Little known fact about me. I think most who know my past contest story know I won the first Circa booby prize in 2020 (also finished tied 47th with my other Circa Millions entry that year), but in 2019 I was leading the Golden Nugget Ultimate Handicapping Challenge heading into the last week of selections (Team MM). Well, read the article and you can see how that played out....

While Temple outgained Army 8.8 to 5.2 YPP, they somehow lost 21-17 and failed to cover the +3.5.
Let's not forget that this is the same Temple team that blew a 14pt lead with a little over a minute left last week and lost in OT to Toledo.
Bad teams, do bad things, and usually have bad luck...
Well, it all comes down to one final game for my MLB season win totals.
Red Sox under 87.5 wins will be determined on the final game of the season. For the season currently 1-2 with Boston pending.
Giants under 80.5 ✅
Mariners over 89.5 ❌🤮
Orioles over 85.5 ❌
This is coming off going a perfect 3-0 with my NBA totals.
Can the Cubs wake the fk up and hit for one game?
At this point SO many 5th years are going to at least start the season active so we need one national lawsuit to just let every 5th year play.
To have some play & some not bc of the lawsuit they're in & their specific judge is ridiculous.
Getting annoyed by the mixed rulings
Congrats to Gill and Kelley for recommending the Brewers #1 seed back in early June. Going back and looking at some MLB futures bets, took the Brewers 9-1 and they cashed last night with the Dodgers losing and Milwaukee holding the tiebreaker.
With Cam more than likely winning the Cy Young (40-1 and 35-1) and the Brewers bet, I will be able to afford the Sushi restaurant you guys went to with Drew and Andy...

Tonight was the Liberty team I thought I would see (not the team that played JMU and Gardner Webb) as I picked them to win CUSA before the season. Long way to go but they looked great especially on offense
If you read my article on Substack this week I talked about using my ratings to hit openers and I used the Liberty game as an example. If you have not read the article, head over to my Substack page, subscribe, and read it.

BREAKING: Roddy Gayle was just granted a fifth year at Michigan, per a judge's ruling in Niagara Falls, NY. Gayle sued the NCAA and won. The NCAA is expected to appeal.
Gayle is one of the first players seeking a fifth year to win out in a full court hearing.
Judge overseeing NCAA lawsuit involving Indiana defenders didn't hold back in yesterday's ruling.
"Arbitrary, capricious & unreasonable."
"The NCAA has treated players like yo-yo's."
"Not based on a principled position to benefit student-athletes."

An update on the Ohio 5-in-5 eligibility case:
The Ohio Supreme Court has denied the players' emergency motion to vacate the stay.
The players in the Ohio case remain ineligible. We are still waiting for a decision from the Court of Appeals after Tuesday's hearing.
The "losing" party from the Court of Appeals decision can still decide to appeal to the Ohio Supreme Court.
If other courts continue to make these same findings, I don’t know how the NCAA can in good faith continue to fight the 5 in 5 cases.
When courts find your own rulebook says the class of 2022 athletes are eligible you have a major problem.
The NCAA mades changes to eligibility rules in the wake of COVID-19, for professional athletes and JUCO athletes, but are now saying they can't for 2022 class, judge says that's "arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable" in her ruling.
Sources: Indiana defensive linemen Kellan Wyatt and Stephen Daley were granted an injunction today in local court that paves the way to make them eligible for the 2026 season. Their TRO had expired and they missed WKU game. The NCAA will likely appeal.
