Week 3 2012: Early Week Picks

Posted on September 13, 2012 by gamedaycole

Here’s some early week picks for everyone’s viewing pleasure. Its turned into a really slow week for picks. With Notre Dame joining the ACC (except in the only thing that matters: football), everyone is sitting around giving their generic opinions on this move by the Fighting Irish instead of breaking down games and picking winners. Here’s what we have so far, and I’ll update this post later if there’s more.

Week 10: Weekday picks

Posted on November 3, 2011 by gamedaycole

Here’s our picks as of Thursday afternoon. Everyone wants to get their official LSU/Alabama pick on the record so I expect to hear from damn near everyone I’ve ever tracked this week. I also wouldn’t be surprised if we had a few experts change their minds as Saturday night nears (Lou Holtz, I’m looking in your direction). Also, Pat Forde has officially left ESPN for Yahoo sports, but I’ll keep up with him from time to time since I enjoy his work. I’ll be back tomorrow with more updates, and as always, I post live picks as I see them on my Twitter @gamedaycole

Week 8, 2011 Results

Posted on October 24, 2011 by gamedaycole

Here’s the results from Week 8 of our 2011 season. The only ones who actually picked Michigan State to upset Wisconsin were Dan Hawkins (welcome to the rankings), Mateen Cleaves (who went to Michigan St.), Tim Cowlishaw and my girlfriend Jennifer. Most of the guys had very mediocre weeks hovering around 50%, so I’ll give this week’s win to Desmond Howard at 7-2. This week’s loss goes to Lou Holtz at 2-4 with a surprising 1-3 coming from Howie Schwab. I guess both OU and Wisconsin getting upset is the reason for the mediocre picks this week. Also I’d like to welcome Brock Huard back to the flock after his appearances on ESPNU this week. Enjoy.
