» How it works: Picking Against the Spread

Picking against the spread is where you try to determine which team will cover the spread; not necessarily which team will win.
While certain teams will win their game, they will not “cover the spread”, and thus if the team is selected it will count as a loss.
Example
- The home team is favored by 16.5 points (-16.5)
- The home team beats their opponent by 8 points (31 to 23), but, the home team's spread was (-16.5), so, when picking against the spread, the home team's score was 15.5 (31 minus 16.5), which is less than their opponent's score of 23.
- This means anyone who picked the home team to win by 16.5 points or more was incorrect, since they only won by 8 points
