2018-19 CFB Season: Mid-season grades!

Posted on October 29, 2018 by gamedaycole

Welcome back everyone. We just completed week 9 of our 2018-19 college football season and that’s probably about halfway through the year. I’m not really sure. With a week 0, a single Army-Navy game in week 14, conference championship weekend, and bowl games, it is hard to tell. So yeah, I’m calling it halfway.

Every year I like to stop down halfway through the season and post the season grades and standings. The pressure is on down the home stretch to make big moves picking games since I assume all of these people read my blog. Here’s the mid-season grades. Enjoy.

Week 9 2018: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on October 29, 2018 by gamedaycole

Week 9 of our college football season is in the books, and that means our picks and predictions are graded. We had quite a few upsets which made for some tough performances this week. Let’s get to it.

Winners this week were in short supply but include Marcus Spears (4-1), Andrea Adelson (7-4), Jeff Ma (4-1 ATS), Steve Coughlin (3-1 ATS), Scott Spreitzer (2-1 ATS), and Dusty Dvoracek (3-2 ATS). However this week’s official win goes to Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica going 5-1 against the spread this week.

Losers this week were plentiful, and include Jesse Palmer (1-3), Chris Doering (2-3), Mark May (4-5), Bruce Feldman (5-6 straight up, 5-6 ATS), Rufus Peabody (2-3 ATS), and Danny Kanell (3-4 ATS). Our official loss this week will be shared by Pat Forde and his partner Pete Thamel for both going 2-4 ATS.

Lee Corso booked his first overall losing week this year going 6-8 on his picks, and losing his headgear pick Florida over Georgia. Bear’s Bank went 3-0 again this week, so he’s heating up down the stretch this season. Special guest celebrity Evander Holyfield went 8-6 on his picks this week. @GamedayJen squeaked out with a winner this week at 9-6. Everyone else was somewhere in the middle, so check out the full results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.

Week 8 2018: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on October 22, 2018 by gamedaycole

Welcome back everyone. We saw great football action on Saturday and great performances from our panel of expert pickers and prognosticators last week, so let’s dive right in.

Winners this week included Andrea Adelson (6-1), Stanford Steve (4-1 ATS, he’s on fire), Chris Doering (5-1), Pat Forde (4-1 ATS), Kirk Herbstreit (11-3), Lou Holtz (7-2), Paul Finebaul (7-2), Desmond Howard (11-5), Brett McMurphy (4-2 ATS), and Phil Steele (continuing to light it up at 14-7 ATS, 13-2 straight up). However, this week’s undisputed winner is none other than our own @GamedayJen who showed up with a huge performance on Saturday going 15-1 on her picks! Pretty impressive stuff compared to all these people who get paid to pick games for a living.

Losers this week include Pete Thamel (2-4 ATS), Jeff Ma (2-3 ATS), Rufus Peabody (2-3 ATS), Danny Kanell (3-4 ATS), your boy SVP (4-5 ATS), and Bruce Feldman (5-6 ATS). Nobody had an actual losing week picking straight up, but a notable performance was Mark May (5-4).

Coach Corso got back on track with the headgear pick going with Washington State over Oregon, and put up an impressive 13-2 week on the regular picks. Chris Fallica went 4-4 against the spread this week, but Bear’s Bank was 3-0 this week! Special guest celebrity Drew Bledsoe went 11-3 on the week, proving that he does indeed know more about football than the Chainsmokers.

Everyone else finished somewhere in the middle, so check out the full grades below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
