Week 6 2018: #CFB Picks w/ Phil Steele!

Phil Steele was on the Behind the Bets podcast with Doug Kezirian today as a special guest and he gave out some picks for those of you who tuned in.  Check them out below, and if Phil gives out any others this week we will update this post.

He added Florida State+14 vs Miami (FL) on the Campus Conversation podcast.  He had a lean on Texas A&M-5.5 vs Kentucky and Colorado-2 vs Arizona State, but he didn’t outright lay the points with either game.

On his Phil Steele Plus preview this week he gave out a handful of other picks including:

Miss St+3.5 vs Auburn

Arizona+2 vs Cal
Iowa St+10 vs Okla St

Week 6 2018: #CFB Picks with Stanford Steve & Chris Fallica!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to week 6 of your college football season.  Here’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for.  The picks are in from celebrity superstars Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica and Stanford Steve Coughlin. Listen to the whole podcast before investing in these please, but enjoy them either way.

The Bear said STAY AWAY from Syracuse/Pitt.  He said it the biggest disparity between the Vegas line and FPI line (FPI had Syracuse-10!!!) and he said it stinks big time, so stay away.  Stanford Steve had a lean on the Syracuse/Pitt over.

Stanford Steve gave a lean on Utah+5.5 but said he wasn’t sure if it was official for his ESPN Chalk article yet.  He wanted to give out Iowa-7 but said he’s scared off by his own rule of never laying more than 6 with Iowa.

Bear wanted to give out Florida but said something worried him about this one.  They gave a few more mentions to some leans but those were the main games discussed.

Chris Fallica:

Date Pick
10/6/18 Arizona State+2.5 vs Colorado
10/6/18 Air Force+3.5 vs Navy
10/6/18 Massachusetts+14 vs South Florida
10/6/18 Utah+5.5 vs Stanford
10/5/18 Utah State+2.5 vs BYU

Steve Coughlin:

Date Pick
10/6/18 Alabama vs Arkansas over 59
10/6/18 Texas A&M-6 vs Kentucky
10/6/18 Northwestern+11 vs Michigan State
10/5/18 Georgia Tech-4 vs Louisville

 

Week 5 2018: #CFB Picks w/ Chris Fallica & Stanford Steve!

Hello everyone.  The moment you’ve all been waiting for has arrived. The picks are in from celebrity superstars Chris Fallica and Stanford Steve Coughlin via their Behind the Bets podcast.  At the end of the podcast the Bear gave out Wyoming “plus the big number” (17ish) vs Boise State, but it wasn’t clear that this was an official pick.  I’ll know later today when their article on ESPN Chalk comes out.

Just a little note because I have been asked about this a lot recently:  I only post the picks from the Behind the Bets podcast; not ESPN Chalk.  Stanford Steve has made it clear on the podcast that his official picks for tracking purposes are in the ESPN Chalk article put out on Thursdays.  Sometimes the guys pick more or less games in the official Chalk article, and sometimes lines move by the time the Chalk article drops.  I grade the official picks on the Chalk article in my records, but I don’t post the Chalk picks because it is their paid content.  So on Sunday if you notice their weekly records don’t add up to these picks below, that is probably why.

Chris Fallica:

Date Pick
9/29/18 Connecticut+17 vs Cincinnati
9/29/18 San Jose State+12.5 vs Hawaii
9/29/18 California+2.5/3 vs Oregon
9/29/18 Fresno State-7.5 vs Toledo

Stanford Steve Coughlin:

Date Pick
9/29/18 Air Force-6.5 vs Nevada
9/29/18 Penn State vs Ohio State under 71.5
9/29/18 Purdue vs Nebraska over 57.5
9/29/18 Southern California-3.5 vs Arizona
9/29/18 Syracuse+25 vs Clemson
9/29/18 Temple+13.5 vs Boston College
