It does, instead, mean a much higher spread than normal for a football game pick (I do this as the professional pickers seem to get really conservative, and go no higher than 10 or so points). I figured that this would be easy to figure out. I apologize if my system is not dimwit- proof. Being a logical engineer, I am not normally analyzing a situation based on how an idiot might examine it. I will try to do better next time. Robert A. Ekblaw
