Wild Card Weekend #6 Titans at #3 Patriots (spread: ) #6 Vikings at #3 Saints (spread: ) #5 Bills at Texans (spread: ) #5 Seahawks at #4 Eagles (spread: ) Here are the match ups. No sure who is playing Sat or Sun. Doesn't really matter. TB or Freak, I need clarification on the "you pick the spread" part of this pool. Help me understand how this works and I'll edit or outright change my picks! Thanks guys.

What I understand is, if you think the Titans are going to win you then also figure by how much. So if you think they are going to win by 3, you pick 2 or 3 for the spread. of they win by 1 point you lose the pick. if they win by 2 or more you win the pick.

If you think the Titans are going to win or cover the points, just Bold Titans. When they kick the ball off you are winning 4.5 to zero. Whatever the final score is just add 4.5 points to the Titans score. TB: Can you award half of a point for a tie ? I don't want to tally, but I can look over the final outcomes and post. Hey, Freak had 4 wins, Disc had one win, etc.

I get it now. I will tally.
you can verify.
If you pick a tie, then you should be the only one to get the points. If the game ends in a tie, I would think you still would have to have picked the underdog to get points since the spread was not met.
If you are talking about the tie breaker points...then yes lets award .5 points.

If you pick a tie, everyone ties. Just give everyone a point.

Every one of us would pick New Orleans. Giving Minnesota 8 points makes you think twice about it.
I'm giving the 8 points because its a sign to me that Vegas does not want you taking New Orleans/ they are tempting you with: you get a playoff team plus 8 points.
Brees will have a good game.

And even with the EIGHT points, no one has taken the Vikings so far!

Minnesota is a different team on the road.
There looks like some good football lined up, just in the first week alone !!!! Exciting.
If I could only stop thinking about our poor Chargers. Then its exciting.

So if the Texans bills game ends with the texas winning by three does that mean they beat the spread?
