Week 11 2018: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Week 11 picks and predictions are graded an the results are in.  Let’s dive right in.

Winners this week included David Pollack (5-0), Tim Tebow (6-1), Mark May (8-2), Desmond Howard (11-3), Lou Holtz (7-2), Stewart Mandel (8-3 straight up), Kirk Herbstreit (11-4), Chris Doering (5-2), and Marcus Spears (5-2).  In fact, I only had one lone expert in the loss column this week picking straight up, and it was Joel Klatt (1-2).  We had lots of ATS winners too, including Brett McMurphy (6-1 ATS), Dusty Dvoracek (4-1 ATS), Rufus Peabody (3-1-1 ATS), Dave Portnoy (9-5-1 ATS), Dan Katz (9-5-2 ATS), and lots more.  I’m giving this week’s official win as a split decision between Paul Finebaum (10-0) and @GamedayJen (13-1), so congratulations to both.

Losers were few and far between, so Pat Forde takes it this week at 2-4 against the spread.

Lee Corso went 9-4 on his picks this week, including a win with Clemson over Boston College in the headgear pick.  Special guest celebrity Chris O’Donnell had a great week at 10-3, but hopefully the Chainsmokers will be available again soon.  Bear’s Bank went 1-2 on the week, with Fallica going 3-4 ATS overall.

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

Week 10 2018: #CFB Picks from Barstool Sports Pick’em!

Alright folks.  I’ve had quite a few requests for picks from Barstool Sports.  I put a poll out on Twitter and it was about 50/50 as to whether people wanted these picks, so I’m going to try it out and see how it goes.  I had to listen to their week 10 Pick ‘Em podcast like four times to get the picks because I don’t know their voices and the whole show they’re yelling at each other.  I’m new to their podcast and don’t know anything about the guys so hopefully I got this right.    Keep the feedback coming whether you’d like more of these guys or not.
