Utah vs Philadelphia market analysis Nov 1: The Setup
Asset: Philadelphia Flyers (home underdog) | Opening: $0.400 | Spread: PHI +1.5 (puck line) | Kalshi: 39/40c
This Utah vs Philadelphia market analysis Nov 1 opens with the Flyers as a clear home underdog — the moneyline gave them just 40% pre-game, despite playing at Xfinity Mobile Arena before 18,378 fans. Utah entered at 9-6-0 with 18 points, a team playing with confidence, while Philadelphia sat at 4-8-4 with 12 points, still searching for consistency. The puck line reflected that gap.
The Pattern: Favorite Collapse — Utah held a commanding lead through most of the second period, but the Flyers' game signal climbed steadily as Philadelphia scored twice in P2, and the trade went long on PHI as the Mammoth's deficit deepened and their rally window narrowed.
Going in: At $0.400, PHI needed to show scoring momentum early to justify a long; a Utah goal in the first five minutes would confirm the favorite's control and keep the Flyers off the entry list.
Who Decided It
- Philadelphia Flyers (5-8-4): Jamie Drysdale anchored the offense with three assists and a +5 rating across 21:26 of ice time; Travis Sanheim added two assists and a +4 while logging 23:28. Dan Vladar made 19 saves on 22 shots.
- Utah Mammoth (9-7-0): Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz each posted two assists, but Karel Vejmelka allowed five goals on 20 shots (.750 save percentage), and the Mammoth's late goals from Mikhail Sergachev and Logan Cooley came far too late to matter.
First Period: Volatile Baseline
Outlook check: The opening outlook called for early PHI momentum — instead, the first period delivered a seesaw of RSI extremes with the score locked 1-1 at the buzzer.
The period opened with PHI at $0.400. A Jamie Drysdale holding penalty at P1 14:45 sent RSI to 12.2 — deeply oversold — as Utah pressed on the power play. The game signal recovered to $0.394 by P1 13:09 as RSI climbed back through 50. Then at P1 7:11, Matvei Michkov snapped home a goal assisted by Noah Cates and Porter Martone, spiking PHI's game signal to $0.538 and RSI to 98.8. The lead lasted less than two minutes: Dmitri Simashev answered at P1 5:36 on assists from Vincent Trocheck and Logan Cooley, crashing the signal back to $0.392 and triggering a MACD bearish cross. A Porter Martone hooking penalty at P1 4:32 pushed PHI's game signal to its period low of $0.377 (RSI 22.1). The period ended 1-1, PHI at $0.408.
| Time | Play | Score | Game Signal | RSI | Kalshi PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P1 14:45 | Drysdale holding penalty | UTA 0, PHI 0 | $0.387 | 12.2 | 39/40c |
| P1 7:11 | Michkov goal (Cates, Martone) | UTA 0, PHI 1 | $0.538 | 98.8 | 41/42c |
| P1 5:36 | Simashev goal (Trocheck, Cooley) | UTA 1, PHI 1 | $0.392 | 24.0 | 40/41c |
| P1 4:32 | Martone hooking penalty | UTA 1, PHI 1 | $0.377 | 22.1 | 37/38c |
| P1 0:00 | End of P1 | UTA 1, PHI 1 | $0.408 | 54.0 | 41/42c |
Decision Point: Stay Out — No Qualifying Setup in P1
| Time | Score | Game Signal | RSI | MACD | Kalshi PHI bid/ask |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P1 5:36 | UTA 1, PHI 1 | $0.392 | 24.0 | Bearish cross | 40/41c |
Known at the time: Simashev's equalizer had just reset the game signal to $0.392. RSI dropped to 24.0 and MACD crossed bearish simultaneously. PHI had not yet demonstrated sustained scoring pressure, and the game was tied with over five minutes remaining in the period.
The decision: Stay out. The bearish MACD cross and oversold RSI at a tied score offered no directional edge — the signal needed more development before a long position was justified.
Outlook for the next quarter: A PHI goal early in P2 would shift the game signal meaningfully and set up a potential long entry if RSI confirmed momentum.
Second Period: Flyers Take Control
Outlook check: The P2 outlook called for a PHI goal to shift the signal — Travis Konecny delivered one at P2 18:54, and Noah Cates added another at P2 14:10, exactly the development needed.
Travis Konecny's backhand goal at P2 18:54 (assisted by Jamie Drysdale and Christian Dvorak) pushed PHI to $0.582 with RSI at 97.7. The game signal climbed steadily as Utah failed to respond. At P2 14:10, Noah Cates snapped home a goal on assists from Travis Sanheim and Drysdale, lifting PHI to $0.762 and RSI to 99.1 — the first trade entry. A four-penalty sequence at P2 11:17 (roughing and unsportsmanlike calls on both sides) kept the score frozen at 3-1. Andrew Peeke's interference penalty at P2 9:07 pushed PHI to $0.812 and RSI to 99.9 — the second entry. The period closed with PHI at $0.859, RSI 99.8, Kalshi 87/88c.
| Time | Play | Score | Game Signal | RSI | Kalshi PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P2 18:54 | Konecny goal (Drysdale, Dvorak) | UTA 1, PHI 2 | $0.582 | 97.7 | 60/61c |
| P2 14:10 | Cates goal (Sanheim, Drysdale) | UTA 1, PHI 3 | $0.762 | 99.1 | 78/79c |
| P2 9:07 | Peeke interference penalty | UTA 1, PHI 3 | $0.812 | 99.9 | 83/84c |
| P2 0:00 | End of P2 | UTA 1, PHI 3 | $0.859 | 99.8 | 87/88c |
Decision Point 1: Long PHI at P2 14:10 — Cates Goal Confirms Lead
| Time | Score | Game Signal | RSI | MACD | Kalshi PHI bid/ask |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P2 14:10 | UTA 1, PHI 3 | $0.762 | 99.1 | hist +1.08 | 78/79c |
Known at the time: Noah Cates had just scored to make it 3-1. PHI's game signal stood at $0.762, RSI at 99.1, and MACD histogram at +1.08. Utah had not scored since P1 5:36 — over 28 minutes of game time. The Flyers held a two-goal lead with two periods still to play.
The decision: Long PHI at $0.762. The Utah vs Philadelphia market analysis Nov 1 shows a Favorite Collapse setup: the pre-game favorite was down two goals, RSI confirmed PHI's momentum, and the Mammoth had shown no sustained offensive response.
Outlook for the next quarter: PHI needed to hold the 3-1 lead into P3. A Utah goal would compress the signal; a PHI goal early in P3 would accelerate the position.
Decision Point 2: Long PHI at P2 9:07 — Adding on Peeke Penalty
| Time | Score | Game Signal | RSI | MACD | Kalshi PHI bid/ask |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P2 9:07 | UTA 1, PHI 3 | $0.812 | 99.9 | hist -0.43 | 83/84c |
Known at the time: Andrew Peeke's interference call gave PHI a power play. The game signal had climbed to $0.812, RSI at 99.9. MACD histogram was slightly negative at -0.43, but the game signal trend and score context supported adding to the position.
The decision: Long PHI at $0.812, adding to the existing position. Utah's inability to score through nearly 31 minutes of game time reinforced the Favorite Collapse structure.
Third Period: Closing Out
Outlook check: The P2 outlook called for PHI to hold the lead — Christian Dvorak scored just 62 seconds into P3, and Oliver Bonk added a fifth goal at P3 14:25, extending the lead to four.
Christian Dvorak's snap shot at P3 18:58 (Konecny, Sanheim) pushed PHI to $0.956, RSI 100.0. Oliver Bonk's slap shot at P3 14:25 (Cam York, Sean Couturier) extended the lead to 5-1, game signal $0.994. Utah's late push — Mikhail Sergachev at P3 4:00 and Logan Cooley at P3 2:53 (both assisted by Nick Schmaltz and Clayton Keller) — dropped RSI to 6.4 but barely moved the game signal, which held above $0.985. Cole Knuble's wrist shot at P3 1:34 (Noel Acciari, Drysdale) sealed the 6-3 final. Both positions exited at P3 0:59 when Michael Carcone's shot was blocked by Nick Seeler, with PHI at $0.950 and RSI 69.8.
| Time | Play | Score | Game Signal | RSI | Kalshi PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P3 18:58 | Dvorak goal (Konecny, Sanheim) | UTA 1, PHI 4 | $0.956 | 100.0 | 96/97c |
| P3 14:25 | Bonk goal (York, Couturier) | UTA 1, PHI 5 | $0.994 | 99.3 | 97/98c |
| P3 4:00 | Sergachev goal (Schmaltz, Keller) | UTA 2, PHI 5 | $0.998 | 19.0 | – |
| P3 2:53 | Cooley goal (Schmaltz, Keller) | UTA 3, PHI 5 | $0.985 | 6.4 | 98/99c |
| P3 1:34 | Knuble goal (Acciari, Drysdale) | UTA 3, PHI 6 | $1.000 | 69.6 | – |
Decision Point: Exit Both Positions at P3 0:59
| Time | Score | Game Signal | RSI | MACD | Kalshi PHI bid/ask |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P3 0:59 | UTA 3, PHI 6 | $0.950 | 69.8 | hist +0.08 | – |
Known at the time: With under a minute remaining and PHI leading 6-3, Michael Carcone's shot was blocked by Nick Seeler. RSI had recovered to 69.8 from the late Utah goals. The game was effectively decided.
The decision: Exit both Long PHI positions. The game signal at $0.950 represented a clean close with the outcome no longer in doubt.

Favorite Collapse in This Game
This Utah vs Philadelphia market analysis Nov 1 illustrates the Favorite Collapse pattern clearly. The Favorite Collapse occurs when the pre-game favorite falls behind and the technical signals indicate the deficit will not be recovered — the trade goes with the fall by going long on the underdog. Here, Utah entered as the 60% pre-game favorite but allowed back-to-back PHI goals in P2 without response, and the game signal climbed from $0.582 to $0.859 across the period as the Mammoth's window closed. The full definition is on the [Patterns page](https://www.sportchartz.com/patterns/#favorite-collapse).
The Utah vs Philadelphia market analysis Nov 1 confirms that once PHI reached $0.762 with RSI at 99.1 and a two-goal lead, the Favorite Collapse structure was fully in place — Utah's late goals in P3 were cosmetic, not structural.
