What the data says

Detroit Lions at Miami Dolphins is one of the strongest sharp-money signals on this week's NFL slate. On the totals market, 57.0% of bets are on Under 50.5 but only 21.0% of the dollars — a 36.0-point gap between bet count and money share that ranks among the largest divergences in the slate.

That gap is the cleanest sharp-money tell we have. When the bet count and dollar share point in different directions, the dollars are coming from fewer, larger checks — the kind of bets that distinguish high-volume, professional action from the public crowd. Books rarely give back this much line value on a casual mistake; the price you're seeing is what the market thinks of the divergence in real time.

None of this is a pick. It's where the money is landing — you decide what to do with it. See how we calculate splits →.

Frequently asked questions

Who should I bet in Detroit Lions vs. Miami Dolphins?

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.

Where does this NFL public betting data come from and how often does it update?

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.

What does it mean that Under 50.5 has 57.0% of bets but 21.0% of the money?

The ticket count and the dollar count are measuring different bettors. A 36.0-point gap means the average wager on Under 50.5 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.

How big does a bet/money gap have to be to matter in the NFL?

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.

Where can I bet Detroit Lions vs. Miami Dolphins?

Any licensed sportsbook in your state offers NFL markets. We don't recommend specific books — please read our responsible gambling resources before wagering.

What is sharp money?

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 →
