It's kinda like figuring taxes, but just a bit more accurate isn't it?

I had no idea a week was 365 days.

You sir are correct! So start with fun fact #1:

Odds are always about money, not sport.

Point Spread 101:
A majority of bettors believe the Saints will cover.
The line is adjusted so that half of those bettors now think Atl will cover
The perfect line is when an equal number bet on each team.
Multiply that number by 2, take 10% of the total, and give it to the bookies

anyone remember how we did as the biggest underdogs in the regular season?
bad reminder- the spread wasn't a factor
