My Texas Dallas is a 119 point favorite tonight.vs. Dallas. I have never seen a spread that high. Has anyone else had or seen one higher. I can't believe it would be possible to cover it.

Wow, I've seen a few in the 70's but nothing approaching this.  The strange thing is that it doesn't even seem like a horrible DIII SIM AI team.  You certainly have one of the strongest DIII teams around though.

There was a team that was just terrible in Phelan D3 a few years ago, human coached who had completely quit and had like 11 walk-ons, he was an underdog by triple digits several times that year, but I don't remember if any of them were that high.

Hell, that team could compete effectively in D11. They are some extreme player ratings for D111.

i think the best thing is that you're only averaging 90-odd PPG. So you're going to go for 30 more than normal, and shut them out?

I was once a 52 point favorite, but lost the game by 2.  Be very wary of the spreads, especially early in the season....

There's a team in my conference that whose coach has apparently lost interest.  He hasn't recruited in 4 seasons and has lost at least 87 consecutive games.

The largest point spread I've had vs. them was 116 points. The average score of our last 6 meetings is 92-29

Started your backups? Sounds like point shaving.

BUSTED!! LOL

 My goal was speed up my backup's ratings by giving them more minutes. But, because I failed to remove the "give more time to backups in a blowout",  my 'true starters' played more than they had all year.

Man, I was only a 109 point favorite vs. that team.  Guess there is a reason why your squad is #1 this year!  LOL

Current season in Phelan ODAC, there is a human team that is either abandoned or on cruise control. In conf play they have been 114 pt dog vs #2 overall, a 67 pt dog vs current #2 in conf, my first game against them (ranked #11 overall) was an 83 pt spread. Next game will be 2nd in conf vs them, and apparently they improved, we got worse, or their HCA means something, because am only a 77 pt fav this time.
