BX 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2008 Since the league from last year as disappeared, I've started up another ESPN league for the rest of us who couldnt get into KKKs group. Here's the info. http://games.espn.go.com/pigskin/group?groupID=12292 Group: The Smart Marks Password: tsm This is a spread league, so I will post the spreads for each weeks matchup, as decided by ESPN. Hopefully our league won't slowly die as it did last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BX 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2008 I'll probably join, but wind up sucking in it as I've never really figured out the spread system.. It's simple, man. Let's say that the Giants were the favored team to win, and that the Skins were the underdog. The giants was favored by a spread of 4.5 What this means is simple. In order for the Giants to win the spread matchup, not only do they have to beat the Skins, they have to beat them by more then 4.5 points. Since the NFL doesn't have half-points, the actual score the Giants need is 5 points or more. The Redskins though, in order to win the spread matchup, don't even have to win. If they lost by less then 4.5 (5) points, then they win that matchup, even if they actually lost the game. It's pretty simple. On the ESPN screen, the favored team is always in the lefthand column, the underdog in the right, with the spread in the middle column. That being said, join immediately. I'm even trying to recruit Flyboy for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
