I went 14-9, so don't think bloodbath is a good word. Disappointing is a better word, as 61% isn't what I'm shooting for (went 11-4 thru the week with picks/leans as well)......the crappy part was liberty snuck in over NW....woulda like to hit 2/3 top 3....   Moving on....

Gotcha, reasonable reply. I'm a top three guy, 5% each, so Penn St was very meaningful to me. My gambling mentor also picked 10 a week, but firmly believed no one could make long term money betting that many (me too), so he played a Kelly rolling percentage {5% unless on a winning streak, then he could go as high as 7.5%, and down to 4% if on a cold spell) on the top five with action only on the others. Very, very occasionally he'd double the top pick and not bet the fifth.  I play your three and a couple of my own, or one of the smoking cat's for my weekly bets. Good luck.
