I'm not picking these team but for the record does that mean that the reverse is true? Cinn +3, Denver + 8.5 etc.?
"Note: Remember that we're picking all four games from here on, with a choice of Favorite and/or Underdogs. May I suggest
that Shorty provide the morning line spreads he uses (with half points .5 to eliminate any pushes) for all of us to use."

I'm not sure about this spread business but the Bears won by 4 points... I thought I had figured out what constitutes a push but I guess I was wrong.... can someone explain this to me?

Bow down to your God Americans and tomtom (who's Canadian right?)... getting your butt whipped at your own sport by an Irishman, don't worry just like in fantasy football i'll suck out at the playoffs 😞

Thanks for doing all the work GB. Nobody blames you for making a few mistakes... and I was sincere about not really knowing what constitutes a push.

[b]"Wild Card Weekend":
Hous (at home) -3.0 vs Cinn
NO (at home) -10.5 vs Det
Pitt -8.5 vs Denv (at home)
NYG (at home) -3.5 vs ATL
Note: Shorty, these are from footballocks with half points added as necessary to avoid
pushes. If there's no objection, let's use these to give us a common set of spreads.
