      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!

        Of course the lower odds are all weak spots

        one will lose

          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.

            I think WVU at -570 is atrocious!

                          Maybe take them out and put them on a 3 teamer by themselves if you really like them.

                            not bad, but i think it needs to be shortned, too many games to rely on

                              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.
