I'll be in Dallas this Wednesday to watch the Giants & Dallas. I've always wanted to go and this year I'm going. I'm a 100 percent Marine Corps Disabled Veteran and I love following this site. BuzzKill and so many other people on here I resect and enjoy your post. Thanks for being a great group and sports nuts like myself, enjoy your Thanksgiving Day with family & friends. Thanks for all the post and your friendship.
Newsletter Tracking (through 11/25/2024)
The records here will reflect the lines listed in the newsletters at the time the plays were published. This is for the rated plays, the high-ranking plays, and any type of play worth tracking. There’s no reason to keep track of every bottom-tier or “recommended” play; it’s not worth the work.
Sometimes the newsletters will cheat a little by claiming a different common or later line if it turns a loss into a push or otherwise boosts their record. I’ll usually be able to note what happened to explain the discrepancy.
I’ll also highlight particularly good or bad weekends or short-term runs. I will not include picks from newsletter issues that we don’t get in time.
Starting to color-code the hottest and coldest records. Usually just anything hitting/missing around 70% or more with a reasonable sample.

PLAYBOOK EARLIES
TUESDAY, NOV 26
BUFFALO over Kent State by 22
Buffalo trails the top 3 for the MAC title game and couldn’t have asked for a cushier landing spot than a home game against Kent State, a team having arguably one of the worst seasons in college football history. Strangely Buffalo is 0-3 in their last three home games, and you could argue they’ve overachieved this season since pre-season rankings had the Bulls 10th. The Golden Grahams have been tarnished to the tune of 0-11 with a -277 yards per game difference, giving up 512 while gaining 235. They’ve been outscored 486-160. The Bulls are likely to be a bit salty despite already knowing they’re going to win because Kent has won two of the last three meetings. The good news is the beginning of the end for KSU at 7:00 tonight, but we’ll skip the burial.
Toledo over AKRON by 6
Speaking of putting teams out of their misery, Akron will play its final 2024 game. They’re “red hot,” having handed Kent a 38-17 defeat while outgaining them by 248 yards and doubling their win total from one to two. Akron has been outgained by -122. You could say the Rockets fizzled this season, even though their seven wins have them bowl-eligible; an inconsistent offense doomed Toledo. The totals in their last four games are 422, 418, 299, and a frightening 215. Toledo has won the last four matchups, the last being in 2021. Jason Candle’s Rockets followed the famous line, “It's better to burn out than fade away,” as they went from a pre-season #2 among the MAC media brain trust to being out of the championship picture. A picture we may never see Akron in our lifetimes.
THURSDAY, NOV 28
TULANE over Memphis by 6
Wait, are we expected to buy a battle of 9-2 teams with Tulane as a 14-point or higher favorite? We know Tulane is riding an eight-game Green Wave streak of winning, and the latest Coaches Poll has them as the highest-ranked team in the Bayou State. We know Tulane is going to the American Conference title game, but pre-season conference favorite Memphis is not. We know Tulane has the nation’s sixth-ranked passer in QB Darian Mensah and the country’s fifth-best rusher in Makhi Hughes, but what you need to know is Memphis is 3-0 ATS in this series with double revenge. The Tigers are 12-3 ATS coming off a bye, 7-3 in weekday games, and outgained their last four teams by an average of 115 points per game. This is the first time in over a decade that Memphis has opened as a two-TD betting underdog. Memphis has a strong QB-RB duo in Seth Henigan and 1,000-yard rusher Mario Anderson. Tulane may be looking ahead to the conference title game, but Memphis didn’t fall off the turnip truck. By the way, has anyone ever seen an actual turnip truck?
