Either way, the money side here is Los Angeles Chargers +3.5, and the price reflects what the books think of that lean.

We don't issue picks. This page shows where the tickets and the dollars are landing so you can weigh that against your own read of the game.
We aggregate publicly reported sportsbook handle on a sub-hourly cadence and store every snapshot from the moment a line is posted, so a game's splits can be read as a series rather than a single reading. This page shows the most recent snapshot before kickoff.
The ticket count and the dollar count are measuring different bettors. A 16.0-point gap means the average wager on Denver Broncos -3.5 is smaller than the average wager on the other side — a lot of small bets one way, fewer and larger ones the other. That is the footprint sharper money usually leaves.
On NFL spreads the median gap between a side's share of tickets and its share of dollars is about 2 points, a quarter of games clear 9, and one in ten clears 22. So a gap in the teens is already a top-quarter event here, where the same number on a college board would be ordinary.
Not as a blanket rule, and we don't present it as one. NFL lines are priced knowing which side the public is coming for, so the lean is mostly in the number already. What we track is where the ticket count and the dollars disagree, which is a narrower and more specific thing than fading whoever is popular.
Sharp money is wagering from sophisticated, high-volume bettors. It shows up as a money percentage that trails the bet percentage on the popular side — many small tickets one way, fewer and larger ones the other. On an NFL spread the typical gap is only about 2 points and one game in ten clears 22, so a double-digit gap is the part worth noticing. See our methodology →
