AE 2010 - AE Spread Games Poll

[Woodson]

The elected vote choice for the FOURTH GAME for the AE10 season has been determined, the SPREAD GAMES are IN!!

However, the AE09 reigning champ, Clash Hendrix, suggests
a greater challenge with the inclusion of the game under/overs be included.

I would make one change though. For the Spread tipping, I would also include the Over/Under for each of the 5 chosen games of the week. If a tipster gets either the Spread or the Over/Under correct for a given game they score 1 point. But if they get both the Spread and Over/Under correct for the one game, they score 3 points. Makes it a little more dynamic.

So the Option Vote is simple.

Dynamic: Spread Plus Under/Overs: 1 point awarded for each of either correct prediction of the SPREAD or the Unders/Overs outcome OR 3 points awarded for both correct outcomes

Max points in one week = 15 pts

Straight Up: Team Spread: 1 point awarded for each correct game spread prediction.

Max points in one week = 5 pts.

Spread Games Poll concludes Fourth of July. In the event of a tie... 2 games will be deemed Dynamic and 3 will be straight up.

Voted Dynamic - mainly for the purpose of more points to gain - less ties.

Sorry for making what could be a very stupid question, but i'm just used to overs/unders. I thought the spread is the over/under amount??

Just to clarify.. in case someone else was thinking like you TGBB.

SPREAD means a handicap score number given to a team favourite to beat.

ie: Super Bowl XLIV Indianapolis were -6.5 pt favs meaning the SPREAD they had to cover was by 7 points or more whereas the underdogs, New Orleans could lose (not that it happened) and still beat the +6.5 point give.

So in summary, the SPREAD is more about the number of (handicap) points that the favourite has to BEAT/ Cover.

Unders & Overs are simply Unders & Overs.

Don't know what I was thinking there Woody. Was thinking overs/unders as either -6.5 or +6.5 even though every year I play (and lose) spread and total pts scored i.e overs/unders. I've even posted my tips on here!!!Sheesh!!!

Just a matter of your wording really. But you're on the right track. Just learn to say 'COVER' the spread (referring to fav) otherwise they (favs) 'failed to cover spread'.
