Month: November 2011

My most sincere apologies to everyone for not updating this weekend.  Working retail, I’m sure you can imagine that I didn’t have much free time this weekend.  However, I burned through my DVR and got all the picks, all the results, and here’s how it looks.  A pretty good week overall for our panel of experts.  This week’s big winners are Jesse Palmer (6-0), Lee Corso (12-1), Bo Jackson (9-1), and my girlfriend Jennifer who went on a MONSTER run going 17-3 this week.  Our losers this week were Howie Schwab (who continues to slide after an 0-2 week), and Matt Stinchcomb (0-3 this week, but come on man. You can’t pick ALL upsets).  We’re getting close to bowl season, and that’s where legends are made, so keep your ears listening to our updates here and on Twitter @gamedaycole
