Hard to tell on this one. The Vikings seem to be in a free fall now.

Vikings 20
Redskins 26 (- 1.5 = 24.5)

i'm confused, are the picks straight up (meaning you simply pick the winner regardless of the handicap) or against the spread included?

[DemonGeminiX]

The final score that the bet is based on includes the handicap. The score for the game (for bet purposes) is the Redskins' 24.5 to the Vikings' 20, and the Redskins win the bet.

[deebakes]

uh oh, so the patriots have to win by 7.5 points against seattle

[DemonGeminiX]

9.5 points. They need to win by a touchdown and a field goal.

[deebakes]

even worse than i thought

[DemonGeminiX]

I'm not gonna say that it's gonna happen, but I will say this: Seattle's not as strong as they were 2 and 3 years ago. Lynch is gone and their defense isn't as dominant as they used to be. Brady's still on his revenge tour, so it's conceivable that the Pats could beat the shit out of the Seahawks.

i picked them without realizing the spread
