You're in a league where the spreads can change throughout the week, those who won had the slightly more favorable spread.

Are you saying when you make your pick, you lock in the spread for that day????  Shouldn't the final spread be the deciding factor??

Basically. Its whatever the spread is at that time. The spread will move only if it changes by 2 or more points. In your case the spread moved 2 points later in the week.

Your manager has the league configured this way. There is a setting he/she can consider where everyone gets the opening spread. Most pickem managers prefer the method your manager is using.
