Pretty much a regular
Last week was much better. 9-4 for the week, which brings the season total back to as good as a coin flip (66-66-2), although you're hemorrhaging money if you're paying juice north of -110 like I've been. Looking to get on a roll, but these lines are getting tighter and tighter just like they do every year at this time. Not a huge amount of marquee games(and nothing late night at all???) but there's slew of interesting ones. Also quite a few games that hinge on injuries that we'll have to keep an eye on.

Wyoming +7.5 WIN
Washington +2.5 WIN
Iowa -2.5 WIN

10-3
1, @Army -21.5 v Air Force: ********Late note. I bought off this on the news Bryson Daily is out. Somehow got AF +22.5 So hoping for a 22 point Army win. Would not lay this much with Army without Daily,
The fall from grace for this Air Force team has really been a head scratcher, but it is very real. Consider: Since starting last season with a 8-0 record, from the time they teed it up with Army in week 9, they have gone 0-10 straight up in their regular season games against FBS opponents. The slide began when they were 17 point home favorites against this Army team and got humiliated 23-3. This year, the results have been horrifying. The only win is against an FCS Merrimack team that UConn had a 56-0 halftime lead against the following week. the offense has been an abomination, topping 300 yards only against Wyoming and the worst defense in FBS in New Mexico(who beat them by 15 points). Enter Army, a team better than the team that handled a better Air Force team last year. The gulf between each team's performances on both sides of the ball is extreme, and we're talking about pretty comparable schedules. Air Force's defense is almost as bad as their offense, and Bryson Daily should be able to run wild with that power running scheme Army's been running. Service academies typically know how to defend each other, but Army is running something different than the option. Also, even if they did employ a true option, Air Force can't stop that either, which was indicated by the box score of the Navy game a couple weeks ago. If Army is motivated, they should be able to get margin here without any trouble. Air Force can't stop the run and they can't move the ball enough to scare anyone into thinking they can keep up on the scoreboard.
***Late edit. I see this line is rising, and it looks like it's going to continue to go up. I would not go as high as 23.5 or anything approaching 24. My reasoning is a couple posts below.
Bought out of this one due to the Daily injury. Air Force was never in this one, but Army wasn't going to get margin because they just wanted to get through the game without Daily and they were unlikely to try to run it up against another SA anyway. Only 250 yards for Army.
