Week 10 2018: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Its time for the week 10 results from our expert panel of predictors and prognosticators.

Winners this week included Paul Finebaum (6-1), Pat Forde (5-1 ATS), Kirk Herbstreit (11-3), Mark May (7-2), Phil Steele (7-5), Brett McMurphy (6-1 ATS), Lou Holtz (8-1), Rufus Peabody (4-1 ATS), Danny Kanell (6-2 ATS), The Bear (5-2 ATS), Stanford Steve (4-2 ATS), and Rick Neuheisel (7-3).  However this week’s big win is going to go to Dusty Dvoracek at 5-0 against the spread on his picks this week.

Losers this week include Marcus Spears (2-3), Tim Cowlishaw (1-4 ATS), Scott Spreitzer (1-4 ATS), Stewart Mandel (3-8 ATS), Dave Portnoy (5-9 ATS), Dan Katz (5-9 ATS), and Bruce Feldman (5-6 ATS).  Cowlishaw and Spreitzer can share this week’s loss in my book.

Coach Corso had a great week at 12-2 on his picks, including winning his headgear pick Alabama over LSU.  Special guest celebrity Alex Bregman went 7-6 on his picks this week, but I honestly would have guessed he did worse based on how many games he faded the Gameday crew.  @GamedayJen was near the top this week at 14-3, continuing her dominance this season.  The Bear went 1-2 on the week but still posted a winning week at 5-2 overall against the spread.  Everyone else is somewhere in between, so check out the full grades below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.

Week 9 2018: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Week 9 of our college football season is in the books, and that means our picks and predictions are graded.  We had quite a few upsets which made for some tough performances this week.  Let’s get to it.

Winners this week were in short supply but include Marcus Spears (4-1), Andrea Adelson (7-4), Jeff Ma (4-1 ATS), Steve Coughlin (3-1 ATS), Scott Spreitzer (2-1 ATS), and Dusty Dvoracek (3-2 ATS).  However this week’s official win goes to Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica going 5-1 against the spread this week.

Losers this week were plentiful, and include Jesse Palmer (1-3), Chris Doering (2-3), Mark May (4-5), Bruce Feldman (5-6 straight up, 5-6 ATS), Rufus Peabody (2-3 ATS), and Danny Kanell (3-4 ATS).  Our official loss this week will be shared by Pat Forde and his partner Pete Thamel for both going 2-4 ATS.

Lee Corso booked his first overall losing week this year going 6-8 on his picks, and losing his headgear pick Florida over Georgia.  Bear’s Bank went 3-0 again this week, so he’s heating up down the stretch this season.  Special guest celebrity Evander Holyfield went 8-6 on his picks this week.  @GamedayJen squeaked out with a winner this week at 9-6.  Everyone else was somewhere in the middle, so check out the full results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
