Week 1 2025: CFB gambling picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on September 2, 2025September 2, 2025 by gamedaycole

Week 1 of our college football season is in the books and the picks from our gamblers are graded. For simplicity’s sake I’m combining weeks 0 and 1 in these results.

ATS winners this week include Geoff Schwartz (4-0), Bud Elliott (7-3), and Chris “The Bear” Fallica (7-3). However, Dan “Big Cat” Katz of Barstool Sports sprayed the board and went 24-18 to barely squeak out a little more profit than the other leaders this week. Congratulations to Dan Katz on a winning week.

Collin Wilson of the Action Network nailed two money line picks this week for the most profit in the money line picks this week.

Everyone else is somewhere in the mix so check out the full slate of results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.

Week 1 2025: CFB analyst picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on September 2, 2025September 2, 2025 by gamedaycole

Week 1 of our college football season is in the books, and the picks from our esteemed panel of analysts are graded. As a reminder, these are straight-up picks; not against the spread. I’m also combining week 0 and week 1 for simplicity’s sake.

Winners this week include Danny Kanell (13-2), Richard Johnson (19-4) and Andrea Adelson (13-3). However, this week’s undisputed winner was Tom Fornelli of Cover 3 podcast fame for going 24-2 on his picks this week. Congratulations to Tom on a great winning week.

Lee Corso went 6-0 on his picks this week, including a win in his final headgear selection Ohio State over Texas. He finishes out a wonderful career going 287-144 (66.59%) on his headgear picks and 2383-1243-1 (65.72%) overall. Yes, he tied a game many years ago. Congratulations to Coach Corso on a wonderful career.
