  1. Just curious, your pick of the day yesterday was Weber State favor by 20.5pts but they won by 10pts...shouldn't your record change?

    1. On my pick of the day it just matters whether they win or lose, not whether they beat the spread I have given them. The difficulty comes in because I cannot pick any team more than once in a season.
