Week 11 2025: CFB gambling picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on November 12, 2025November 12, 2025 by gamedaycole

Week 11 of our college football season is in the books and the picks from our esteemed panel of gamblers are graded. We are running a day late this week, so I offer my apologies to everyone. I’ll blame the YoutubeTV/Disney dispute.

Winners this week include Bud Elliott (10-4) and Kenny White (6-1), but our undisputed winner this week is Stanford Steve at 7-1 this week. He went 2-1 on the board on College Gameday this week, and managed a 5-0 run on ESPN BET Live picking games. Congratulations to Stanford Steve on a great winning week.

Super Dog picks went 4-2 on College Gameday this week, with Desmond and Pat being the losers. Scott Van Pelt’s WINNERS went 3-2. Josh Pate’s Ramen Noodle Express went 7-4.

Tom Fornelli had an impressive winning week in the money line picks, with a profit 8.7 units across 6 picks. Congratulations to Tom Fornelli on a great winning 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.
