Once the game starts, classify live price moves by whether on-field evidence supports them. Questionable reactions are often where a betting opportunity may exist — not a “bad” label.
The live move is supported by repeatable on-field evidence. Do not assume the new price is wrong merely because it moved.
Long scoring drives
12+ play or 50+ yard touchdown drives with multiple conversions.
Consistent early-down efficiency
Repeated 2nd-and-short / 3rd-and-manageable without relying on penalties.
Multiple explosive-play opportunities
Chunk gains from different concepts, not one coverage bust.
Stable field-position advantage
Average start yard line stays favorable across several possessions.
The scoreboard changed, but the underlying event may not support the full market move. Inspect whether the market moved farther than the football evidence supports.
Defensive touchdowns
Points that do not require offensive drive construction.
Turnovers producing short fields
TD after starting inside the opponent 30.
Special-teams scores
Returns / blocked kicks that reset margin instantly.
Busted coverage / isolated explosives
One assignment error replayed by the market as a trend.
Unusually strong third-down conversion
Tiny early sample of conversions without early-down dominance.
