          Assuming you are seriously asking...

          "Take Denver at -3.5 over St Louis"

          Means that in order for him to win his wager, Denver must beat St. Lous by more than 3.5 points. If Denver wins by 3, he won't cover.

          "San Fran vs Arizona you can take the over at 42.5"

          Means that you can bet that the combined score of that game will be higher than 42.5 points.

                      Thank you very much.

                      I've worked for a book, so that helps with my understanding a little.

                          Sweet, I used to run some bets myself for a couple years.

                              Ok, I understand it's just like betting sites they always have someone to win?

                              Say Greenbay vs TampaBay They have greenbay +3.5

                              So that means they must win by 3.5? If not you lose the bet?

                                      No.

                                      It means that GB gets 3.5 gimme points.

                                      Say in that game that the final score is TB 21 GB 20.

                                      The books give GB 3.5 points. Which means that in the above scenario, anyone who bet for TB loses.

                                      edit: now that I re-read your post, I'm not sure who you mean when you say "they must win"

                                              If its straight up I would take Indy but I think it might be a close one by 3 or 4 points.

                                                  Being a non-Colts fan living in Indiana, I am pullin' for the little brother. Except, as the munchkin pointed out earlier, a Giants win is bad for Cowboys fans.

                                                  It should be a good game, no matter what. Not one I'd want to put cash on, I don't think.

                                                      Yeah it should be a good game for sure, I think I'm only going to watch the games that they show in HD on the directv package just to check it out. I already picked up some pizzas and drinks and I'm ready to watch it on my projector and just be happy that they're playing games again. I'm a Raiders fan anyway and always will be!

                                                          Is my memory failing, or did I just hear that you all picked up Jeff George? Christ, he's a wanker.

                                                          We only have cable, and I called last week to see if they had any kind of nfl package so we could watch who we want, but it was no dice.

                                                          I'll miss the afternoon games, as the munchkin has a game tomorrow himself. Like you, I'm just glad it is that time of year again.

                                                              We only have cable, and I called last week to see if they had any kind of nfl package so we could watch who we want, but it was no dice.

                                                              I'll miss the afternoon games, as the munchkin has a game tomorrow himself. Like you, I'm just glad it is that time of year again.
                                                              no way would they ever take that guy again. someone was i forgot who, i want to say seattle but i dont remember. i had to get the nfl package, i had all i could take of seeing every single cowboy game there is.

                                                                                      Also look at Ten -3 NYJ
                                                                                      Tenn is far from great, but the Jets may be worse than SF and NO.

                                                                                      CIN should also cover and win outright at KC (forget the Chief's impressive opening day record, thats the kind of stat that means nothing)

                                                                                      Look for DAL +2.5 to win outright at JAK too, Jak got their late season Ws vs. bad teams and DAL will have momentum with T.O. in the lineup and Bill looking to make this the year of the 'Boys.

                                                                                      MIN +5.5 @ Was. Was is not very good and won't score much, even against the Vikings. Was may win, but a FG at best.

                                                                                      CHI is a good bet as GB ... well, now that I think about it, they may just be the worst team in football. Only problem is CHI doesn't score much, which means if GB can manage 10 pts, they may cover.

                                                                                      Note: These predictions should not be used as advice for making any cash wagers.

                                                                                          It means that GB gets 3.5 gimme points.

                                                                                          Say in that game that the final score is TB 21 GB 20.

                                                                                          The books give GB 3.5 points. Which means that in the above scenario, anyone who bet for TB loses.

                                                                                          edit: now that I re-read your post, I'm not sure who you mean when you say "they must win"
                                                                                          I always figured that The bookie always picked who was selected to win that game. But how many leway points.

                                                                                          GB vs TB that the spread of +3.5 ment 7 points total.. Because Ive never heard of 1/2 a point in football
