Right now, the microscope is on all officials. We need to ever be vigilant as to how we are viewed. As a friendly note from one official to another, its probably not a good idea to talk on a public forum about your team covering the spread. Its one of those things that may be completely innocent, yet may cause you to do a lot of explaining some day you want to do college ball.
How about officials playing fantasy football? Granted that is the NFL level and most of us will never work at that level but it is another form of gambling. I'm not a fan of fantasy but this thought popped in my head when I read these comments.
