Week 2 2019: #CFB Picks w/ Brett McMurphy!

I’ve had lots of questions about Brett McMurphy’s picks this year.  He’s posting them on the Stadium website and they put out a video on their Twitter some weeks.  Follow them on Twitter and check out their website if you want to feel the power of the Brett McMurphy mustache.

Brett McMurphy:

Date Pick
9/7/19 California + 13.5 vs Washington
9/7/19 LSU  -4 vs Texas
9/7/19 Hawaii vs Oregon State Over 78
9/7/19 Texas Tech  -34 vs UTEP
9/7/19 Missouri  -14 vs West Virginia

Week 1 2019: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in (corrected)

I posted grades last night and was quickly informed they contained a number of errors.  I wrote a new grading script in the offseason and forgot to account for one teeny tiny aspect of neutral site games and it blew things apart for week 1.  I think I’ve got the script fixed and here are the corrected grades.  If you find any other errors please make sure to roast me on social media as usual.
