What the model sees
Projected score Ohio 32 at Akron 19, on DraftKings' total of 50.5 (via ESPN). Our spread is Ohio −12.8 against the best book number on our side, Ohio −13.5 (FanDuel), 0.7 points toward Akron. We give Akron 20% to win; the market's moneyline, with its margin removed, says 20%.
Every market, side by side
| Market | Our chance | Market implies | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ohio to win | 80% | 80% | +0.4 pts |
| Akron to win | 20% | 20% | -0.4 pts |
| Akron +13.5 | 52% | 50% | +0.7 pts |
| Ohio −13.5 | 48% | 50% | -0.7 pts |
Win chances compare with the moneyline once the book's margin is removed. Spread sides are priced near even by the books, so they read against 50%. A gap is what our number says, not a recommendation, and our margin model has not beaten closing lines this season. We use the market's total rather than our own.
Totals and moneylines
| Source | Total | ML away / home | Home win |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATO | market's | 20% | |
| Novig | 50.5 | −426 / +400 | 20% |
| Books (no-vig consensus) | 50.5 | no-vig | 20% |
Home win is the home team’s chance with the margin removed. Novig moneylines are its prices converted to American odds. Each book’s own total and moneyline are under Books.
What Novig charges
| Side | Price |
|---|---|
| Ohio to win | 81c |
| Akron to win | 20c |
| Akron +11.5 | 50c |
| Ohio −11.5 | 52c |
| Over 50.5 | 52c |
| Under 50.5 | 50c |
A price is what backing that side costs right now per $1 it pays, so 52c is a 52% implied chance before Novig's margin. Both sides of a market add to a little over 100c. Novig lines can sit a half point from the books'.
