It's bcm parlance regarding a specif team's pt advantage/disadvan in a matchup.

If you mean asking the over/under should yield a response as to which team is

It's not just CB.

SinkingQuffa

11/23/20 11:36pm

Haha, exactly. No one even knows what over/under means here

11/24/20 5:00am

Including the OP. I’m assuming he was intending the ask what the spread would be
