Week 10 2016: #CFB picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 10 picks have been graded and it is time once again to review the results.

Winners this week included Desmond Howard (10-3), Andrea Adelson (6-1), Charles Arbuckle (14-5), Stanford Steve (5-0 straight up, 4-2 ATS), and Joey Galloway (6-1).  We had some strong straight up performances followed up by less-than-stellar results picking against the spread from some of the following:  Dusty Dvoracek (4-1 straight up, 2-3 ATS), Chris Fallica (5-1 straight up, 5-5 ATS), Bruce Feldman (10-2 straight up, 3-9 ATS), Pat Forde (3-1 straight up, 1-2 ATS), Danny Kanell (4-0 straight up, 0-3 ATS), and Phil Steele (26-5 straight up, 15-9-2 ATS).  Looks like Vegas won again this week picking ATS.  However, this week’s winner, and the winner of 5 of the last 7 weeks is once again @GamedayJen who booked an 11-3 week.  She is out for blood until ESPN agrees to bring her on as a special guest picker on College Gameday, and she continues to rack up the big wins this season.  She has won too much lately so I am out of prizes, thus she can look forward to some pads of sticky notes, a box of pens, and a stapler I swiped from work.

Losers this week were few and far between even though we had a lot of VERY average results.  Since none of our main competitors booked a losing week, we will take this opportunity to point out that Rece Davis continues to throw triple and quadruple NOT-SO-FASTS at us most weeks on a game or two, and his results have been shown why he is hte only one picking double-digit underdogs to win every week.  He thought Northwestern would pull it out against Wisconsin this week, but they failed to even cover just like most of his recent picks.  Sorry Rece, but the dunce cap is being shipped to your house as we speak.

Coach Corso missed another headgear pick this week going with LSU over Alabama.  However he is still winning on the year at 7-3 for his headgear picks.  Special guest picker Lil Wayne tied Frank Caliendo’s season-high record at 8-2 on the year, which is surprising considering how little effort Mr. Wayne put into his appearance.  He pretty much looked like he either just rolled out of bed or was headed to bed.  I guess it makes sense since Caliendo had such little meaningful input as well.

Week 9 2016: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 9 brought us another great Saturday full of fantastic college football games.  2016 is truly the gift that keeps on giving, at least as far as college football goes.  As we head into week 10, let’s look back at how week 9’s picks sorted themselves out.

Winners this week included Lee Corso (9-2), Tim Tebow (4-1), Paul Finebaum (5-2), Chris Fallica (6-2 straight up, 10-2 ATS), Bruce Feldman (8-4 straight up, 8-4 ATS), and Scott Van Pelt (7-2 ATS).  However, this week’s official win (for those of you playing along at home) is going to go to Phil Steele.  Phil booked a 20-6 record straight up and went 15-9 against the spread.  Congratulations to Phil, you can expect a complimentary coupon book in the mail for being this week’s GamedayCole.com Winner of the Week.

Losers this week included Chris Doering (1-3), Mike Golic (0-3), and a questionable 5-4 performance from Kirk Herbstreit.  However this week’s official loss will be credited to Desmond Howard who had a solid 4-6 record this week.  He had a few bold predictions, but none bolder than Nebraska (a 10 point underdog) beating Wisconsin by DOUBLE DIGITS.  The dunce cap is coming back to action this week and heading to Desmond’s room at the Heisman House.

Coach Corso got his headgear pick right again, and he is having a great year after last year’s disaster.  He is off to a 7-2 start including a five game winning streak.  @GamedayJen booked another win this week at 7-4, and she still controls her own destiny in the hunt for this year’s championship.  Special guest celebrity Frank Caliendo showed up to do his John Madden impersonation and read someone else’s picks off of a sheet of paper, but I have to give him credit for a great 8-2 record this week.  I believe that nudges him into 1st place amongst celebrity guests this year.

Week 6 2016: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

After a long holiday weekend we are back up and running with your week 6 picks and predictions graded for all to see.

Winners this week included Lee Corso (7-3), Andrea Adelson (5-2), Charles Arbuckle (12-5), Chris Doering (4-1), Chris Fallica (7-1 straight up, 8-2 ATS), Paul Finebaul (5-0), Joey Galloway (6-1), Danny Kanell (7-0 straight up, 1-1-1 ATS), Booger McFarland (5-2), Marcus Spears (5-0), Phil Steele (19-4 straight up, 12-7-1 ATS), and Tim Tebow (4-1).  Our biggest winner on the week is newcomer Dusty Dvoracek who went 4-0 straight up and 5-1 against the spread!  Congratulations Dusty, the congratulatory cookie bouquet is on the way.

Losers this week included Stanford Steve, who went 3-3 straight up and 3-4 against the spread.  However we will have to give the official loss to your boy SVP who went 2-4 against the spread on Winners last week.

Corso is back on track this week picking Texas A&M to beat Tennessee for his headgear pick.  The special guest celebrity pickers known as the Chain Smokers went 4-5 on the week, basically following Desmond Howard’s picks and showing little interest in College Gameday or sports as a whole.  Jennifer’s two week streak as weekly champion came to an end this week but she still booked a winner at 8-5.
