Newsletter Tracking updated through October 10, 2022 from Mendoza Line
Not every newsletter gets posted every week, and I'll try to note when the record doesn't include every week of the season.
Another note is that the grading is based on the line indicated in the newsletter at the time of publication, not the closing line. Many of these newsletters will claim a win against the best available line as it moves throughout the week, but these records reflect the outcome against the line they were willing to make a play on in their newsletter.

Shazz, if u can find red sheet id appreciate it..
Red Sheet
Clemson 41 - FLORIDA STATE 27 - (7:30 EDT) -- Line opened at Clemson minus 4½, and is now minus 3½. As we stated on Pointwise, the 4th-ranked Tigers haven't posted those eye-popping winning margins as was a weekly happening in the Watson & Lawrence glory years, but just keep getting it done, with QB Uiagalelei improving by the week, standing at a sweet 14/2 TD/INT ratio. And check the nation's 2ndranked rushing "D", allowing back-to-back 34 yds the last 2 wks. Lowest spread in rivalry since 2011. RATING: CLEMSON 89
James Madison 41 - GEORGIA SOUTHERN 17 - (12:00) -- Line opened at James Madison minus 11, and is now minus 10½. Quite a splash the Dukes have made in their initial FBS season, along with weekly appearances on the Vegas Rotation. Not only a perfect 5-0 SU record, but the accompanying 4-0 log in the allimportant ATS race, ranking 2nd & 1st in total & rushing "D", while GaSo comes in at 116th & 123rd in those columns. Offensively, JM is also among the best: 16th & 18th in total & rushing. Dukes again. RATING: JAMES MADISON 89
Navy 34 - SMU 24 - (7:30 Friday) -- Line opened at SMU minus 20½, and is now minus 12½. Seems it wouldn't be a Red Sheet Release without a huge spread move, more than not in the wrong direction, with this one just the latest. We know that the phrase "the wrong team is favored" gets plenty of usage. So add this one to that category. As noted on Pointwise, the Middies are on a 3-game spread run, with last week's 52-21 rout of Tulsa (36½ pt cover) the capper. Ponies have a 117-80 pt deficit over the last 3 weeks. RATING: NAVY 88
WASHINGTON 52 - Arizona 27 - (1:00) -- Line opened at Washington minus 17, and is now minus 15½. No, we can't believe it either. Sure, the Huskies have dropped a couple of TD losses, at 6-0 Ucla,& 3-4 ArizonaSt, but those slips should hardly propel the public to move against them, which it surely has. But that would be a mistake, as UW has the firepower: 10th in total "O", 2nd in passing "O" (QB Penix 2nd ranked passer in the land: 16/4 with 2,044 yds), & 12th in scoring "O". 'Cats can move it behind 10thranked passing game, but their 110th ranked defense, won't be keep the Huskies in sight in this one. RATING: WASHINGTON 88
Lsu 37 - FLORIDA 27 - (7:00) -- Line opened at Florida minus 3, and is now minus 2½. Time for new HC Kelly to earn his pay, with such a situation as this, the prime reason for his hiring, in the first place. Bengals didn't know what hit them in 40-13 loss to Tennessee, which was aided immensely by a brace of special team mistakes, staking the Vols to a quick 20-0 lead, so that was that. The Gators came from posting 31 FDs & 594 yds (Tennessee), to just 13 FDs & 293 yds (Missouri), & now must assume the role of chalk vs the Tigers. Thus note that the dog is a remarkable 9-0 ATS in Florida's last nine contests. RATING: LSU 88
Dallas 26 - PHILADELPHIA 19 - (8:20 Sunday) -- Line opened at Philadelphia minus 1, and is now minus 5. Sure, the Eagles are the only undefeated team in the NFL, & deservedly so, with a 47-pt edge, which is topped only by the explosive Bills' 91-pt advantage. But even with their success, they must prove their worth against the oncoming Cowboys, who've won 4 straight, covering all 4, allowing no team to reach the 20-pt mark, allowing just 38 RYs in last week's 22-10 win (17-pt cover) over defending champion Rams. Sunday Nights normally are decided by a TD or less. In that case, we'll grab the 5 pts in this. RATING: DALLAS COWBOYS 88 NEAR CHOICES (Rated 87): Illinois, San Jose St, Buffalo, Eastern Mich -- NFL: San Fran, Buffalo, Denver
