Week 12 2018: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

The week 12 college football grades are in.  Let’s examine.

Winners this week include Andrea Adelson (9-2), Lou Holtz (8-2), Phil Steele (12-3 straight up, 13-6 ATS), Kirk Herbstreit (11-4), Rick Neuheisel (7-3), Rufus Peabody (4-1 ATS), and Scott Spreitzer (4-1 ATS).  However, after splitting a weekly win last week, @GamedayJen sits atop the throne going 13-3 on picks this week.  That’s two in a row and three overall this season, so I expect her to get called up to ESPN any day.

Losers this week include Scott Van Pelt (3-5 ATS), Dan Katz (4-6 ATS), Stanford Steve (2-3 ATS), and Brett McMurphy (3-4 ATS).  However this week’s loss definitely goes to Bruce Feldman at 5-6 straight up; 3-7 ATS.

Lee Corso posted a big win at 12-3, including a win with this headgear pick UCF over Cincinnati.  Special guest celebrity Maury Povich had a nice winning week at 10-4.  The Bear had a losing week 3-4 ATS, but Bear’s Bank went 2-1 on the week.  Everyone else was somewhere in between to check out the results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.

Week 11 2018: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Week 11 picks and predictions are graded an the results are in.  Let’s dive right in.

Winners this week included David Pollack (5-0), Tim Tebow (6-1), Mark May (8-2), Desmond Howard (11-3), Lou Holtz (7-2), Stewart Mandel (8-3 straight up), Kirk Herbstreit (11-4), Chris Doering (5-2), and Marcus Spears (5-2).  In fact, I only had one lone expert in the loss column this week picking straight up, and it was Joel Klatt (1-2).  We had lots of ATS winners too, including Brett McMurphy (6-1 ATS), Dusty Dvoracek (4-1 ATS), Rufus Peabody (3-1-1 ATS), Dave Portnoy (9-5-1 ATS), Dan Katz (9-5-2 ATS), and lots more.  I’m giving this week’s official win as a split decision between Paul Finebaum (10-0) and @GamedayJen (13-1), so congratulations to both.

Losers were few and far between, so Pat Forde takes it this week at 2-4 against the spread.

Lee Corso went 9-4 on his picks this week, including a win with Clemson over Boston College in the headgear pick.  Special guest celebrity Chris O’Donnell had a great week at 10-3, but hopefully the Chainsmokers will be available again soon.  Bear’s Bank went 1-2 on the week, with Fallica going 3-4 ATS overall.

Week 10 2018: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Its time for the week 10 results from our expert panel of predictors and prognosticators.

Winners this week included Paul Finebaum (6-1), Pat Forde (5-1 ATS), Kirk Herbstreit (11-3), Mark May (7-2), Phil Steele (7-5), Brett McMurphy (6-1 ATS), Lou Holtz (8-1), Rufus Peabody (4-1 ATS), Danny Kanell (6-2 ATS), The Bear (5-2 ATS), Stanford Steve (4-2 ATS), and Rick Neuheisel (7-3).  However this week’s big win is going to go to Dusty Dvoracek at 5-0 against the spread on his picks this week.

Losers this week include Marcus Spears (2-3), Tim Cowlishaw (1-4 ATS), Scott Spreitzer (1-4 ATS), Stewart Mandel (3-8 ATS), Dave Portnoy (5-9 ATS), Dan Katz (5-9 ATS), and Bruce Feldman (5-6 ATS).  Cowlishaw and Spreitzer can share this week’s loss in my book.

Coach Corso had a great week at 12-2 on his picks, including winning his headgear pick Alabama over LSU.  Special guest celebrity Alex Bregman went 7-6 on his picks this week, but I honestly would have guessed he did worse based on how many games he faded the Gameday crew.  @GamedayJen was near the top this week at 14-3, continuing her dominance this season.  The Bear went 1-2 on the week but still posted a winning week at 5-2 overall against the spread.  Everyone else is somewhere in between, so check out the full grades below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
