Red Sheet

Michigan 47 - Purdue 17 - (8:00 EST - @ Indianapolis) -- Line opened at Michigan minus 14, and is now minus 16½. Been there, done that is hardly a cliche that applies to this meeting. Catching a team off a colossal is
every coaches' dream, as the emotional letdown of said team is normally too much to overcome. And
the fact that 5 of the 6 Wolverine TDs in their win over OhioSt were of the "long ball" (69, 75, 45, 75 &
85 yds) simply clinches a false sense of invulnerability, as far as opposing teams are concerned.
However, the Wolves were in the exact spot a year ago, & followed with that 42-3 whipping of Iowa (- 12½), in the conference title game. Wolves are #2 in the land in total "D", hamperng Boiler hopes. RATING: MICHIGAN 89

Ohio U 38 - Toledo 30 - (12:00 - @ Detroit, Mich) -- Line opened at Toledo minus 4½, and is now minus 1½. Looks as if the "public" has finally caught up with the weekly success of the Bobcats, who enter this game on an
8-0 spread run, relying on a time consuming offense, On the other hand, just maybe they've noticed that the once feared Rockets have dropped their last 5 games ATS, all of which had pegged them as the chalk, dropping 3 of those 5 outright. Sure, a shot at respectability may be a legitimate shot at
dedication, as far as Toledo is concerned, altho carrying the chalk role saps a bit of emotion from UT.
But winning never gets old, and with the Bobcats entering on a 7-game SU streak (+107 pts ATS). RATING: OHIO U 89

North Carolina 38 - Clemson 34 - (8:00 - @ Charlotte, NC) -- Line opened at Clemson minus 7½, and is still minus 7½. Old hat for the Tigers, who have now graced the ACC Title Game in 7 of the last 8 years, with only
last year's Pitt/Wake encounter spoiling the party. The Tigers, of course, have been nothing but
behemoths since the arrival of Dabo Swinney in '09, using this one as a platform for advancing to a
placement in the National Title game. CU is currently 7-0 SU & 6-1 ATS in the ACC title tilt, with the
lone squeaker coming in 2015's 35-27 win over the Tar Heels, in a game that ended on a questionable
offside call on an apparently successful onside kick in the dying seconds. Clemson "D" has come
from 8th to 20th, while the 'Heels have pulled outright upsets in all 3 of their dog setups this season. RATING: NORTH CAROLINA 88

Georgia 41 - Lsu 17 - (4:00 - @ Atlanta, Georgia) -- Line opened at Georgia minus 16½, and is now minus 18. Much like the Tigers of Clemson, the 'Dawgs are a part of the SEC title game for the 5th time over the last 6
years, & so far they are just 1-3 SU & 2-2 ATS. As is normally the case, they are again fortified by
their rock solid defense, which ranks 4th, 2nd, & 1st in total, rushing, & scoring. However, in their last
3 conference title games, they have allowed 35, 37, & 46 pts. Of course, those came vs Alabama &
Lsu, who all wound up in the national title game. Bulldog defense is just too overpowering in this one.. RATING: GEORGIA 88

BALTIMORE 27 - Denver 10 - (1:00) -- Line opened at Baltimore minus 6½, and is now minus 8½. Near double digit chalk role is always a bit scary, but until the Broncos can manufacture any sort of reliable offense,
they will continue as a solid "go-against", especially with "over/under" proponents, as the "under" has
reaped gold: 10-of-11. As we stated on Pointwise, if the Broncos had scored 18 pts in each of their games, they would stand at 9-2, & not 3-8. Ravens' 2nd-ranked rushing game should provide be
enough "O" to cover the spot. Tied with Cincy atop AFC North, to they cannot afford any slippage.. RATING: BALTIMORE 88

TENNESSEE 26 - Philadelphia 23 - (1:00) -- Line opened at Philadelphia minus 6½, and is now minus 5½. Check the Titans ranking 29th & 18th in total "O" & "D", which make little sense when examining their standing in
the AFC South. That's right, not only a 3-game lead over the Colts & Jags, but covering by the week.
Eight straight, to be exact, before last week's 20-16 loss to Cincy, with just a 30-yd deficit. Eagles, of
course, own the best record in the NFL, but have been extended in 3 of their last 4 games. Plenty of
overland is expected here, so a call for the homestanding Titans to cover their 5th straight dog role. RATING: TENNESSEE 88

NEAR CHOICES (Rated 87): Southern Cal, Central Fla, Kansas St -- NFL: NY Jets, NY Giants, New Orleans

Newsletter Tracking updated through December 4, 2022 from Mendoza Line

**There are no newsletter plays on the Monday Night Football game between the Bucs and Saints.
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.
