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.
Just so we're clear on how grading worked this week, there were a few outcomes that would have been different depending on when the pick was made. Power Sweep had a loser with San Diego State -5, which would have been a winner for anyone who waited to buy it at -1.5 or -2 by Saturday. On the other side of the same game, Sports Reporter had Air Force +3.5, graded as a loss as well. Similarly, Ball State +9.5 was a loser for Gold Sheet, but Ball State could have been a winner for some who waited for a higher line. Two newsletters, Red Sheet and CKO, had West Virginia graded as winners, but many people lost with WV as the line got 3 points higher by Saturday.
