I’m talking specifically about [something like this](http://statsandshots.com/freaking-out-rn/) where there are 20 games picked. Couldn’t you just pick 20 games in the first few weeks of the college football season when all of the really good teams play really crappy schools? Same goes for something like college basketball. What’s the catch?

The spread makes betting on the game a coin toss. To toss a coin 20 times and have it come up heads every time is about a million to one.
The good team has to cover the spread. Look at the Iowa State UL Monroe game on the link. See how it says Iowa State -18.5? That means they have to win by more than 18.5 points for you to win that game, or you could bet UL Monroe and if they lose by 18 or less or win they’d win.
If the chance of team wins is super high, you wont get much when betting right. The big gains come from betting on teams that shouldn’t win but eventually still do. These betting companies are always the reall winner. They make sure that the chance that you lose times the amount of money you lose, is always higher than the chance you win times the amount you win.
