    Is a push treated as a loss? (Didn't seem totally clear in the rules, so feel free to update them and delete my post if you'd like)

    Why wouldn't you just make every spread with a half point so there are no pushes? Move it up or down a half.

    I've read about 500 articles on the NFL in the last month, compared to zero for CFB. I simply have no clue about that sport. NFL is the sport I want to beat.

    When it comes to the contest, do I have start this week? Or will you just see who gets the longest streak going? Or maybe start next week for everybody? Sorry for messing things up.
