Week 7 2026: CFB gambling picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 7 of our college football season is in the books and the picks from our gamblers are graded. Let’s jump right in.

Big winners this week included Clay Travis at 9-4 and David Bearman at 4-0. Our biggest winner of the week was Collin Wilson at 13-7. Congratulations to Collin on a great winning week.

Other results of note:

Dan Katz AKA Barstool Big Cat was poised to have his third week of the season as the biggest winner until he added a slate of late games and also switched his Kentucky pick to Oklahoma. He ended up going like 0-6 on the late changes to ruin those hopes in hilarious fashion.

Scott Van Pelt’s WINNERS went 3-5-1 on the week. Stanford Steve went 3-0 on the board on College Gameday. Josh Pate went 4-8 on the Ramen Noodle Express. Super Dogs went 3-3 with Desmond, Saban and McAfee booking winners.

In the money line picks, Emory Hunt was the biggest winner with a profit of 1.98 units (on only one pick). Congratulations to Emory on the most profitable money line week of the group.

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