My program uses the spread itself as a variable --- I&#39;m not trying to predict the spread myself but instead trying to find when and how the spread has been historically imperfect.<br /><br />Anyways, I could go on for hours, but if you&#39;d like to chat, you can e-mail me at askew.cameron@gmail.com.<br /><br />Best of luck!<br />CameronCameron Askewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12548274421272715080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580227844881123874.post-70345987047944329792011-12-19T11:14:27.629-06:002011-12-19T11:14:27.629-06:00This is now starting to become embarrassing.Jaimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16907581331686653661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580227844881123874.post-19766053069715335972011-12-17T23:07:29.762-06:002011-12-17T23:07:29.762-06:00I got Seahawks +3.5, Redskins +6.5, Texans -6.5, Buccaneers +7 (already lost) and Saints -7.<br /><br />Good luck!probablepicks.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08285913697327878399noreply@blogger.com
