So true Chuck,
Just as Sept-Oct MLB's teams do their "baseball fever..it's FANtastic" playoff race tank-jobs/position-jockeying/faux-finishes..where they break the squares by losing & out-losing their way into the postseason in unison..
.. Nov is college football's dog month/BCS shakeout & bailout, and rivalry games..
The NFL's playoff jockeying started hard last week with it's plethora of outright doggies pulling "season-savers", and the pack will be pulling many of the front-runners back in during the next few weeks with "shockers", as Nov heads into Dec..
Week 12 thru 16 each year always has one week alone where the dogs go a good 13-3/14-2ish ATS with the majority being outright, as the bevy of laydowns make for nice dogs on MLs and Action Pts plays.
