This shift has been tracked 15 times across major sportsbooks, signaling relentless sharp action on the OVER. Each instance flags sharp=OVER, indicating professional bettors are pounding this high total.
Why the Massive Total Jump?
West Ham, playing at home, boasts a potent attack led by recent goal surges from key forwards. Bournemouth's defense has crumbled on the road, conceding 2+ goals in 70% of away fixtures this season.
