Reading the College Football Spread Line
A point spread assigns one team a handicap and the other a cushion. Say Alabama is listed at -14 against Auburn: Alabama needs to win by 15 or more for a spread bet on the Tide to cash. Auburn at +14 covers if they lose by 13 or fewer, or win outright. That -14 / +14 pair is the spread, and the
juice — usually shown as -110 on both sides — is what the sportsbook charges to take the action. At south777, each college football matchup shows the opening spread alongside any line movement so you can see how sharps and public money have shifted the number since it posted.
