    Have someone explain that to you Sammy and then explain it to yourself in the third person for an example.
    In the NFL, with the exception of a 3 point spread.....Point spreads mean very little!! In fact the point spread only comes into play about 18% of the time!!​.......Meaning that the fav. will win by more than spread or the dog will win outright!!!!!

    Terp good info but some of us survive on half game/fg totals not sides/spreads. Admittedly I don't bet nfl all that much so you know better than I there.

    Dang. Nice insight and statistic. I always thought this was the case but didn't have numbers to back it up. I tried looking around for the source for this stat to learn more but couldn't find. Do you mind pointing me in the right direction?
