Week 7 2026: CFB gambling picks are graded; results are in!

Week 7 of our college football season is in the books and the picks from our gamblers are graded. Let’s jump right in.

Big winners this week included Clay Travis at 9-4 and David Bearman at 4-0. Our biggest winner of the week was Collin Wilson at 13-7. Congratulations to Collin on a great winning week.

Other results of note:

Dan Katz AKA Barstool Big Cat was poised to have his third week of the season as the biggest winner until he added a slate of late games and also switched his Kentucky pick to Oklahoma. He ended up going like 0-6 on the late changes to ruin those hopes in hilarious fashion.

Scott Van Pelt’s WINNERS went 3-5-1 on the week. Stanford Steve went 3-0 on the board on College Gameday. Josh Pate went 4-8 on the Ramen Noodle Express. Super Dogs went 3-3 with Desmond, Saban and McAfee booking winners.

In the money line picks, Emory Hunt was the biggest winner with a profit of 1.98 units (on only one pick). Congratulations to Emory on the most profitable money line week of the group.
