Thanks for keeping a close eye out! You're right, of course. I should have shown that as a loss. I was using Scores and Odds and must have looked at the wrong line (closing). We grade against the total or spread posted by Pick 'n' Roll, College Funds and Ice Picks. The same is true for Side of the Day and Total of the Day.
For Dunkel, we grade against the opening lines of the games that are on the board when Dunkel posts. If a game is not on the board at the time Dunkel posts, we do not track it.
I'll correct and re-post immediately.
Thanks again, Checkers!
TOUCHDOWN FAT BOY!

Well, I double posted the end of "Others". The results are now correct, though. It's a good thing as my time to edit has expired! I'll get it looking right again tomorrow.
UDog, here is a perfect example of what we were talking about..

Villanova Wildcats at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-3)
Notre Dame hung with second-ranked Connecticut for 40 minutes in Storrs on Saturday, but the Huskies pulled out a 72-65 win.
"I think we still have a shot (at the NCAA tournament),'' said guard Kyle McAlarney, who had 14 points but missed 6-of-8 3-pointers. "We've been recovering from losses from this all year. This isn't a game where a loss knocks us out. A win would have propelled us, but we can still recover from this.''
The Irish's most impressive win came by 33 points at home against then-No. 5 Louisville, but with a sub-.500 conference record, adding a win over Villanova would provided some needed help to their tournament resume.
To do that, they'll probably need more from Luke Harangody than what he's given them lately. The Big East's leading scorer at 23.6 points per game, Harangody averaged 17.3 points on just 36.5 percent shooting in his last three games.
Harangody and McAlarney came up big in Notre Dame's most recent meeting with Villanova. Harangody had 25 points and a game-high 10 rebounds and McAlarney had 30 points in a 90-80 win in Philadelphia last season.
The Wildcats, meanwhile, need a more accurate effort from Scottie Reynolds. The junior guard was just 2-of-10 on Saturday and finished with 12 points and six turnovers.
Villanova is 9-0 when Reynolds scores 18 points or more and 10-1 when he shoots above 40.0 percent.
Reynolds has averaged 19.7 points in three career games against Notre Dame.
