    I don't think any of the spots in your parlay are particularly "weak". That is, the weakest link you have is still around 60% to win (Wake Forest). The other teams you have gradually have better chances to win their games (just goes up from there).

    But here you go:

    The top Weak spot is:
    [321] wake forest -175

    The next weak spot is:
    [389] wisconsin -290

    3rd and 4th would be:
    [363] kansas state -375
    [328] clemson -375

    I'm not sure how far you want me to go, so I'll just put the rest in order for you:
    [329] no illinois -560
    [309] west virginia -570
    [323] arkansas -650
    [378] toledo -725
    [318] florida state -900
    [388] lsu -1100
    [332] virginia tech -1200
    [333] texas a&m -1200
    [386] stanford -1200


    Good Luck on your parlay!

    Well, yeah, obviously the lower odds are supposed to be the weak spots, but that's why we gamble right - because we think we "know better than the books". For instance I am feeling particularly confident in wake forest. Also for instance Northern Illinois and Ohio are given the same odds, but based on my analysis I think Northern Illinois is much more likely to win than Ohio. So if someone was to show me a parlay with Ohio and Wake Forest in it, I would say Ohio is the weak spot there, regardless of odds.

    Thanks all for the feedback. In the SBR book the 500 pointer I was considering putting on it pays something like 3600 points. In "real odds" it should pay 4250. So I will consider shortening it and placing it in a real book.
