I'm assuming you received this from a sports service. You need to assign a $ amount that you would bet per unit. Let's use $100 for simplicity purposes.

You would bet $330 to win $300 on TCU -17 points
$220 to win $200 on UTEP +43
etc.

the "-110" represents what you have to bet to win $100

The units are strength ratings given to each pick by the sports service.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Am I seeing something here that dont look right?
3 Units on Michigan -4 -110
Notre Dame has not scored yet this year and they have not even played anyone tough. Michigan always had a good defence. hmmmmm.

What are you questioning? The line? You think it's too low? Notre Dame is at home and their two wins are influencing the line a little bit. Mich struggled to win their first game.

On the surface, it looks like a blowout. I'll probably play Michigan. But the casinos and bookmakers are still in business because there's no such thing as a sure thing.
