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, +135 means a $100 bet profits $135 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.

Against the spread (results once the betting handicap is applied), the Broncos are 8-3 over 11 graded games and the Panthers 6-5 over 11.

What Is the Broncos vs Panthers Spread?
The Broncos vs Panthers odds start with the moneyline, a bet on who wins. Broncos -138 means a $100 bet profits $72.46. Panthers +135 means a $100 bet profits $135. The spread is a head start. Broncos -2.5 at -108 wins only if Denver wins by 3 or more, so a 2-point win loses.
Panthers +2.5 at +106 wins if Carolina wins or loses by 2 or fewer. The total is 44.5 combined points: Over at -104, Under at +100. Every best price sits at Novig, which is why we shop: the same bet pays different amounts at different books. The spread and total opened at these numbers and have not moved.
Injuries
The Broncos secondary is thin. Pat Surtain II (CB, ankle), Brandon Jones (S) and Kris Abrams-Draine are out. Riley Moss (CB, ribs) and Talanoa Hufanga (S, ankle) appear as both out and questionable across reports, and Pat Bryant is questionable. For the Panthers, Bobby Okereke (LB) and Will Lee III are out, Brady Christensen (G) is on injured reserve, and Damien Lewis (G) and Jaelan Phillips show as out in one report and questionable in another. Monroe Freeling (T) is doubtful. Both starting quarterbacks are active.
