You're picking against your own spread that you created. Make it make sense. Whats the logic?
 
Eastwood @ Lake (+16.5)
Genoa @ Fostoria (+31)
Oak Harbor @ Maumee (+7)
Otsego @ Rossford (+24.5)
Eastwood wins by 20 covering the spread
Genoa covers against Fostoria
Otsego covers against Rossford
Oak Harbor wins by 13 or more...
 
a little "cookin the books"....?
Just trying to make the spreads a little more realistic. I also attend games, look at Joe Eitel and Drew Pasteur, plus look for games on youtube throughout the week. My opinions change as I check this stuff out. Plus, as you mentioned, I like to play with the numbers a bit. Find a way to win, if you will. Because if not for finding ways to get a little enjoyment out of it, what good is a free pick 'em anyways? I'm old and retired, let me have my fun. ;)

Final Line: bonus games start next week and will only count towards standings if picked

Eastwood @ Lake (+16.5) Lake covers with a late td, to lose by just 14...(my original spread!!!!!)
Genoa @ Fostoria (+31). 42-6 ish.....
Oak Harbor @ Maumee (+7) -hopefully a good game....gotta go with Mike May and OH being healthy after weak pre-league schedule
Otsego @ Rossford (+24.5)- tough spread....going with Otsego bouncing back in a big way after the LC loss

OH is not healthy/full strength though
 
Eastwood @ Lake (+16.5) - We’ll see what kind of resolve the Flyers have this week after a disappointing loss to Delta. Something tells me they come out with a bit of an attitude and make this interesting. Give me the Eagles but in a good one. Eastwood 42-28
Genoa @ Fostoria (+31) - I think the Comets running game keeps rolling and Fostoria struggles to score. Genoa 42-6
Oak Harbor @ Maumee (+7) - First real challenge for the panthers, especially on defense. I think we get a good one at the Kaz as both offenses and defenses show up and make some plays, not sure Karchner and company pull it out but Maumee shows they’re not to be taken lightly regardless. Maumee 31-28
Otsego @ Rossford (+24.5) - Rossford’s offense is anemic, the Knights roll. Otsego 35-7

IMHO I think we should stick to one bonus game a week since this is an NBC pick 'em. Having half the games from outside of the NBC changes that. That or pick games that are close enough to just be straight pick ems.

Maumee @ Eastwood (-12)- maumee are showing they are not contenders, but pretenders...yet again....even as I believe the biggest NBC school
Fostoria @ Otsego (-27.5)- If otsego doesn't cover this week (like last week) they may not be in the "second" tier of the NBC, but the 3rd...
Lake @ Genoa (-11)- will lake right the ship after the eastwood beat down?
Rossford @ Oak Harbor (-37)- Ugly early

Bonus Games:
