Week 13 2016: #RivalryWeek picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Rivalry week lived up to the hype with some great games, some surprising upsets, and some impressive results from our expert panel of pickers and prognosticators.

Winners this week included Kirk Herbstreit (7-2), Desmond Howard (7-3), Andrea Adelson (7-2), Skip Bayless (6-1), Stanford Steve (4-2 straight up, 5-1 ATS), Bruce Feldman (8-3 straight up, 8-3 ATS), Pat Forde (21-9 straight up, 1-2 ATS), and Booger McFarland (5-2).  This week’s official win may end up being one of our most controversial wins of all time.  Lee Corso went 9-1 on the week which is good enough for a win most weeks.  Phil Steele went 19-5 straight up and 17-8-1 against the spread, which would almost certainly be a win any other week.  However, we had something special happen Saturday which has to be properly credited.  Marcus spears went 7-0 on the week, which is a really nice week but not anything too crazy until you look at his picks.

Marcus Spears: 7-0
RIGHT GT over Georgia
RIGHT Kentucky over Louisville
RIGHT Clemson over S.Carolina
RIGHT Miss St over Ole Miss
RIGHT Vanderbilt over Tennessee
RIGHT FSU over Florida
RIGHT Alabama over Auburn

Marcus Spears went on SEC Nation Saturday morning and called for FOUR outright upsets amongst his seven picks, going with Georgia Tech over Georgia, Kentucky over Louisville, Miss St oveR Ole Miss, and Vanderbilt over Tennessee.  Those teams were a combined 45 point underdog to their opponents and he decided they’d probably just go win outright.  I don’t remember the last time I woke up and thought to myself “you know, Kentucky is a 24 point dog to Louisville, and Louisville has the leading Heisman candidate, but I’ve got a really good feeling about this Kentucky team”.  So for that reason we have to give this week’s win to Marcus Spears for overcoming tremendous odds on his way to a 7-0 week.

Losers this week included Tim Tebow and Chris Doering dropped a nice 2-5 record on the week picking SEC games.  Scott Van Pelt’s Winners continue to slide at another 2-3 week against the spread.  But since the SEC Network experts both went 2-5 picking SEC games, let’s give them a split loss on the week.

Coach Corso is continuing a great season picking headgear, going with Ohio State over Michigan.  Special guest celebrity Orlando Pace went 7-3 on the week, with another great performance from someone who cares about football.  @GamedayJen booked another winner at 9-5, and the race for the season victory continues to tighten.  Jen is at 73.91% on the season, with Phil Steele right on her tail at 73.81% on the season, with those two being our top two competitors on the season as of today.

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.

Week 12 2016: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 12 has come to a close and things made a lot more sense picking games this week than they did last week.  Sitting around watching games yesterday I thought we were headed for some bad results but I was pleasantly surprised when I got down to business and started grading picks.

Winners this week had some really great performances, and it was hard to select the official week 12 winner.  Lee Corso went 10-4 on the week.  Kirk Herbstreit went 11-2.  Desmond Howard went 12-3.  Andrea Adelson went 7-2.  Bruce Feldman went 7-3 straight up, 7-3 ATS.  Dari Nowkhah went 4-0.  However, edging out Kirk Herbstreit on the week was week 11 winner Phil Steele, who posted a 22-6 record straight up and 19-13 record against the spread.  He started slow this season but is making a serious surge in the rankings as we head towards bowl season.  Congrats Phil!  I’ve got a case of diet Mount Dew headed your way.

Losers this week included David Pollack (1-3) and Danny Kanell (2-3 straight up, 0-3 ATS), but this week’s loss will go to Kanell’s radio partner Ryen Russillo who managed to go 0-1 straight up and 0-3 ATS.

Other highlights on the week include Coach Corso getting back on track with his headgear pick this week.  He rowed the boat and it worked out big time to snap his small losing streak.  @GamedayJen was right on the cusp of another victory at 12-4 on the week, and she continues to hold off challengers for the season championship as we near the end.  Special guest celebrity Greg Jennings went 8-2 on the week.  Someone at Gameday must read my blog because they actually had a celebrity guest who seemed engaged in the show as well as had even the slightest care about the sport of football for once.  Let’s hope next week we can continue with a top-notch celebrity guest picker, but I’m sure it will probably be a pop musician who doesn’t watch football but employs a roadie who went to Michigan for a semester.

Everyone else is somewhere in between on the week so check out the full slate of results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
