I did this last year for most weeks and it seemed to generate some good discussion so I've decided to bring it back for this season. I know some people frowned upon the idea of creating fake point spreads for high school games, but I truly don't see the harm in it and think it gets people excited about games.

For those who aren't familiar with spreads, I will provide an example: Indiana at Purdue(-10). This is saying that Purdue would be favored by 10 points. It could also be written as Indiana(+10) at Purdue. If Purdue were to win by more than 10 points, they would "cover". If Indiana loses by less than 10 or wins outright, they would cover. If Purdue wins by exactly 10, it would be called a "push". "PK" is slang for "pick 'em, meaning there is no point spread and the teams are considered to have an equal chance of winning.

Feel free to let me know what you think about some of these spreads or drop your picks for some of the games. It's week 1 so bear with me, a lot of these teams I do not have much info on besides how they did last season. There are tons of great games this week so some are going to get left out. This is just for fun, any input is appreciated.

Hopefully I don't eat my words, but I would be will to bet my fictitious mortgage on Warsaw +18 tonight. I know the Wolves have defeated the Tigers by 20 and 19 points the last two seasons, but with this game being moved up to Week 1 and being in Warsaw tonight, I'm expecting the Tigers to keep it competitive. Really loved this series against Michigan City!

I'm hoping it's more like Harrison (-14).

Been going back and forth on who I think wins this game. I know both lost a lot of key pieces form last year, truthfully I think WL ends up winning due to a longer-running culture of success. I set the line at -2 for Harrison because the raiders seem to be the more popular choice in pick 'ems

You do know that means that CG is favored by 11, right?

Yes.

Too many points or not enough? I originally had it at -8 for CG and bumped it up a little

Too many.  Warren is good.  CG has to prove itself all over again.

That's fair. I don't think anyone is doubting Warren can win, we'll see if 11 was too much tonight. I try to keep the spreads interesting.

What would you create the spread at? Just curious

Honestly?  I wouldn't touch it.  Too many unknowns.
