SharpstieriTulane Green WaveatRice Owls
Pass: no sharp signals and no better price at your books.
- No sharp signals: the line hasn't moved against the public, big bettors haven't shown up in the splits, and there's been no steam move.
- No better price: every price at your three books is worse than Pinnacle's fair price once the juice is counted. That's normal most of the time: it's the book's cut (the red % in the price table).
What would make it a bet: A book falling behind a Pinnacle move, or sharp money showing up on one team. Both usually come in short bursts, and you'll get an alert when they do.
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.
Quiet game: the line hasn't moved much and no sharp money shows up. None of your books beats Pinnacle's fair price once the juice is counted.
The read
- Pinnacle had Rice -2.5 on Sun, Nov 8. It's now -3, half a point toward Rice, onto the key number 3.
- 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 $1K traded on Kalshi), Tulane are +118 to +130 on the moneyline; Pinnacle has +130 and your best is +126.
- The total hasn't moved from 48.5.
Deep dive in Claude
Copies a ready-made request plus everything this page knows (every book's prices and moves, splits, injuries, weather, trends and the app's call). Paste it into the Claude app for a researched preview, a final-score prediction and the betting angle, fact-checked. Your Claude subscription covers it.
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.

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.
