Week 7 2018: #CFB picks w/ Phil Steele!

Here’s the week 7 picks from Phil Steele on the Behind the Bets podcast with Doug Kezirian which dropped today.  Phil usually puts out picks on the Campus Conversation podcast as well, so when those make their appearance I will update the picks for you.  I’ve got a link below for you to hear the full episode.  Phil also had a lean on Ohio State-29.5 because Doug made him choose, so do with that what you will.

They were all over the road again giving leans and opinions on games but the official picks are below.  Stanford Steve had a lean on the Washington/Oregon over 57.5.  The Bear had Northwestern/Nebraska as his biggest stay-away game this week.  He said this is the biggest differential between the FPI spread and Vegas line, so somebody knows something on this one.

Week 6 2018: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Good evening college football fans.  We are back with the results from all of our expert pickers and prognosticators for week 6 of our 2018 college football season.

Winners this week included David Pollack (4-0), Stanford Steve (4-1 straight up, 4-0-1 ATS), Andrea Adelson (6-3), and Scott Spreitzer (2-1 ATS).  You’re probably wondering how Stanford Steve didn’t win this week, but we had a pretty incredible performance this week.  Phil Steele got off to a rough start on the year, but he absolutely blew the door off of the picks this week.  Phil went 9-3 straight up, but it was his 14-2 record against the spread this week which earns him the top spot.  Congratulations to Phil Steele on a huge week.

Losers this week included Gene Chizik (2-4), Ryan McGee (1-3), Ivan Maisel (1-3), and Rufus Peabody (2-3 ATS), Jeff Ma (2-3 ATS).  However this week’s loss is going to Bruce Feldman, who had a 7-4 week straight up but went 4-7 against the spread.

Lee Corso went 7-6 on his picks this week, including a loss on the Oklahoma headgear pick.  Special guest celebrity Toby Keith also went 7-6 on the week.  Bear’s Bank had a tough week going 0-3 on the Gameday picks. @GamedaJen booked another winner at 9-6 on the week.

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