VW's Weekly Recap: Ho-Hum Two Weeks, Big Week Coming

by Vegas Writer

Wednesday, Oct 18, 2023
My apologies, but I lost a week due to some intense travel and prior obligations last week.

Plenty of college basketball media days to attend, both in and out of town, and I still missed some of the conferences I was hoping to attend.

Nevertheless, I'm going to update you on the past couple of weeks, and zero in on this past weekend specifically.

From last Tuesday, Oct. 3 through Monday, Oct. 16, I went 20-19-1 (51.3%) and lost $630.

I finished 11-12-1 in both college and pro football during that stretch, as I split out in college football (6-6), and was 5-6-1 in pro football.

Overall, College Football still continues to be impressive since Week 0, as I brought a 22-18-1 run for +$2,270 net profit since Aug. 31 into this week.

Breaking down favorites and dogs in college football, I am 3-6 with the underdogs I've released and am 18-10-2 with favorites.

Sitting at 19-14-3 in the NFL, I'm now 6-4 with underdogs - all six victories winning outright.

Last week alone, I went 7-5 in both NFL and College Football, including a 6-2 mark on Saturday and Sunday.

As for MLB action, I in that same two-week range (10/3-10/16), and brought a 66-56-1 run with $7,220 net profit into this week.

I hit my A.L. West Total of the Year in Game 1 of the ALCS with the Astros-Rangers staying Under. Wednesday I have my ALCS Game of the Year.

We're three games into the WNBA Finals, and the Las Vegas Aces face further adversity. They will be without Chelsea Gray and Kiah Stokes for Game 4, but this is a team that has dealt with - as Kelsey Plum puts it - injuries, lawsuits and arrests all season.

I haven't released a WNBA play since Sept. 29, but have my WNBA Finals Game of the Year going Wednesday.

Be sure to check out my College Football observations and my NFL Power Rankings.

Let's gear up for a big week of action.
