Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does "cover the spread" mean?
It means the team performs better than the betting line predicts. If Atlanta wins by 16+, they "covered." If they win by only 10, they didn’t cover (even though they won the game).
2. Why is Atlanta such a big favorite (-1000 moneyline)?
They have a much better record (19-12 vs 10-21), they’re at home, and Toronto is missing a key player (Brittney Sykes).
3. Can I watch for free?
