What the Point Spread Actually Means
A point spread is a margin set by oddsmakers to level the field between two college basketball teams. Say Duke is listed at -8.5 over NC State — backing Duke means they need to win by at least 9. Take NC State at +8.5 and they just need to stay within that margin or win outright. jjsport77 posts spreads for hundreds of
