Week 9 2019: #CFBPicks from Stanford Steve & The Bear!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Before going any further, let me state this again.  I cannot make this any more clear and I still get complaints every week about this.  THESE ARE NOT THE OFFICIAL PICKS FROM STANFORD STEVE AND THE BEAR.  I do not advertise these as official picks.  I do not claim these as official picks.  I do not grade these as official picks.  Their official picks are published every Thursday morning on ESPN Chalk, and if you want their official picks then you need to subscribe and go get them yourself.  I cannot post their ESPN+ subscription content.  The picks below are from their podcast, which usually estimates the official ESPN Chalk picks pretty closely.  None of the picks below are official, but this is how they are leaning on each game.

By continuing to read below you are entering a legally binding contract with GamedayCole Enterprises to not bitch and moan at me about the picks below differing from their ESPN Chalk column.

With that being said, enjoy the picks and thanks for reading!

Stanford Steve:

Date Pick
10/26/19 Clemson vs Boston College Over 58
10/26/19 Minnesota vs Maryland Over 56.5
10/26/19 Notre Dame + 1 vs Michigan
10/26/19 South Carolina  -4 vs Tennessee
10/26/19 TCU + 1 vs Texas
10/26/19 Air Force vs Utah State Over 58

The Bear’s podcast leans:

Date Pick
10/26/19 Alabama vs Arkansas Under 56
10/26/19 California + 21.5 vs Utah
10/26/19 Temple + 10.5 vs UCF
10/26/19 TCU + 1 vs Texas
10/26/19 Texas Tech  -4 vs Kansas

These picks are from Chris Fallica on Daily Wager this week for your review:

Date Pick
10/26/19 Alabama vs Arkansas Under 56
10/26/19 Utah  -20.5 vs California
10/26/19 Indiana + 2.5 vs Nebraska
10/26/19 TCU + 1 vs Texas
10/26/19 Texas State + 11.5 vs Arkansas State

Week 8 2019: #CFBPicks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 8 picks from our expert panel of predictors and prognosticators are graded and the results are ready for your review.

Our sole winner this week is Bruce Feldman for going 11-1 straight up and 8-4 ATS on his picks.  This is a rare occurrence so we congratulate him on this heroic effort picking college football games.

Lee Corso had a great week going 11-3 and winning his headgear pick Penn State over Michigan.  Super Dog picks went a collective 1-3 but Corso won his pick (Baylor).  The Bear had a tough, tough week going 0-3 on the Bear’s Board picks and 1-5 ATS overall.  Special celebrity guest Lara Spencer had very little to offer in the way of analysis in making her picks but she went 9-4 on the week anyways.  @GamedayJen had a big winning week at 15-4 on her picks.

The full slate of results can be found below so check it out to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
