. 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 US lists moneyline for this game. No trade split yet for these markets (none captured, or too few to show), so they show prices only. Polymarket US is a separate venue from Polymarket (international) and is never added into its numbers.

Wyoming Cowboys2nd in the Mountain West ConferenceUTEP Miners9th in the Mountain West Conference
EJ Colson Jr. (UTEP)66/99, 687 YDS, 7 TD, 5 INT (7 GP)
Tyler Hughes (WYO)113/181, 1,238 YDS, 6 TD, 7 INT (9 GP)The total in this game dropped a full point, from 40.5 to 39.5, at three books within five minutes. Both teams have finished under the posted total in six of their nine games this season. So the real fight in UTEP vs Wyoming is whether these two offenses can find 40 points between them. The Wyoming Cowboys visit the UTEP Miners at the Sun Bowl on Saturday, November 14, at 10:00 PM ET on FS1.
Wyoming is the favorite. As of publication the Cowboys are 6-3 and sit 2nd of 10 in the Mountain West Conference. UTEP is 1-8 and sits 9th of 10. This is a conference game. Against the spread (ATS, meaning whether a team beat the betting margin, not just the other team), Wyoming is 5-4 over nine graded games but only 2-3 on the road and 1-2 as a favorite. Both teams are 3-6 on over-unders across nine games.
On average Wyoming gains 345 total yards and 203.89 rushing yards per game. UTEP averages 281.11 total yards per game and allows 179.56 rushing yards per game. Both teams have six days of rest. Wyoming traveled 582 miles from Las Vegas and crossed one time zone east. The forecast calls for 59 degrees, a 13 mph west wind and a 4% chance of rain, at about 1,137 meters of altitude.
Tyler Hughes drives Wyoming. Over nine games he averages 137.6 passing yards per game, with 0.7 touchdowns and 0.8 interceptions per game. Over his last five games he has averaged 116.4 passing yards and 103.4 rushing yards per game, so he is as much a runner as a passer.
For UTEP, EJ Colson Jr. averages 98.1 passing yards per game over seven games, with 1 touchdown and 0.7 interceptions per game. Over his last five games he has averaged 79.2 passing yards and 11 rushing yards per game. One wrinkle: Raymond Moore III was UTEP's quarterback of record last game, a change from the game before. Watch who takes the first snap for the Miners.
The moneyline is a straight bet on who wins. Wyoming is -292 at Polymarket, so a $100 bet profits $31.91 after the book's fee. Take out the vig (the fee built into every price) and the market reads this about 74.5% Wyoming, 25.5% UTEP. Our rating, an Elo model built on past results, has it 78% to 22%. That is context only. The spread is a bet on the margin. Wyoming -7.5 at -105 at Circa wins only if the Cowboys win by 8 or more, and a 7-point win loses.
That spread moved from 8.5 to 7.5 at six books. The total is the combined score of both teams. Over 39.5 is -105 at Bally Bet. Every best price here sits at a different book, which is why shopping matters. The public split shows 77% of BetMGM spread tickets on the Cowboys. On Kalshi, 96% of the money traded on the moneyline is on Wyoming Cowboys, but trading is light and that share can swing.
Expected value is the average result of a bet if you could make it many times. Break-even is how often a bet has to win just to stop losing money. The edge is thin. The value comes from the plus price, so finding +102 is the whole play.
The price is the main reason, and the matchup agrees with it. Both teams are 3-6 on totals over nine games. Wyoming leans on the run at 203.89 rushing yards per game, and running plays keep the clock moving. UTEP's offense averages 281.11 total yards per game. A 13 mph wind does not help the passing game either. This is Wise Guy Desk analysis, not an official play.
Our Wyoming vs UTEP prediction has the Cowboys controlling the game on the ground while UTEP struggles to put drives together. Projected score: Wyoming 24, UTEP 13.
