Week 13 2017: #RivalryWeek picks are graded; results are in!

Welcome back everyone.  As we close out the regular season with sadness, it is time to review the rivalry week picks and results.

Winners this week included Andrea Adelson (7-2), Gene Chizik (6-1), Pat Forde (8-3), Danny Kanell (4-1 straight up, 4-1 ATS), Booger McFarland (7-0), Dari Nowkhah (5-0 straight up, 2-1 ATS), and Kirk Herbstreit (8-1).  This week’s official win is going to none other than professional gambler extraordinaire Rufus Peabody, who after several weeks as the official loser, has posted a 6-0 record against the spread this week.  Pretty impressive stuff.

Losers this week included Marcus Spears (3-4), Chris Fallica (4-5 straight up, 1-7 ATS, 0-1 ML), Scott Spreitzer (0-3 ATS), and Scott Van Pelt (2-6 ATS).  This week’s official loss gets credited to one of the hottest pickers this season, Stanford Steve Coughlin, who went 2-3 straight up, 0-5 against the spread, and 0-1 on the moneyline.  He still killed it during the regular season, but that’s a tough one pal.

Coach Corso went 6-3 on the week, but missed out on his headgear pick and super dog.  Special guest celebrity Charles Barkley went 4-5 on the week but got the Auburn pick right (and nearly nailed his Michigan upset).  @GamedayJen went 6-4 on the week, picking the Auburn upset in tandem with Charles Barkley just like the kick six game.

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