Week 1 2019: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in (corrected)

I posted grades last night and was quickly informed they contained a number of errors.  I wrote a new grading script in the offseason and forgot to account for one teeny tiny aspect of neutral site games and it blew things apart for week 1.  I think I’ve got the script fixed and here are the corrected grades.  If you find any other errors please make sure to roast me on social media as usual.

Week 1 2019: #CFB Picks w/ Stanford Steve and the Bear Chris Fallica!

Stanford Steve and the Bear put out their week 1 podcast with means all your favorite gambling coverage for this week.  Stanford Steve’s Wake Forest/Utah State over 59.5 was in the Big Mike Happy Recap at the end of the podcast, but I’m not sure if it was official because he kind of threw it on there at the last second.  I will grade his picks against his ESPN Chalk column for official records as always.

Also, the Bear gave out Nevada+10.5 on Daily Wager earlier this week, so that pick cannot be found in the podcast.

Bear’s Bank for week 1:

Listen to the full thing for all the juicy details and extra leans.
