He and Al Michaels ALWAYS mention the spread to the point of being obnoxious. A team could be a one point dog at home and you keep hearing about how those home underdogs are fired up. How many times he said that in the Husky game when they beat Stanford I couldn't count. They were what 3 point dogs and he made it sound like they were double digit dogs. Maybe he picked it up from the good ole days hanging out with Jimmy the Greek.
