Week 1 is officially in the books after the Monday night finale. The gambling picks are graded, and this season I will be doing separate posts for the grades on gambling picks and straight up picks. Without further adieu, here’s the gambling grades for week 1.
We had lots of big winners and lots of big losers this week, with everything in between. Bear’s Board went 3-0 on the week, with Chris Fallica tallying up a 6-1 week on ESPN Chalk. Super Dog picks went 3-2 against the number, with Herbie and Rece being the losers. Virtual Locks with Matt Barrie replacing Jesse Palmer managed an impressive 0-4 combined. I tallied up a ridiculous 43 game card for Dave Portnoy, which landed at 19-21-3 (I don’t track first half lines, so his card was actually bigger). Winners from SVP went 4-1. However, this week’s undisputed gambling champion is Dan Wetzel who went 7-0 against the number on picks last week. Congratulations to Dan and be sure to check out the Yahoo College Football Enquirer podcast for his picks.
I also included the week 1 results for all those money line sprinkles but don’t really have a champion for the week. I guess Rico Bosco wins it for a single +195 dog which hit for the biggest total profit this week. All money line picks are assumed to be a one unit play for grading purposes.
Check out the full slate of results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
With the 2020-21 College Football Championship complete, our COVID football season is in the books. The picks have been graded. Now we have arrived at a day which is tradition like none other. This is the day where I have a couple of bourbons, look at the results and arbitrarily pick a winner based on undefined and vague criteria.
Without further adieu, I present to you our 2020-21 Season Champions!
Coming in at 39-23 against the spread, an impressive 62.9%, Brady Quinn is your yearly champion! He picked games on a new “Win with Quinn” segment on Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff, as well as dropping picks for you on CBSSportsHQ.com. Congratulations Brady Quinn on your incredible year!
Coming in at 95-30 picking games straight up on Twitter, David Hale is our yearly champion for picking straight up winners. Others may have had a higher percentage, but he had the highest percentage of pickers with 100+ picks and that’s my trivial criteria this year.
Coming in at 25.42% ROI, up 7.88 units (if all plays were single units), and picking 31 games, Danny Kanell is your first ever GamedayCole.com Money Line yearly champion.
Congratulations to all competitors and I hope to see you all back next year.
