Mendoza Line Newsletter Tracking (through 12/30/18)
NFL only the rest of the season.
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.

This is only my second post so I will try and be concise. While this forum does a great job of posting various newsletters and recapping the overall numbers of each, I think that by looking inside each of them at the various handicappers and also the Power Ratings of each of them, there is gold to be mined. For example VSIN has SIX handicappers that pick college football best bets. All of whom were better than 50%. Including 2 (Paul Howard and Paul Stone) who were 47-31. When you look inside Gaming Today you find that the individual handicappers didn't really distinguish themselves - though the periodical is excellent (better before the buyout however).
My last point is for those of us that use all the info available to do our own handicapping, look stringly at the newsletters Power Ratings for help. However i feel that using PR's that are behind the current games is far better than using the current ones - especially for the bowl games. I feel the people who generate them, perhaps try to justify their current numbers to better reflect how close they are to the point spread. But as we know the spread is meant to balance the betting publics wagers bot anything else. Foe example North Coasts numbers from a month ago did a much better job of forecasting Bowl Game outcomes than the ones from their Bowl Report. So did the Dunkel index. I hope this is helpful and not boring.
