Okay, I’ll find a different way to describe it. “BullsOnParade96 did not retake the lead Tuesday night when he did not hit a massive parlay that did not involve MACtion.”

bullsonparade96 Ball State +5.0 points over Kent State; Under 62.5 points in the Ball State-Kent State game; Over 58.5 points in the Buffalo-Ohio game (WIN,WIN,WIN) Ball State 27-20; Ball State 27-20; Ohio 45-24 263.12 WIN 1578.72

“This did not turn a close, multiway race into a 750-unit lead. There was not a second weeknight MACtion parlay.”

ElliotMoore Over 58.5 points in the Buffalo-Ohio game; Under 62.5 points in the Ball State-Kent State game (WIN,WIN) Ohio 45-24; Ball State 27-20 60.00 WIN 156.00

“ElliotMoore did not become the 7th player in the black for the season (8th if you count AndrewPina’s “excluding futures” total), and does not continue to move up in the standings.”

Is that how that shtick went? The Great Space Coaster was a long time ago. Being a child named Gary at the time it was on the air, I was frequently reminded of its existence.

Here is the list of picks at 6:30 a.m. I had to run the report early today. A complete and updated list is posted, as always, at https://protectyouru.net/pyu/weekly_picks.php

RESULTS

It turns out there were a lot of big parlay wins this week:

bullsonparade96 Over 58.5 points in the Buffalo-Ohio game; Under 62.5 points in the Ball State-Kent State game; Ball State +5.0 points over Kent State (WIN,WIN,WIN) Ohio 45-24; Ball State 27-20; Ball State 27-20 263.12 WIN 1578.72
jrjs Michigan -26.0 points over Rutgers; Over 45.0 points in the Michigan-Rutgers game (WIN,WIN) Michigan 52-17; Michigan 52-17 100.00 WIN 260.00
jrjs Over 62.5 points in the UCLA-Arizona State game; Under 51.0 points in the Syracuse-Pittsburgh game; Under 59.5 points in the Oregon State-Washington game (WIN,WIN,WIN) UCLA 50-36; Pittsburgh 19-9; Washington 24-21 40.00 WIN 240.00
jrjs Under 64.5 points in the Liberty-Arkansas game; Under 65.0 points in the Oklahoma State-Kansas game; Kansas +2.0 points over Oklahoma State (WIN,WIN,WIN) Liberty 21-19; Kansas 37-16; Kansas 37-16 40.00 WIN 240.00
GaryStephen Michigan -26.0 points over Rutgers; Over 45.0 points in the Michigan-Rutgers game (WIN,WIN) Michigan 52-17; Michigan 52-17 78.00 WIN 202.80
Defdans Michigan State +16.5 points over Illinois; Utah -17.5 points over Arizona (WIN,WIN) Michigan State 23-15; Utah 45-20 60.00 WIN 156.00
ElliotMoore Under 62.5 points in the Ball State-Kent State game; Over 58.5 points in the Buffalo-Ohio game (WIN,WIN) Ball State 27-20; Ohio 45-24 60.00 WIN 156.00
ULhothot Fresno State -24.5 points over Hawaii; Colorado State +24.5 points over San Jose State; Under 59.0 points in the North Carolina-Virginia game (WIN,WIN,PUSH) Fresno State 55-13; San Jose State 28-16; North Carolina 31-28 50.00 WIN 130.00
ElliotMoore Michigan State +575.0 money line to beat Illinois Michigan State 23-15 20.00 WIN 115.00
jrjs Kansas +2.0 points over Oklahoma State; Under 65.0 points in the Oklahoma State-Kansas game (WIN,WIN) Kansas 37-16; Kansas 37-16 40.00 WIN 104.00

jrjs had four, count ‘em, four parlay hits in a week! And only one of them shared any components with the others. He went 11-3 on individual bets. Well played.

The Michigan-Rutgers parlay win was part of this interesting play:

jrjs Rutgers +26.5 points over Michigan; Under 45.5 points in the Michigan-Rutgers game (LOSS,LOSS) Michigan 52-17; Michigan 52-17 100.00 LOSS -100.00

jrjs parlayed Michigan cover and the over against Rutgers cover and the under. I guess the theory is that if Michigan covers, the point total will be high, whereas if Rutgers covers the point total will be low. It’s a great play if you can spot games like this, because a 2-way parlay pays 2.6 to 1. At that rate you only need to be right 38.4% of the time to break even.

If you consider that this parlay was part of a calculated play where one parlay was expected to lose, he went 9-1 on individual bets. His only loss was on Arkansas against Liberty. As for me, I only parlayed Michigan to cover and go over for 78 units because LOL Rutgers. The best spite bets are the ones that win.

So was this enough to make jrjs the biggest winner of the week?

bullsonparade96 1576.72 15
jrjs 704.00 10
ElliotMoore 177.36 7
GaryStephen 165.80 5
Defdans 42.18 4
ULhothot 27.30 3

No! Bullsonparade96 gets the 15 points for the points race! Tough break for jrjs there, as a gain of 704 units is enough for first place in a week.

It’s a new race now, as BullsOnParade96 and jrjs have separated themselves from the rest of the field.

Other items of note:

  • ULhothot’s hit on Michigan State beating Illinois at +646 was only the fourth-biggest money line longshot of the season. The others were UConn over Fresno State (+1400, ULhothot), Georgia Tech over Pittsburgh (+1240, BullsOnParade96), Eastern Michigan over Arizona State (+817, ElliotMoore). ElliotMoore also picked MSU at +575, which is was only good enough for eighth-best.
  • No one played the Auburn-Mississippi State game. It’s unusual for a Saturday night SEC game not to get action.
  • The Futures page has been updated. You can see which bets are in line to win or lose when the regular season ends. briank, defdans, LrdNorman, McIntyre2K7, and ULhothot are all in line for a windfall. Of particular is ULhothot, who placed two longshot conference championship bets that now have a good chance of coming in.
  • If ULhothot’s total gets over 1000, he will have to “repay” the 500-unit loan he got from the sudden death bet. This is per rule 11.2.
  • USF hosts SMU, who just beat Houston 77-63 in a regulation game. I may have some special bets on offer for this one.

Lots of matchups between Top 25 (or near-Top 25) teams in Week 11. Mississippi-Alabama, TCU-Texas, UCF-Tulane. Kansas State-Baylor, North Carolina-Wake Forest, Florida State-Syracuse. There’s a full week of MACtion and Fun Belt games. AAC games are the aforementioned SMU-USF, UCF-Tulane, Tulsa-Memphis, East Carolina-Cincinnati, Notre Dame-Navy, Temple-Houston, Rice-Western Kentucky, Louisiana Tech-UTSA, Charlotte-Middle Tennessee, North Texas-UAB, and FAU-FIU.
