Now: numbers as published on ESPN at the time shown, a snapshot, not a live price. Opened: the first DraftKings line we recorded, Nov 12, 6:20 PM ET. Change: points for spreads and totals, cents for prices (−110 to −120 is −10¢).

No-vig % removes the book's margin from each market's prices, and hold is that margin: arithmetic on these numbers, not a forecast or a betting-split feed.
