Question...

[Kelly]

Where is a good place to find football odds? I'm talking straight up, plain as day odds. I looked at them on MSN and had no clue who was picked to win- to confusing for me. Anyone????

I still don't get it. Explain the -/+ stuff...

Guess no one knows... I really am lost.

Last week it had the Bucs as like +37.5 and the Falcons at like -.3 or somethin like that. If it is exactly how it looks then they were dead wrong. :thinking: :???:

Dallas at Atlanta, Saturday, December 16 -- 8:00 PM ETSportsInteraction.comPinnacleSports.comSportsboo k.comBodog.comOpenCurrentCurrentCurrentCurrent43.0 O/U
+3.043.5 O/U
+3.543.5 O/U
+3.043.5 O/U
+3.543.5 O/U
+3.5


The top line 43 O/U is the over under. The bet is for the total points of the game. You are betting that Atlanta's and Dallas' score combined will be over 43, or under...

The +3 means is the points spread. It means that Dallas is favored to win by 3 points. That is the spread. If they win by 2, then they don't cover, and your bet on Dallas won't win... basically...

Ah, gotcha! Thanks a lot!

(Must spread rep before giving to hemi again :( )

[Kelly]

And this site has the Falcons to win by 3 right?

That sight is blocked here... But I looked where I could and I can't find the Faclons favored anywhere. Usually it only varies by 1/2 a point or so. That can change on a daily basis, but on any given day they should be pretty close...

[Kelly]

Well this is basically what it said...

12/16 20:00 ET Dallas XX -3.5
Atlanta XX 43.5

So to me it looks like Dallas is picked to lose by 3 points. :dunno:
I believe you though...

No sir... I just watch it. :)
