. 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.

Jacurri Brown (RICE)40/83, 478 YDS, 3 TD, 2 INT (8 GP)
Trace Johnson (TULN)76/125, 818 YDS, 2 TD, 5 INT (5 GP)The Rice Owls run for 270.33 yards per game. The Tulane Green Wave allow 215.33 rushing yards per game. That collision sits at the center of Tulane vs Rice, and the market has made the 1-8 home team the favorite over the 4-5 visitor. When the worse record is laying points, we want to know why, and whether the price is fair.
Rice is favored. Tulane is 4-5 and Rice is 1-8 as of this writing, with Rice listed 14th of 14 in the American Conference. This is a conference game at First Community Stadium, kicking off Saturday, November 14 at 2:00 PM ET on ESPN+. The last meeting was 756 days ago, and Rice lost it. Both teams get 6 days of rest and no time-zone change. Tulane travels 317 miles. Rice comes home after a 260-mile trip from Denton.
The forecast is 64 degrees, a 10 mph east wind and a 2% chance of rain. The styles are stark. Per game, Rice throws for just 93.22 net yards and runs for 270.33, while Tulane averages 193.22 passing and 139.56 rushing. Tulane allows 437.44 total yards per game, Rice 395.89. Against the spread (whether a team beats the betting margin), Tulane is 3-6 over 9 graded games and 3-3 as an underdog. Rice is 4-5 over 9 and 3-1 at home.
Tulane's Trace Johnson, the quarterback of record last game, has played 5 of 9 games and averages 15.2 completions on 25 attempts for 163.6 yards per game, with 0.4 touchdowns and 1 interception per game. That turnover rate is the risk in his profile. Rice's Jacurri Brown has played 8 of 9 games and averages 59.8 passing yards per game. Over his last 5 games he has averaged 79.2 passing yards and 85.6 rushing yards. One wrinkle: Rice's quarterback of record last game was Gael Ochoa, and we have no stats for him, so who takes the snaps is worth watching.
Start with the moneyline, a bet on who wins outright. Rice is the favorite at -130 (best at theScore Bet): a $100 bet profits $76.92, and it needs to win 56.5% of the time to break even. The spread is a handicap. A 3-point Rice win beats Tulane backers. Neither the spread nor the total has moved since the open.
Strip out the vig (the book's built-in cut) and the moneyline reads about 55.3% Rice, 44.7% Tulane. The public split shows 60% of BetMGM moneyline tickets on Tulane. Exchange buyers lean two ways: 55% of Kalshi moneyline money is on Tulane (113 trades, $2.1k), and 64% of ProphetX spread money is on Rice (26 trades, $888). That is light trading, and those shares can swing.
Expected value is your average result per bet if you placed it many times. Our rating, an Elo model used as context only, gives Tulane 60%. PPA (predicted points added, roughly how much each play moves a team's expected score) shows Tulane's defense allowing 0.16 per play against Rice's 0.18 over 9 games each.
It carries the lowest break-even on the board at 44.1%. Shop hard. A shorter price chips away at a small edge.
Rice will lean on the ground, and Tulane has to absorb it without giving the ball away. We see Tulane winning a close one, 24-21. That adds to 45 points, under the 48.5 total, but both sides of the total show negative expectation, so we pass there. That is our read on Tulane vs Rice, and the Desk's documented free play for today sits right below if you want the next step.
