Just a quick refresher in picking games using the spread. For example, we'll take this weeks Wash/NO game. NO is favored by 7. While I happen to think Wash can win the game, even if they don't, but lose by less than 7, I still get it right.
So, I took the Eagles to 'cover' the 8.5 they're laying against Cleve. If they only win by a TD, I lose.
Over the course of a season, it's very difficult to pick near 60% against the spread.
