Big winners this week included Rico Bosco and Pamela Maldonado, but for the second week in a row our biggest winner was Dan Katz AKA Barstool Big Cat coming in at 21-9 ATS.

Week 1 2025: CFB gambling picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on September 2, 2025September 2, 2025 by gamedaycole

Week 1 of our college football season is in the books and the picks from our gamblers are graded. For simplicity’s sake I’m combining weeks 0 and 1 in these results.

ATS winners this week include Geoff Schwartz (4-0), Bud Elliott (7-3), and Chris “The Bear” Fallica (7-3). However, Dan “Big Cat” Katz of Barstool Sports sprayed the board and went 24-18 to barely squeak out a little more profit than the other leaders this week. Congratulations to Dan Katz on a winning week.

Collin Wilson of the Action Network nailed two money line picks this week for the most profit in the money line picks this week.
