Consensus lines (the median of U.S. sportsbooks and the Kalshi exchange) from our first look of the week to now. Each move is credited to its causes, in points: news we reported, a reaction to last week's games, weather, or a market move with no reported news. The close is efficient: a move that already happened is not a bet. Information, not betting advice.
