Turkey Day Single and Others

Here I go again (on my own).  It's time for a Turkey Day Single and NCAAF Rivalry week!  On to the bank below, we're down $1,200 on the season (based on a $110 bet on each game with -110 odds).

2018 Theoretical bank is ($12,760) + $11,340 + $220 = ($1,200).  (Total amount wagered + winnings + money returned from pushes = net profit/loss)

Here's a summary of last week.

Boston College @ FSU +1.5 WIN 21 - 22 (Margin -1)  This was a stinky poo line.

Michigan State @ Nebraska +1.5 WIN 6 - 9 (Margin -3)  No touchdowns and all field goals make for a boring game.

Mississippi +3 @ Vanderbilt LOSS 29 - 36 (OT) (Margin +7)  Overtime losers suck.

Arizona State +3.5 @Oregon WIN 29 - 31 (Margin +3)  Love the hook!

Arizona +10.5 @ Washington State LOSS 28 - 69 (Margin +41)  One game kills the weekly point differential.

TB +1.5 @ NYG LOSS 35 - 38 (Margin +3)  Stupid Eli.

DEN +7 @ LAC WIN 23 - 22 (Margin -1)  Surprised by the outright win here.

HOU -3 @ WAS LOSS 23 - 21 (Margin -2)  Dumb.

PIT @ JAX +5.5 WIN 20 - 16 (Margin +4)  Bortleservice.

MIN @ CHI -2.5 WIN 20 - 25 (Margin -5)  I don't like being correct in these situations.

I can't wait until these games go 10-0.  Parlay 'em, money line 'em, and tease 'em all.  Guaranteed to go wrong............ until we get hot again.
