The preceding statements are solely the opinion of GoBoilers and are, therefore, probably not based whatsoever on fact, research or more time in thought than what was required to physically type them. They're probably correct anyway, so you shouldn't argue too much, because otherwise he'll just blather on forever. On the internet Al Gore invented.

Lots of chalk!
There are no "Chalks" when picking with the point spreads. You did pick all "Favorites" though. Most people will pick more favorites than underdogs, and I think that may be why most people struggle when picking versus the spreads.

Re: CFB Point Spread Picks Week 1
Cincinnati +6.5
BYU +21.5
South Carolina +3.5
Virginia Tech +6.5
There are some underdogs for you. The point of spreads is to make it so that every team has a 50/50 chance of covering or not covering the spread. Therefore my four underdogs have just as much chance as anybodies four favorites would.
BYU +21.5
South Carolina +3.5
Virginia Tech +6.5

I am pretty sure that is not why there is a spread...."A point spread evens out the market towards an equal number of bettors on each side of the wager. This allows a bookmaker to make a market by accepting wagers on both sides of the spread. The bookmaker charges a commission and acts as the counterparty for each participant. As long as the size of wagers on each side is roughly equal, the bookmaker is unconcerned with the actual outcome; profits instead come from the commissions."
I know we have had this discussion before but good we do not deceive ourselves.Mr. Billybud can probably explain it better

Re: CFB Point Spread Picks Week 1
I think my source was off.
Virginia Tech
Spread +6.5
Payout +220
The article I read about betting stated that the spread was used to even an underdog with a better caliber team evening the odds of either side winning. The payout was to entice betters to bet one way or the other. If you guys have a good source of information or know where the discussion you guys had about this is I would appreciate the assistance and the knowledge.
