Week 6 2012: Saturday morning picks!

Posted on October 6, 2012 by gamedaycole

We are up and running extra early this morning (with the help of a little extra caffeine) at the Gameday blog to play a little catchup from yesterday evening’s festivities. We are looking at a slate of games that is SO GOOD that it can only disappoint. The picks are going to be baking all day, and I will be pulling them straight out of the oven and posting them here as soon as they come in, so updates will be coming in often. As we speak, things are leaning a strong 18 to5 in favor of Florida over LSU, and 12 to 5 in favor of Georgia over South Carolina; the location of College Gameday today. In other news, our guys have Texas over WVU 13 to 5 at the moment. Make of that what you will.

Retraction: Lebron James

Posted on November 15, 2010 by gamedaycole

I had posted some picks from Lebron James as part of last week’s research and I will be posting a retraction of those results. Chris Fowler had an old article on ESPN.com saying Lebron went 7-3 on picks. After watching the video on Youtube I have graded his picks as the following:

Lebron James 10/25/08
LOSS Michigan over MichSt
WIN FSU over VaTech
LOSS GaTech over Virginia
WIN ND over Washington
LOSS Arizona over USC
LOSS LSU over Georgia
WIN Bama over Tennessee
WIN TTU over Kansas
WIN Texas over OkSt
LOSS Ohio State over PennSt

That brings him in at 5-5 so I’m not sure what Chris Fowler was smoking unless there was another appearance I was not aware of. The video is found here:

Week 11, 2010 Results

Posted on November 14, 2010 by gamedaycole

Here’s the slate from Week 11, 2010. Individual pages and overall standings are being updated. We’re welcoming Skip Bayless to the group and would like to give a big shoutout to Rick at the Reverse Bayless gambling system blog. You can find him at http://reversebaylessgambling.blogspot.com/. He is a true American hero as he fades Skip Bayless’ predictions each week and backs them up with his own hard cash.

As for this week, Desmond Howard finally had a monster week only picking one game wrong. Skip also had a pretty good week picking straight up (although Rick is still profiting nicely betting against the spread fading Skip). Corso and Herbstreit had solid weeks, and Derek Poundstone had an average week. Here’s the actual breakdown:

Skip Bayless: 7-1
