The purpose of a spread is to create a market for both sides of a wager, so that bookies can offer betting on sporting events that are not competitive. Since we\'re not wagering, and there\'s no sports book taking a commission on our predictive abilities, there\'s no purpose for a spread in this situation. Unless of course, the intent is to make this pick\'em league more annoying and frustrating.
I\'m just pointing out the obvious.
