Week 1 2019: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in (corrected)

I posted grades last night and was quickly informed they contained a number of errors.  I wrote a new grading script in the offseason and forgot to account for one teeny tiny aspect of neutral site games and it blew things apart for week 1.  I think I’ve got the script fixed and here are the corrected grades.  If you find any other errors please make sure to roast me on social media as usual.
