Hi J, What do you think of the Packers against the spread this week? They're 0-6 so far this year. Is this the week the pack covers or do packer loyalists get the short end of the stick again? Does anyone have any locks? If I see any when I go to the casino tomorrow I'll try to post some tomorrow night. So far I'm 6-2 on my money picks, the losses being the Jets against the raiders (jets -1.5; jets won by 1), and the rams against the 'niners. In the second week the little sheet of paper said niners by 4 so I took the rams +4. At home, when I looked at the ticket, it said, "Rams -1.5".... oops Say, do you think I'm lucky or is the public sometimes "off" in setting a spread? The casino is trying to guess exactly where they can get even money on both sides of the ball, when they set the spread... unless you believe conspiracy stories about "the mob" putting more money on one side then "throwing" the game through buying off/coercing certain players/referees. How about this. Are there any games from the past that stick out in your mind as having been "fixed," especially against the spread? (the favored team won but didn't beat, the spread - or a dubious penalty call resulted in the favorite barely beating the spread ). I'll throw one out for starters: the Rams/Steelers Super Bowl. FWIW Andy
