     This one simply consists on picking who wins each game during NFL season, right? but this one suits me heh. 🙂

    with a little twist ro..the winner is awarded on a point spread system. each game/each week, will be given 1 team as a Favorite to win. The other team becomes the Underdog..Right now the Steelers are -7(minus 7)Browns get 7 points(+7) these "so called spreads" will be calculated into the Final score. If the Browns do lose by 7? It's called a "push". The House wins, but in this pick'em nobody wins cause we don't have a way of calling a tie..if Browns lose by 6 points or less?, +7= Browns win by +1..Your picking winners of games against the spread..The close matchups will show some EVEN but a lot we see -1 point...some -1.5 points...some -3 points or maybe -3.5points (yes half points are a killers)..Join us. it's as fun as a dentist visit😉.. Must Lock-in by Thursday kickoff,but can change other games up to Sunday kickoff times..here to help,just bark at us..

    You have to pick by the point spread.  If they're picked to win by 7 and only win by three, you lose.

    Simply put, Steelers (-7) vs Browns. I bet for the Browns.

    Steelers win by 8 or more > I lose

    Steelers win by 7 > Push > Everybody in our Pick'em league loses, independently of who they bet for.

    Steelers win by 6 or less, tie or lose > I win

    Am I right?

    Yes that is correct, but the numbers are moving around a little bit it looks like the bettors are leaning toward Cleveland also, when you place your bet you're locked in, if you think they might get lower yet bet early going up maybe wait.

    NFL WEEK 1 - the first line is the open, second is the concensus the other lines are individual sports books. As of 8/5/2018 Pittsburgh is a -6 favorite as reported by vegasinsider.com   http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/las-vegas/

    True that.

    The spread killed me this week. I missed on 4-5 games thanks to it.
