The teams are separated by 3 degrees in only 1 way as follows:

The spread is San Diego State by 5 and the computer agrees picking them to cover. Here is the pick using the format from the newsletter:
*San Diego State -5.0 over .. Louisiana-Lafayette 6.3 1.3 0.827 0.580
Enjoy!
Newsletter pick format:
The x denotes the home team. The * denotes the pick to win the game. The . is just a place holder. The number before "over" is the best line I've found typically from Maddux Sports. The team on the left is the pick against the spread. The first column after the second team is what the computer predicts the winning team will win by. The next column is the difference between the Vegas line and that prediction. The next column is the confidence of my pick to win. The last column is the confidence of the pick against the spread.
