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.
