in week 5 the oakland/chicago game qualified for the 2nd half play of a team leading by 15 or more at the half to go under doesn't it? it also counts towards the road team leading by 15 or more? the raiders were ahead by 15 at the half and 24 ponits were scored in the 2nd half vs. a line of 21 2nd half..please let me know if i am wrong..thank you

The confusion on this point is what happens on games where the road team is leading by EXACTLY 15 points?
I have posted these angles repeatedly at different times. On this angle, I have written the caveta in different ways:
>15 (means greater than 15)
15 or more points (I think I wrote it this way early this season, but that was sloppy -- it should be more than 15 I believe)
16 or more points (I think this is the original caveta from 2001)
I was sloppy on the exactitude of this angle since I've printed three different caveats (it's very rare for a road team to be leading by eactly 15 points -- so this is the first time it's happened).
What I will do is return to Jack Granowski's data (from 1982 through 1998) and check how he identified the caveat (Note: He should be credited with identifying the caveat). If he says 16 or greater, I will use that rule. If he says 15 or greater, I will use that rule. I will also correct my record, accordingly.
The point is -- the same logical explanation would seem to apply to a game where one team leads by 15 versus 16 points. But, I'll let Granowski's original findings be the determinig rules on this.
