I've had handicapping and betting lines explained to me I don't know how many times and I still don't get it.  But that's probably because I really don't give crap.

Seattle -7
St. Louis -3
New York (Giants)+3
Detroit +8.5
Tampa Bay +5.5

It's simple, Sassy. 

If odds are given:

Team A
Team B -8.5

Then Team B has to win  by nine or more for a bet on Team B to pay out.  Etc.

That makes me feel good. 

I usually only ask whenever the conversation turns to betting (like here) but don't care enough to retain the info because I don't gamble on sports.....at least nothing more than a wager with a friend on a particular game.  But there's no spread or anything involved.....just a straight up bet.
