SharpstieriWashington HuskiesatMichigan State Spartans
Pass: only a small lean to Washington, not enough to bet.
- Pinnacle's spread moved 1.5 points their way.
- Why that's a pass: one small signal is often noise. A call needs a few signals agreeing (like a reverse line move plus big money at Circa).
- BetRivers has Washington moneyline -180, worth about +1.7% vs Pinnacle's fair price, but it's held back: Pinnacle's number is less reliable here (it's more than 4 days before kickoff, when Pinnacle takes small bets, and Pinnacle is charging a bigger cut than usual on this line, a sign of a thin market), so a +1.7% edge isn't enough without an exchange or Circa agreeing (Kalshi: +0.8%).
What would make it a bet: A better price that also passes the check above: worth +1.5% or more against Pinnacle, without the exchanges or the other books saying otherwise. You'll get an alert if that happens.
Based on the sharp signals and prices on this page, not a guarantee. Good bets still lose often; the goal is better numbers than the market over many bets. Every call is graded on the Track record.
Sharp signals point to Washington: the line moving 1.5 points their way. None of your books beats Pinnacle's fair price once the juice is counted.
The read
- Pinnacle had Washington -3.5 on Sun, Nov 8. It's now -5, 1.5 points toward Washington.
- 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 $0K traded on Kalshi), Michigan State are +155 to +167 on the moneyline; Pinnacle has +172 and your best is +170.
- The total hasn't moved from 43.

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.

Circa where pros bet
Not available for this game. Our splits provider only gets Circa's numbers for a few big games a week (this weekend, 2 of about 80 football games), so most games never show them. The DraftKings split plus the way Pinnacle's line moves is the read the app uses for the rest.
