Mendozaline Newsletter Tracking (through 10/28/2024)
The records here will reflect the lines listed in the newsletters at the time the plays were published. This is for the rated plays, the high-ranking plays, and any type of play worth tracking. There’s no reason to keep track of every bottom-tier or “recommended” play; it’s not worth the work.
Sometimes the newsletters will cheat a little by claiming a different common or later line if it turns a loss into a push or otherwise boosts their record. I’ll usually be able to note what happened to explain the discrepancy.
I’ll also highlight particularly good or bad weekends or short-term runs. I will not include picks from newsletter issues that we don’t get in time.

Marc Lawrence's Playbook Wednesday-Thursday Plays
Wednesday, Oct 30
Jacksonville State over LIBERTY by 3
The Flames were liberated from an undefeated season in one of this year’s biggest upsets when Kennesaw State stunned LU by 3. Liberty was a 27-point favorite, and that immediately placed them in our “Bubble Burst” handcuffs. The Flames are 10-2 ATS as the favorite against a team that was favored in its last game, but this is a way better Jacksonville State team than the 0-3 SUATS bunch we were making fun of in previous issues. Suddenly, Rich Rod’s team has rammed the rod down the throats of four straight teams, including a 400-plus yards rushing performance last week. That’s in line with an average +236 yards per game edge for JSU, and we’re counting on a hot Cocks team burning the Flames.
WESTERN KENTUCKY over Kennesaw State by 28
KSU will answer the age-old question posed by the Alan Parsons Project, “Where Do We Go from Here?” Or maybe we quote Neil Young, “It’s better to burn out than fade away.”? The bottom line is we expect a rather dramatic crash, boom, bang by the Owls against an always solid WKU bunch, once again fighting for conference superiority. Caden Veltkamp accounted for four scores last week, and the WKU QB has helped his team to a 4-0 SUATS mark with an average winning margin of 15, better than the spread. Kennesaw is 1-6 and is 0-7 In the Stats by -158 yards per game. Hell froze over last week, but in the age of climate change, the ice has already melted like an ice cream cake at a 6-year-old’s birthday party.

Tulane over CHARLOTTE by 11
The Green Wave is fighting the Army and the Navy for the high ground and the high seas in the American, all three unbeaten in conference play. QB Darian Mensah has been one of the AAC‘s best, thanks to a 15:3 TD/INT ratio, while RB Makhi Hughes rushed for 195 yards vs. North Texas last week and has 931 yards this season. Charlotte outgained Navy two weeks ago and held the Mids to a season-low 291 yards but couldn’t pull off the upset then or vs. Memphis last week. The 49ers had the lead until giving up the losing score with 31 seconds left. Both teams may not be at their emotional peak for this one, and we offer this advice to rescue your bank balance…Tulane is 4-16 SU and 6-14 ATS away when coming off a road win. The Green Wave locked down a third straight bowl season, and the prospects of a letdown against the Niners are enough to point our Geiger counters in a different direction.
I hope you are right Timmy. At this point in life we just need to avoid the haymaker.Like I said brother life is a 15 round bout, and ur still in single digit rounds brother u ain't goin no place yet
