College football gambling spreads determine the likelihood of each team to win by adjusting the final score with a point spread or "line." A college football gambling spread is based upon a point system, where points are assigned to the favorite and the underdog. Gamblers who wager on their favorite team will "lay points," and those betting on the underdog will "take points." A bettor who lays points will begin the game minus the points shown for his team and those who take points will add the points shown for the underdog. The favorite team in a point spread is listed with a minus and the underdog with a plus.
