Under minus $3.29. Our rating also has it 59% to 41%, matching the market as context.

The Prediction

Troy's defense has been stingier per play, and Troy won the last meeting. We see Troy 27, South Alabama 24. That adds to 51, under the 55.5 total, but the Under's price is still negative, so we pass on it. That is the read on this number; the Desk posts a documented free play on days like this, and it lands right below.
