What is the result of Montana St. vs Eastern Washington?

If a significant number of traders believe one team is more likely to win the first half, the price for that outcome will rise, potentially moving further away from the initial sportsbook line. It's common to see discrepancies, especially as new information emerges or public sentiment shifts.

On Kalshi, this market is priced through a continuous order book where traders can buy and sell contracts representing their belief about the outcome of the first half.
