Even if it's "the best" available, Steve, ... it can still be  relatively 
meaningless.  Show me a spread, predidction, or projection in a  few weeks that

some meaning -- some relevance to the  game that is about to be played.
 
I'm done with this thread.  Back to hoops for me.  Should be an  exciting
