i have a question:
when you look at your picks, what are the numbers in the columns named "Monday" and "Tuesday" ???
Seems to be the same number in both Mon/Tues within each row, different number for each game though.

i believe theyre the spreads for each day. sometimes they'll change. usually not a lot and usually not anything more than one point. then final i think is wednesday's, and the final, spread.

mmblz my man that is the spread. That is saying that the favorite is going to beat the underdog by that many points. For example the New England vs. Oakland game tonight the Pats are favored by 7 1/2 points. If you think the Pats are going to win by 8 or more points you pick the Pats. If you think the Pats are going to win by 7 or less or the Raiders are going to win you pick the Raiders. BTW if you picked the Raiders you just lost.

ok - i read about that in the rules, but I guess I just didn't quite notice we were using them... Hopefully my picks will hold up

And no, I didn't pick the Raiders, why would I do such a thing?

I got spanked the first week. Only 6 points so with two games left. I'm glad this went just for fun now.

ditto man....

I have another "dumb" question. What does "Off (0)" mean in the spread?
It's not the same as 0.0
Does it mean they can't predict?
Weirdest example:
Philly / San Fran. Mon: Off (0) Tues: 13.5 Weds: Off (0)
whereas
Seattle / Atlanta Mon: Off (0) Tues: 0.0 Weds: 1.0

Anyone??
The final spread for Philly / San Fran is "Off (0)" - still have no idea what that means.

no spread has come out yet. the main reason this happens is when there is an injury or some game changing event that noone is sure of yet. there not sure if mcnabb is going to play for the eagles yet because of his chest so i dont know if the line is out yet.

the latest they usually go without out a spread is friday then they finally release one
