SharpstieriDenver BroncosatCarolina Panthers
- The Broncos won (they closed at -161 on the moneyline).
- Against the closing spread, the Broncos covered -3.
- 47 total points against a closing total of 44.5: the over hit.
Sharp signals point to the Panthers: Circa money. None of your books beats Pinnacle's fair price once the juice is counted.
The read before the start
- The spread hasn't moved. Pinnacle has had Broncos -3 since we started tracking it (Mon, Nov 2).
- At DraftKings (mostly everyday bettors), 71% of spread bets and 50% of the money are on the Broncos.
- At Circa, where pros bet, only 39% of bets but 60% of the money is on the Panthers: fewer, bigger bets.
- None of your books beats Pinnacle's fair price once the juice is counted, so there's nothing to grab right now. (A better number with heavy juice can still be a worse bet.)
- On the exchanges (reference only, about $4.5M traded on Kalshi), the Panthers are +134 to +151 on the moneyline; Pinnacle has +145 and your best is +145.
- The total went 43.5 → 44.5 (toward the over).
Line timeline
Every time Pinnacle changed its number, with the old number still at your books right then and how long it lasted. That window is when the best price is there to grab. Times are ET; prices are checked every 2–30 minutes, so the exact minute can be off a little.

How the line moved
Pinnacle is the sharp book: it takes the biggest bets and moves first. When your books trail it, that number is often worth grabbing.

Opened = the first price the app saved at that book (for games posted before Sep 17, the earliest it has). Best = the best value at your books. The % = how much better (+) or worse (−) each price is than Pinnacle's fair price, counting both the number and the juice (a better number with heavy juice can still be worse). Green is +1% or more: worth betting. Most prices are a little negative: that's the book's cut. Tap any price at your books to log a bet.

Money vs tickets · Spread
Few bets but lots of money on one side means big bettors are there. If the line moves against the side most people bet, that's reverse line movement. Pinnacle doesn't publish its splits; Circa is the sharp-book view when it posts a game.
