Where are you getting the 49ers-Cards line? This is a pickem from everything I have read

"I need more cowbell!"

Polaris (8) [bts] Jaguars
[upset] 49ers,
[cover] Eagles, Saints, Panthers, Packers
[win] Seahawks

You got my number of picks correct, but I don't see my Broncos (cover) pick listed here. Just want to make sure you have it.

Used the Yahoo link in the OP. For the 9ers/Cards it was a pick-em so I ended up using the Yahoo Pick-em odds which had the Cards favored by 3. This is just to identify a "favorite" since folks around here tend to pick a winner when the odds are "pickem" and I just got tired of having to state the game is even, thus no underdog. No money passes hands so I just made a command decision.

The following link shows Cards (-3) as of 1:07 p.m. PDT

Caught it. As I stated in the OP, it would help me a bunch if folks would use the format you see in the posts. Otherwise I have to read a line by line and then convert them over to the four categories as identified in the OP. Others do the same as you, so I just convert them to my lingo, which is underdogs can only be [bts] and [upset] while favored are [cover] and [win].

Since my good friend Pithy has a saying about getting folks to do the way you want them to do things (herding cats), I just try to get it right. Eyesight is not the best, so glad you keep me on my toes.
