Sorting this out, I believe the Rams were favored by 3.5 according to lottery and the post we responded to. They didn't cover. Miami was a 1.5 point favorite and covered.

From this point forward if the spread is an even number I will reduce it by .5 so there are no pushes.

I the past we have always used the spread found at this site.

oregonlottery.org

It has the following advantages:
1) These spreads come out on Tuesday.
2) They don't change leading up to game time.
3) They are already set at x.5 so there are no pushes.

If you/we try to use Vegas spreads then they are going to shift throughout the week right up until the game starts. Oregon Lottery spreads my not be the best but at least they are fair to everyone playing here.
