A 10 to 20-point gap is the band where the data starts to mean something but doesn't yet scream.

Either way, the money side here is Chicago Bears -5.5, 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.
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.

The ticket count and the dollar count are measuring different bettors. A 22.0-point gap means the average wager on Minnesota Vikings +5.5 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.
The spread is the market NFL bettors trade. Moneyline percentages on a big favorite mostly restate the spread lean at a worse price, so we read the spread first and only let the total take over when its split is the more unusual one.
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 →
