This week, we'll begin our 2 point conversion games. Games with a * symbol represent a 2 point conversion opportunity. I will select 4 or 5 of largest point spread differentials based on this website. If, later in the week the point spreads change due to an injury or something, and there's a game with a larger differential than one I chose, let me know and we'll include that game.

Remember, you only get the 2 points if you select the underdog team (team not favored) and they WIN THE GAME, not if they cover the spread. You can also select the the favored team and get one point if they win like normal. If you pick the wrong team, you get zero points. If you have any questions, let me know.
