I was looking at the odds of the clevland/Baltimore game:

cleveland -3-105
baltimore +3-115
35.5 ov -110

Could someone tell me what these numbers mean? I think it means that Browns are favorites by 3 points but what do the other numbers mean?

The number after the spread is the "money line". If I understand this right, for Cleveland, you have to put out $105 to win $100, and you put out $115 on Baltimore to win $100.

Had one of the numbers been positive (say +110) that means betting $100 would net you $110.

Make sense?
