Week 1 of our college football season is in the books, and the picks from our esteemed panel of analysts are graded. As a reminder, these are straight-up picks; not against the spread. I’m also combining week 0 and week 1 for simplicity’s sake.
Winners this week include Danny Kanell (13-2), Richard Johnson (19-4) and Andrea Adelson (13-3). However, this week’s undisputed winner was Tom Fornelli of Cover 3 podcast fame for going 24-2 on his picks this week. Congratulations to Tom on a great winning week.
Lee Corso went 6-0 on his picks this week, including a win in his final headgear selection Ohio State over Texas. He finishes out a wonderful career going 287-144 (66.59%) on his headgear picks and 2383-1243-1 (65.72%) overall. Yes, he tied a game many years ago. Congratulations to Coach Corso on a wonderful career.
The 2024-25 college football season has come to a close with Ohio State defeating Notre Dame for the championship on Monday night. That means we are now ready to award our own championship for picking college football games as well as hand out some awards.
I am very proud to announce the 2024-25 college football gambling champion is none other than Chris “The Bear” Fallica from Fox Sports. This season he went 84-60-3 against the spread for a profit of 16.28 units on sides/totals, and also profited 15.1 units over 85 picks on the money line this year. His grand total was 31.38 units of profit on his sides, totals and money line picks this year. Congratulations to the Bear on a fantastic year!
Rufus Peabody actually had the largest profit on sides and totals at 20.73 units with his picks on the Bet the Process podcast. He gets the official gold star for going 75% against the number. Joel Klatt was close behind at 63.33% for a profit of 18.82 units, and he will get the official red ribbon. I’m also awarding Collin Wilson and Wes Reynolds with a certificate of recognition for the most profit of all the “volume shooters”.
In the College Gameday Super Dog picks this year, Desmond Howard went 7-5 for the best record against the spread (I don’t keep track of all the point systems they use).

Week 15 is in the books and the picks from our gamblers are graded. Let’s jump right into the results.
Winners this week include Pamela Maldonado at 7-1, along with Tony Barnhart and Pate Forde at 5-1. However this week’s biggest profit is Dan Wetzel for going 6-0 against the spread this week. There is some controversy as Pat Forde noted one of Wetzel’s picks was verbally given out at a different line from the graphics on the screen, but I’m giving Wetzel the 6-0 week. Congratulations to Dan Wetzel on a great week.
Other results of note include Scott Van Pelt’s WINNERS going 2-3. Josh Pate’s Ramen Noodle Express went 0-3 on the week. Stanford Steve went 1-1 on the Gameday board this week. There were no Super Dog picks as their competition has come to an end. Rece Davis won this year’s competition.
Tom Fornelli continues to crush it in the money line picks this season, but Chris “The Bear” Fallica also had a good week on the money line.
Everyone else is somewhere in the mix so check out the full slate of results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week!
