If you look at the score after the spread, you will see that the '!' does
not mean factorial.  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.
