This season ESPN has revamped their existing college football podcast and called it the College Gameday podcast. Your hosts on Fridays are going to be Rece Davis, the newly acquired Pete Thamel, and Bill Connelly. They will be picking games against the spread and competing for steak because they like steak and I like steak too. Below are their week 0 picks against the spread.

Note: I am NOT counting these in Bill Connelly’s official pick record unless he makes it clear these are official picks. During the season he usually releases his weekly SP+ projections and puts official picks on ESPN Chalk. These guys on the podcast are competing for fun and picking the same slate of games so I doubt very much these are worth playing, but this is where he stands on these games at least.

Rece Davis:
Utah State-27.5 vs UConn
Charlotte+8 vs FAU
Hawaii+8 vs Vanderbilt
Illinois-11 vs Wyoming
Northwestern+13 vs Nebraska

Pete Thamel:
Utah State-27.5 vs UConn
FAU-8 vs Charlotte
Hawaii+8 vs Vanderbilt
Illinois-11 vs Wyoming
Northwestern+13 vs Nebraska

Bill Connelly:
I think he picked the Utah State/UConn under but didn’t specify a line
Charlotte+8 vs FAU
Hawaii+8 vs Vanderbilt
Illinois-11 vs Wyoming
Nebraska-13 vs Northwestern
