The 3 star you see below from Hurricane Bill in the Wise Guys Contest is on the Pittsburgh Panthers in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl on this coming Wednesday. When they list plays if they use all CAPITALS it means they are on the NFL. Contestants post 1 and 2 star plays and have one 3 star play a year. Hurricane Bill's 3 star is the Pitt Panthers.

For newer folks, newsletters always have good info but historically not something to blindly follow during bowl season. Too many things happen between printing time and game time. Coaching changes, suspensions,etc.

handicapping can be such a crapshoot...gotta respect the hot streak, but crazy how for many cappers the more confident play usually seems to have a much worse record.

NFL Records Update - Thanks Mendoza Line!
Newsletter Tracking through 12/26/2016 by Mendoza Line, posted December 27 at another forum:
Not every newsletter gets posted every week, and I'll try to note when the record doesn't include every week of the season.
Another note is that the grading is based on the line indicated in the newsletter at the time of publication, not the closing line. Many of these newsletters will claim a win against the best available line as it moves throughout the week, but these records reflect the outcome against the line they were willing to make a play on in their newsletter.
Updating only NFL records again this week. It becomes too difficult to track college plays in the usual way during the bowl season, as many newsletters stop releasing college plays altogether, and some release special bowl editions with suggestions on every game.
