Here's how it works. You pick 1 winner each week against the spread. (Spread taken from the MGM / Mirage sportsbook as reported on vegas.com.)
If you are correct in your pick, you move on to the next week. If not, you're out. Depending how many people start, we may get 2 or 3 runs each season.
Good luck all.
For those unfamiliar with point spreads. A positive number next to the team means that they are the underdog, they are getting however many points for the purpose of the bet. So in this case, if Pittsburgh beats Tennessee by less than 6 points, people who bet on Tennessee would win.
Also, any game that is a push, (the difference matches the point spread exactly), will be considered a win for this pool.
