The Strangeness Continues

Complete opposite of normal operation here last week - AGAIN.  Pulled a near perfect NCAA week and went horribly in NFL.  I'll blame Vegas for not knowing ANYTHING about 90% of the teams going to week 2.  The bank below is tracked throughout the season (based on a $110 bet on each game with -110 odds).

2019 Theoretical bank is ($2,750) + $3,150 + $0 = $400.  (Total amount wagered + winnings + money returned from pushes = net profit/loss).

Here's a summary of last week.

Maryland @ Temple +7  WIN 17 - 20 (Margin -3)  On the field.

NC State @ West Virginia +7 WIN 27 - 44 (Margin -17)  On the field.

Oklahoma State @ Tulsa +14 LOSS 40 - 21(Margin +19)  Oh well.

USC at BYU +4 WIN 27 - 30 (2OT) (Margin -3)  On the field.

Texas Tech @ Arizona +2.5 WIN 14 - 28 (Margin -14)  On the field.  That's nearly a dream week.

LAC @ DET +2.5 WIN 10  - 13 (Margin -3) On the field.

KC @ OAK +7 LOSS 28 - 10 (Margin +18) Well they looked okay for a minute.

MIN +3 @ GB LOSS 16 - 21 (Margin +5) Thanks Kirk.

JAX @ HOU -9 LOSS 12 - 13 (Margin -1) Vegas is losing a shit ton of money on the NFL.

CLE -2.5 @ NYJ WIN 23 - 3 (Margin -20) Browns forgot about week 1.
