Hi, folks! We had to wait for the improvised Sunday game between California and UCLA to do the end-of-week summary. It turned out there were no live bets on that game, just two parlays that had already lost.
This week’s storyline is easy to find:
| bullsonparade96 | Miami (FL) +3.0 points over Virginia Tech; Memphis -8.5 points over Navy; Notre Dame -12.5 points over Boston College (WIN,VOID,WIN) | Miami (FL) 25-24; Navy 0-0; Notre Dame 45-31 | 500.00 | WIN | 1300.00 |
| bullsonparade96 | Boise State -12.5 points over Colorado State; Miami (FL) +3.0 points over Virginia Tech; Notre Dame -12.5 points over Boston College (WIN,WIN,WIN) | Boise State 52-21; Miami (FL) 25-24; Notre Dame 45-31 | 200.00 | WIN | 1200.00 |
BullsOnParade hits another huge Daily Double, this time winning on Miami, Notre Dame, and Boise State. One game in his three-way parlay was cancelled, which happens a lot in 2020, but a two-way win at $500 is still a big score. If this is our James Holzhauer, speruche continues to be our Brad Rutter, who continue to pile up fake money with a big win of his own:
| speruche | North Carolina State -10.5 points over Florida State; Wisconsin -4.5 points over Michigan; Under 76.5 points in the Temple-Central Florida game (WIN,WIN,WIN) | North Carolina State 38-22; Wisconsin 49-11; Central Florida 38-13 | 200.00 | WIN | 1200.00 |
And that’s not all; a lot of other big bets paid off this week also:
| undercoverbull | Indiana -7.0 points over Michigan State; Miami (FL) +2.5 points over Virginia Tech (WIN,WIN) | Indiana 24-0; Miami (FL) 25-24 | 249.00 | WIN | 647.40 |
| dsidwell31 | Indiana -7.5 points over Michigan State; Houston -13.5 points over South Florida; Ohio State -25.0 points over Maryland (WIN,WIN,VOID) | Indiana 24-0; Houston 56-21; Maryland 0-0 | 150.00 | WIN | 390.00 |
| E-dogg42 | Over 5.5 points in the COVID-19-Number of Games Cancelled game; Notre Dame -12.5 points over Boston College (WIN,WIN) | COVID-19 14-0; Notre Dame 45-31 | 80.00 | WIN | 208.00 |
| Danj725 | Notre Dame -13.5 points over Boston College; Over 49.5 points in the Notre Dame-Boston College game (WIN,WIN) | Notre Dame 45-31; Notre Dame 45-31 | 50.00 | WIN | 130.00 |

| ElliotMoore | Central Florida -18.5 points over Temple | Central Florida 38-13 | 60.00 | WIN | 54.55 |
The house took a beating this week. What does that make the standings?

Defdans is down to $0, and may make a Sudden Death bet to stay in the game. It must be a pointspread bet on an AAC game. I will put $1 fake dollar into his account so he may enter this bet. No one else is below $250.
The over/under for cancellations was 14. 15 games were cancelled, and the Cal-UCLA game was created out of thin air, which reduces the total by one. Players went 10-0 on the cancellations bet this week, as opposed to 8-12 in previous weeks. Clearly I set the initial number far too low. Lesson learned.
Games for Week 12:
| Akron at Kent State | Buffalo at Bowling Green State | Ohio at Miami (OH) |
| Northern Illinois at Ball State | Toledo at Eastern Michigan | Western Michigan at Central Michigan |
| Tulane at Tulsa | Utah State at Wyoming | Syracuse at Louisville |
| Purdue at Minnesota | Massachusetts at Florida Atlantic | New Mexico at Air Force |
| Georgia Southern at Army | Stephen F. Austin at Memphis | Indiana at Ohio State |
| Louisiana State at Arkansas | Florida at Vanderbilt | Illinois at Nebraska |
| Wake Forest at Duke | Clemson at Florida State | Houston at Southern Methodist |
| East Carolina at Temple | Appalachian State at Coastal Carolina | Charlotte at Marshall |
| Florida International at Western Kentucky | Rice at North Texas | Central Arkansas at Louisiana |
| Arkansas State at Texas State | North Alabama at Brigham Young | Texas-San Antonio at Southern Mississippi |
| Wisconsin at Northwestern | California at Oregon State | San Diego State at Nevada |
| Texas at Kansas | Mississippi at Texas A&M | Middle Tennessee State at Troy |
| Cincinnati at Central Florida | Georgia State at South Alabama | Virginia Tech at Pittsburgh |
| Louisiana-Monroe at Louisiana Tech | Kansas State at Iowa State | Kentucky at Alabama |
| Abilene Christian at Virginia | Nevada-Las Vegas at Colorado State | San Jose State at Fresno State |
| Tennessee at Auburn | Liberty at North Carolina State | Oklahoma State at Oklahoma |
| Mississippi State at Georgia | Missouri at South Carolina | Michigan at Rutgers |
| Navy at South Florida | Georgia Tech at Miami (FL) | Arizona at Washington |
| Arizona State at Colorado | Southern California at Utah | Washington State at Stanford |
| Boise State at Hawaii | UCLA at Oregon | Michigan State at Maryland |
| Iowa at Penn State |
There are 61 games scheduled at the start of the week. The UAB-UTSA game was cancelled before Week 12 started, so it will not count towards the Week 12 cancellations bet. This bet will likely be offered every week for the rest of the season. Then, hopefully, not offered at all in 2021.
