It means the home team, which is always the 1st team listed in the left-msot column, is the UNDERDOG.

Great....i will let my teams know....is there anyway that all lines can be posted as a [-] minus so it's conisitant that all [F] teams are favorite?   Some of the team I have are new and I know will get confused :-)

We're actually already doing more than you will find with a typical betting site or casino. For example, we explicitely call out the favorite with the 'F' next to the team. What you could do is tell your league to simply ignore the minus sign and know that the team with the 'F' is the team favored by the amount of points listed.
