Week 11 2019: #CFBpicks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 11 picks are graded and the results are in.  Winners this week are Lee Corso at 11-1 straight up and Bill Connelly’s ESPN Chalk picks at 4-0 ATS.

Corso got his headgear pick correct going with an upset in LSU over Alabama.  Special guest celebrity Justin Thomas went 5-7.  Super Dog picks went a collective 3-1 against the number.  Bear’s Board went 2-2 this week on a special FOUR GAME BEAR’S BOARD!!!  Too bad that last minute addition of Alabama on the board cost him a winning week on his official Bear’s Board/Bear’s Bank picks.  Fallica actually went 6-3 on his picks overall this week so congratulations to Bear.  @GamedayJen went 11-3 on the week and got barely edged out by Corso for the win this week.  Joey Galloway is on a historical run with his Virtual Locks going 2-0 again this week and putting him at 15-3 ATS this season.

Everyone else is somewhere in between so check out the full results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
