I'm not sure if I understand point spreads that well but does "Off" and "PK" just mean pick a winner no point spread since they are too close to tell?

reply to rockotman
"Off"?

reply to rockotman
Doesn't 'OFF' mean there is no betting on the game or the line has not opened yet due to so many unknowns about injured players?

reply to rockotman
Screw it im taking the eagles this week. Im having a hob moment. Can they possibly lose 8 in a row. Sure they can. But i have faith they wont lose by nine again. I will be hanging by my little toe on this one.

reply to drslash
Yep betting is off when off is on. Ide expect in a suicide poll it would mean even up.

reply to rockotman
This is all I could find online about "off".

"If a point spread is listed as "Off," this indicates that there is no official point spread for the game. This is most common when a FBS school plays a FCS or Division II school. When the line is "Off," you are simply picking which team will win the game."

Im pretty sure off means no bets can be placed on the team officially. Means lasvegas is afraid of losing there ass.

reply to rockotman
Yea "off" is simply pick a team.

"If a point spread is listed as "off," this indicates that there is no official point spread set for the game (e.g., when a team's star player is injured and it is unclear whether or not he will play). When the point spread is "off," you're simply picking which team will win the game."

That makes sense since Big Ben is hurt and the starting QB is up in the air right now. Big Ben might be cleared to play or Batch might start it's unknown.

{Edit}
Edited to clarify since is see a whole lot of misinformation in some of the above posts. OFF does not mean simply pick a winner.
{/Edit}

OFF means Vegas wasn't taking bets as of the OP. For the purposes of our poll, OFF means don't even try to pick it, because there is no established point spread.

PK indeed means pick a winner, straight up. The equivalent of the spread being "0".

In other words, don't pick the Pittsburgh/Baltimore game. It is a guaranteed loss.

NY Jets
(Yep, you heard it right)

reply to rockotman
Bears - I have a feeling they are going to lose but I want them to win.

reply to rockotman
It's down to two...

reply to rockotman
just got your message about the pick, My pick was early. I hope yellow means you accepted it. It was the eagles early on. Everyone but me expected the eagles to get blown out. Almost did to. But hung in there with a 9 point underdog.

reply to rockotman
Lol! Oh well...good luck guys.
(By the way, that's one of the ugliest wins I've ever seen by ANY team).

Grats TD!

thanks but i don't think i have won, the Eagles covered the spread last night.

reply to rockotman
They lost to the Cowboys.

they lost by 5, they were getting 9 points so they covered.
