Week 3 2018: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen.  Week 3 had some really exciting games with some good upsets, and it made for an interesting week for all of our expert pickers and prognosticators.  Let’s dive right in.

Winners this week included Paul Finebaum (5-1), Bruce Feldman’s straight up picks (9-2), Lou Holtz (7-2), and Andrea Adelson (9-3).  Our official win this week goes to Rufus Peabody, with a sharp 5-0 week against the spread this week.  Congratulations to Rufus Peabody in whichever foreign port he resides in this week.

Losers this week include Kirk Herbstreit (7-6) and Mark May (6-5), but our big loss this week goes to Phil Steele (3-6 straight up, 1-7 ATS).  Sorry Phil, but that’s a tough week by any standards.

Coach Corso had a nice win going 8-3 on the week, and he nailed his headgear pick of Ohio State over TCU.  Special guest celebrity Roman Reigns went a very meh 6-4 on the week.  Bear’s Bank went 1-2 on the week (Fallica was 3-3 overall ATS).  @GamedayJen went 10-5 and pulled out a win after a rough start in the early games.  Everyone else is somewhere out there in the middle, so check out the full results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.

Week 2 2018: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Welcome back everyone.  It was a great weekend of college football with some great predictions, great results, and some not so great results.  Let’s dive right in.

Winners this week include Paul Finebaum (5-1), Andrea Adelson (13-4), Heather Dinich (4-0), and Mark Schlabach (4-0).  However, we are going to officially crown dual winners this week.  Stanford Steve and Pat Forde both went 5-1 ATS, with Stanford Steve going 6-0 straight up and Pat Forde going 5-0 straight up.  Congratulations to both.

Losers this week include Mark May (4-5), Phil Steele (5-5 straight up, 4-5 ATS), Desmond Howard (7-6), and Lou Holtz (5-4).  However, this week’s undisputed loser was your boy SVP who bombed it with a 1-6 record ATS on his WINNERS segment this week.  Tough break this weekend, but he will dig himself out by season end.

Coach Corso had a tough week going 7-5 on the week, but enjoyed a headgear pick with Clemson edging out the Aggies Saturday night.  Special guest picker Owen Gray went 6-5 on the week.  @GamedayJen went 8-6 on the week.  So lots of experts ended up above .500 but it was a tough slate to pick this week.  Everyone else is somewhere in the middle so check out the full slate below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
