Week 10 2018: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Its time for the week 10 results from our expert panel of predictors and prognosticators.

Winners this week included Paul Finebaum (6-1), Pat Forde (5-1 ATS), Kirk Herbstreit (11-3), Mark May (7-2), Phil Steele (7-5), Brett McMurphy (6-1 ATS), Lou Holtz (8-1), Rufus Peabody (4-1 ATS), Danny Kanell (6-2 ATS), The Bear (5-2 ATS), Stanford Steve (4-2 ATS), and Rick Neuheisel (7-3).  However this week’s big win is going to go to Dusty Dvoracek at 5-0 against the spread on his picks this week.

Losers this week include Marcus Spears (2-3), Tim Cowlishaw (1-4 ATS), Scott Spreitzer (1-4 ATS), Stewart Mandel (3-8 ATS), Dave Portnoy (5-9 ATS), Dan Katz (5-9 ATS), and Bruce Feldman (5-6 ATS).  Cowlishaw and Spreitzer can share this week’s loss in my book.

Coach Corso had a great week at 12-2 on his picks, including winning his headgear pick Alabama over LSU.  Special guest celebrity Alex Bregman went 7-6 on his picks this week, but I honestly would have guessed he did worse based on how many games he faded the Gameday crew.  @GamedayJen was near the top this week at 14-3, continuing her dominance this season.  The Bear went 1-2 on the week but still posted a winning week at 5-2 overall against the spread.  Everyone else is somewhere in between, so check out the full grades below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.

Week 10 2018: #CFB Picks w/ Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica & Stanford Steve!

Good evening everyone.  I hope you’re having a wonderful Halloween night.  I just finished up with the Stanford Steve & The Bear podcast and here’s the picks as I understood them.  The gentlemen threw around a LOT of games where they were on the fence about whether to give them out or not.  It was difficult to tell whether some were official or not.  Stanford Steve never gives out this many official picks, so some of these are probably not official in regards to his ESPN Chalk column.  Please listen to the podcast yourself if you’re looking to invest in these picks to be sure.  Anyways, here’s the picks.

Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica:

Date Pick
11/3/18 UNLV + 25.5 vs Fresno State
11/3/18 Louisiana Tech + 23.5 vs Mississippi State
11/3/18 Missouri + 6 vs Florida
11/3/18 Texas Tech + 13.5 vs Oklahoma
11/3/18 Baylor + 8 vs Oklahoma State
11/3/18 Michigan  -10.5 vs Penn State

Stanford Steve:

Date Pick
11/3/18 Tulsa vs Connecticut Over 59
11/3/18 Iowa State  -14.5 vs Kansas
11/3/18 East Carolina vs Memphis Over 64.5
11/3/18 Navy + 13.5 vs Cincinnati
11/3/18 Ohio State  -17.5 vs Nebraska
