Week 6 2018: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Good evening college football fans.  We are back with the results from all of our expert pickers and prognosticators for week 6 of our 2018 college football season.

Winners this week included David Pollack (4-0), Stanford Steve (4-1 straight up, 4-0-1 ATS), Andrea Adelson (6-3), and Scott Spreitzer (2-1 ATS).  You’re probably wondering how Stanford Steve didn’t win this week, but we had a pretty incredible performance this week.  Phil Steele got off to a rough start on the year, but he absolutely blew the door off of the picks this week.  Phil went 9-3 straight up, but it was his 14-2 record against the spread this week which earns him the top spot.  Congratulations to Phil Steele on a huge week.

Losers this week included Gene Chizik (2-4), Ryan McGee (1-3), Ivan Maisel (1-3), and Rufus Peabody (2-3 ATS), Jeff Ma (2-3 ATS).  However this week’s loss is going to Bruce Feldman, who had a 7-4 week straight up but went 4-7 against the spread.

Lee Corso went 7-6 on his picks this week, including a loss on the Oklahoma headgear pick.  Special guest celebrity Toby Keith also went 7-6 on the week.  Bear’s Bank had a tough week going 0-3 on the Gameday picks. @GamedaJen booked another winner at 9-6 on the week.

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