System Record 9-12

Forgot to bump the post for the VaTech game, but it is included in the above record. Gonna keep playing these despite the bad results over the last 40 games or so as I believe in the system and it is never a good idea to jump off at the end of cold streaks.

For today

Minnesota -34
Arkansas -21
Texas -30
Florida State -19
Maryland -9.5
UAB +14
