Week 4 saw an exciting schedule of games and promised to be a tough slate of games to predict.  Results were mixed as expected with some of our experts trending up and some continuing to spiral downward.  Let’s get right to it.

Winners this week included Kirk Herbstreit (9-5), Desmond Howard (11-3), Andrea Adelson (7-3), Charles Arbuckle (11-4), Dusty Dvoracke (4-0 straight up, 3-2 ATS), Paul Finebaum (5-1), Pat Forde (19-5 straight up, but 1-2 ATS), Danny Kanell (6-2 straight up but 2-2 ATS), and Phil Steele (15-5 straight up, but 8-8 ATS).  However this week’s undisputed winner was @GamedayJen who killed it going 13-3 this week on a tough slate of games to pick.  Congratulations to Jen; keep an eye out for that congratulatory basket of mini-muffins which is on the way!

Losers this week were all over the place.  It was a tough week to pick games, and even tougher against the spread for our experts.  David Pollack, Tim Tebow and Chris Doering went 2-3 on their picks, while Joey Galloway and Booger McFarland went 3-4 on the week.  Dari Nowkhah went 0-2 straight up and 0-2 ATS.  Your boy SVP went 2-3 ATS on the week.  However the co-Losers of the Week are going to have to be Stanford Steve and the Bear Chris Fallica.  They are on a death spiral of historic proportions this season… at least on my blog.  The Bear in particular has made it known that his strategy in picking games (particularly against the spread) is that if he picks an underdog to cover, he’s picking them to win on the field.  He’s picking those straight up winners at a 53.57% clip and against the spread at 32.05%.  Stanford Steve is picking straight up at 54.17% and 34.21% against the spread this season, so they are neck-and-neck this year.  I know as well as anyone that there are swings picking against the spread, so this will surely improve as the season continues.  Unfortunately for them, they can share the dunce cap this week.

Lee Corso went 7-5 on the week including a loss in his headgear pick.  Special guests Phillip Fulmer and Steve Spurrier went 5-6 and 6-5, respectively.  The Gameday Baby picked up another win going with Tennessee, meaning she has a one game lead on Corso this season.  Everyone else is somewhere in between so check out the full slate of results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
