I never really understood point spreads. Is there a website I can go to to understand more?

The professional odds makers in Vegas set a point spread where they think the nation will bet 50% for each team.  That's why spreads change when people bet heavily on one side or the other... they want a balance, as they make the most money when the total bet is split 50-50.

All it means is who the betting public thinks will win and by how much.

Never bet with your heart, only your brain.  Therefore, never ever bet on a USF game if you are a BULLS fan.  Just my thinking.

USF should cover the points.  ECU just beat them by 14, after getting blown out by WVU.

Unfortunately this brand of logic does not hold water.

I think it depends on what bulls team show up. If we get a uninspired team like we did vrs FAU it could be a closer game.
