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, +190 means a $100 bet profits $190 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.

Chargers vs Ravens Prediction: Winless, Yet Only 4.5 Points Back

The Los Angeles Chargers are 0-8 and 0-7-1 against the spread over eight graded games. Against the spread means a record of beating the scoring margin set by the books, and they have not beaten it once. Yet the market only asks the Baltimore Ravens to win by 5 or more, because Baltimore plays without Lamar Jackson. That gap between a struggling team and a short number is the puzzle of this Monday night at M&T Bank Stadium.

Can the Chargers Beat the Ravens?

As of publication the Chargers are 0-8, fourth in the AFC West and 6.5 games back with nine left. The Ravens are 4-5, fourth in the AFC North but only 2.5 back with eight left. It is a conference game, and the last meeting, 721 days ago, went to Baltimore. The per-game averages are stark.

Los Angeles gains 4.7 yards per play and allows 5.62, and it turns the ball over 2.38 times per game over eight games. Baltimore gives it away 1.22 times per game over nine. The Chargers also travel 2,323 miles and three time zones east on seven days of rest, while the Ravens have ten days and stay home. Our rating, an Elo model used only as context, has Baltimore at 70%, near the market's 67%.

Players to Watch

Derrick Henry has 689 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns over nine games, or 76.6 yards per game, though he is at 63 per game over his last five. Justin Herbert has 1,591 passing yards, 6 touchdowns and 11 interceptions over eight games, which is 198.9 yards and 1.4 interceptions per game. He has added 28.4 rushing yards per game over his last five. With Joe Fagnano as Baltimore's quarterback of record last game, Henry carries the offense.

Who Is Favored to Win Chargers vs Ravens?

Baltimore. The moneyline (a bet on who wins outright) has the Ravens at -200 at ProphetX, where $100 profits $49.00 after the book's fee. Remove the vig (the book's built-in cut) and the market reads about 67% Ravens, 33% Chargers. The half point means no push (a tie that refunds the bet). Some books moved the Chargers from +4.5 to +4, and the total has bounced between 37.5 and 38.5. Prices differ by book, so shop.

Where the Value Is

Break-even is the win rate a price needs to avoid losing long term. Expected value is the average result per $100 risked. Chargers +194 needs 34% against 33.1%: minus $2.64. The one plus number is Ravens -4.5 at +104. The matchup agrees: a turnover-prone offense, a long trip east, and Henry facing a defense allowing 122 rushing yards per game.

Who Is Out for the Ravens and Chargers?

Baltimore has Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley and Adam Randall on injured reserve, with Jaylinn Hawkins and Adisa Isaac questionable. Los Angeles has Trey Pipkins III and David Njoku on injured reserve, and neither will play. Deane Leonard, Keaton Mitchell, Ladd McConkey, Branson Taylor and Brenen Thompson are questionable, which means uncertain. Check final inactives before Monday's kickoff.

The Pick

It needs a Baltimore win by 5 or more, breaks even at 49%, and is the only price here the market's own math rates above water. The public split leans Baltimore too (57% of DraftKings spread tickets, 86% of Circa money), but that is information, not a reason. At a worse price the edge disappears.

The Prediction

Expect a grind in 44-degree air with a 3 mph wind and no rain forecast. Henry leans on a defense allowing 5.62 yards per play, and the Chargers' 2.38 turnovers per game hand Baltimore extra chances. Our LA Chargers vs Baltimore prediction: Ravens 22, Chargers 16. That adds to 38, just under 38.5, and a six-point margin clears 4.5. Watch Monday at 8:15 PM ET on ESPN.
