That's good. I'd be more than happy to be your sportsbook for the one you just posted. And in the long run it's better to isolate games and make straight bets than to bet parlays. It's just a numbers game.
Look at it this way, if you're a beast handicapper you hit 60% of the time... So if you're hitting at that ridiculous rate you still only have a 21.6% chance of hitting a 3 team parlay. TTT, I, and others have discussed this quite a few times this year...

Parlays like these are stupid, just because it would pay out more if he just took his winnings and re-invested them in the next game. But I'm not against small parlays in the times that multiple games are going on at the same time.
The casinos out here have started lowering the number of teams you can parlay together after taking beatings earlier in the season.

For one, I'm on FIU -4 tonight so I disagree with you there... Secondly, your next two bets are on teams that expected to be in better bowls than they got so you've got parlayed money on big favorites that aren't excited about the games they're in.
You may hit but that's my honest analysis.
ETA - The regular season is about the schedule (the ups and downs of teenagers), the bowl season is about motivation, you have to keep that in mind.

my record for the year is 111-73
thats 60% winning percentage
I'm sure there is a way to win more money with that

I like teasers, and small parlays. For fun I usually do a BCS Parlay.
I think the best money is picking moneyline upsets when the spread is -5 or less.
ETA: I am a novice and this is probably horrible advice.
