Spreads

Seems there is / are always one or more tems where the spread/s are "off" until the last minute and sometimes past the picks deadline. Like this WK 5, the Thursday game still shows 'off' and many other spread lines show the Texans favored by 2.

Is there a reason why or is it simply your spread source which has not yet set the spread?

Here's the problem. Basically setting the line is a manual process by myself and one other. The services that provide an accurate feed on the line charge >30K year. I do have an algorithm that scrapes the line from a site, but I'm not confident in it enough yet to have it update automatically. So this is a work in progress. Just don't hesitate to remind us if you don't see a line and it has become avaialble. I checked last night and the Colts game was off on every source provided by Covers.com, but its finally available this AM.
