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 10 2016: #CFB picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 10 picks have been graded and it is time once again to review the results.

Winners this week included Desmond Howard (10-3), Andrea Adelson (6-1), Charles Arbuckle (14-5), Stanford Steve (5-0 straight up, 4-2 ATS), and Joey Galloway (6-1).  We had some strong straight up performances followed up by less-than-stellar results picking against the spread from some of the following:  Dusty Dvoracek (4-1 straight up, 2-3 ATS), Chris Fallica (5-1 straight up, 5-5 ATS), Bruce Feldman (10-2 straight up, 3-9 ATS), Pat Forde (3-1 straight up, 1-2 ATS), Danny Kanell (4-0 straight up, 0-3 ATS), and Phil Steele (26-5 straight up, 15-9-2 ATS).  Looks like Vegas won again this week picking ATS.  However, this week’s winner, and the winner of 5 of the last 7 weeks is once again @GamedayJen who booked an 11-3 week.  She is out for blood until ESPN agrees to bring her on as a special guest picker on College Gameday, and she continues to rack up the big wins this season.  She has won too much lately so I am out of prizes, thus she can look forward to some pads of sticky notes, a box of pens, and a stapler I swiped from work.

Losers this week were few and far between even though we had a lot of VERY average results.  Since none of our main competitors booked a losing week, we will take this opportunity to point out that Rece Davis continues to throw triple and quadruple NOT-SO-FASTS at us most weeks on a game or two, and his results have been shown why he is hte only one picking double-digit underdogs to win every week.  He thought Northwestern would pull it out against Wisconsin this week, but they failed to even cover just like most of his recent picks.  Sorry Rece, but the dunce cap is being shipped to your house as we speak.

Coach Corso missed another headgear pick this week going with LSU over Alabama.  However he is still winning on the year at 7-3 for his headgear picks.  Special guest picker Lil Wayne tied Frank Caliendo’s season-high record at 8-2 on the year, which is surprising considering how little effort Mr. Wayne put into his appearance.  He pretty much looked like he either just rolled out of bed or was headed to bed.  I guess it makes sense since Caliendo had such little meaningful input as well.

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