Is that a dash or a minus sign before the numbers? In other words, are those numbers for the favorite or the underdog?

Louisa County is my surprise team. They will make some noise in 4a. They are in top ten without question. As athletic then any other team in state. Blacksburg #2 (3a state champs) in front of 2 time 4a defending champs in Salem is almost comical. I can see dinwiddie #1, they have a solid group coming back.

- in a spread indicates the favorite, + indicates the underdog. This is also known as the give and the take. If someone is taking the points that means they're betting on the underdog to finish within the point spread, win or lose. If someone gives the points it means they're betting on the favorite to win by the spread. If you ever hear someone say something like "the Giants are giving 4 points this weekend" it means they're the favorites. Similarly, you might hear someone say "I'm laying the points in the Baltimore game" which means they're betting on the favorite to win.

Lca will surprise people this week when they come out with a win against GW.
