Week 3 2018: #CFB ATS picks with Chris Fallica & Stanford Steve!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Here it is ladies and gents.  This is the moment you’ve all been waiting for.  The week 3 picks from Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica and Stanford Steve Coughlin are out.  This week’s podcast swerved a little bit and it was hard to keep track of which picks were official and which picks weren’t.  The Purdue pick for both guys may or may not be official, and I did my best to interpret their official picks, but take these picks for what they’re worth and use them at your own risk.  Lines have moved already but this should tell you where these two stand on the games.  As always, listen to the full podcast if you really need the details.

9/15/18 Pittsburgh+4.5 vs Georgia Tech
9/15/18 Army-6 was Hawaii
9/15/18 Louisiana-Monroe+27 vs Texas A&M

Week 2 2018: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Welcome back everyone.  It was a great weekend of college football with some great predictions, great results, and some not so great results.  Let’s dive right in.

Winners this week include Paul Finebaum (5-1), Andrea Adelson (13-4), Heather Dinich (4-0), and Mark Schlabach (4-0).  However, we are going to officially crown dual winners this week.  Stanford Steve and Pat Forde both went 5-1 ATS, with Stanford Steve going 6-0 straight up and Pat Forde going 5-0 straight up.  Congratulations to both.

Losers this week include Mark May (4-5), Phil Steele (5-5 straight up, 4-5 ATS), Desmond Howard (7-6), and Lou Holtz (5-4).  However, this week’s undisputed loser was your boy SVP who bombed it with a 1-6 record ATS on his WINNERS segment this week.  Tough break this weekend, but he will dig himself out by season end.

Coach Corso had a tough week going 7-5 on the week, but enjoyed a headgear pick with Clemson edging out the Aggies Saturday night.  Special guest picker Owen Gray went 6-5 on the week.  @GamedayJen went 8-6 on the week.  So lots of experts ended up above .500 but it was a tough slate to pick this week.  Everyone else is somewhere in the middle so check out the full slate below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
