Anyone see VSIN Point Spread Weekly yet? They were perfect last week, I believe.

 

[d3nv3r]

Lawrence having a terrible week 1 in the NFL, just like last year. Great fade material.

Appreciate your records CFB2014. You are covering some of the newletters that Menodoza Line does not. If you could just put in a couple lines about how you are grading the line and your unit method. This is great, thanks!

Looking at your records, its depressing. You might of done better using a quarter.

 

[CFBall2014]

No problem Buzz.... I am using the star rating to assign the units since the touts mostly assign different ratings... I.E. 3 stars = 3 units (not including the big/juice).. If they do not specifcally differentiate between the values like Sport Reporter all best bets are considered equal value. Red Sheets I assigned 2 units for "superior plays" and 1 unit for "above average plays"... which I noticed I calculated it wrong..he finished (2-3) and minus -2 units not -1.

Thanks for doing this again CFB2014. did you do this for week two?.. I listen to Brad Powers on the Bill is king show on fridays.. wow 0-5! No Bueno... Phil Steele 1-4?? doesn't he claims to know more about college football than anyone...guess not.

It looks like to me that the College Football Adviser is the only one that is doing well this year. So I'll give them a iittle credit. The others have been stinking up the joint! .. On to week 4 we go

More newsletter tracking

Mendoza Line cumulative year to date record:

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.
