More Like It

The first week of picking every game, both side and total, saw me hit 53%.  That isn't a profit making percentage, but picking that many games it is pretty good.  Of course, and I'll keep emphasizing this, one should never actually bet that many games, and I don't.  This is simply being done as an exercise.  The problem with that 53% last week was that I only went 2-3 with the ones I bet and that is not good.  But we tried again this week and the results were much more like I anticipated.  Overall I went 41-51 which is 44.5% accuracy.  The good news is that my actual bets went 4-1, and that is a money making weekend.  And 6-4 for the two weeks is respectable as well.  This week I have taken the time to breakdown my picks by conference to see where I was strongest or weakest.  I'll make an effort to do this again for week 5 of college football, as long as my real job allows.  Here is the breakdown by conference, first numbers are the side and the second numbers are the totals.  Also, if a game was between teams from the same conference, it only counted one time.   

ACC: 4-3, 3-4
Big 12: 2-3, 2-3
Big East: 4-2, 1-5
Big Ten: 4-4, 3-5
C-USA: 4-4, 1-7
Independents: 1-1, 0-2
MAC: 8-1, 5-4
MWC: 1-3, 1-3
PAC 12: 2-3, 1-4
SEC: 5-2, 2-5
Sun Belt: 2-3, 3-2
WAC: 2-3, 2-3

Wouldn't be too hard to figure out I graduated from a MAC school, would it?  Anyway, back to the present and Monday Night Football is on tonight, with the Redskins visiting the Cowboys.  I haven't looked at the number recently, but I am on Washington and got it at +6.5.  I think the Redskins defense is good enough to bother Romo and possibly not allow him to finish the game.  That would give the edge to Washington as they could pull off the SU win.  Good luck, and remember, never bet what you cant afford to lose.
