Problem Jumping Between Betting Spread vs. Winner

I am in a bowl pickem where you just pick the winner.......there are over a hundred players with top prize being a grand. I am getting killed.....I no longer know how to just pick a winner with no spread !

On the other hand, I won my college Fantasy pick.em against the spread going 170-116.

I check the spreadsheet on the bowl games and pick for the most part accordingly, I think I am 4-3.......there are six people who are 7-0. I know one of them, and they really don't follow college ball.

Anybody else have this issue ? I am already getting crap, " oh sure, the guy who goes to Vegas and bets football all the time is 68th place".

I feel like a dork
