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 8 2016: #CFB picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 8 is in the books, and while we had some top notch performances from a few of our pickers, things are looking rough for some.  However, there’s a lot of football left to be played, and a lot of games left to be picked.  Let’s get right into the results from this week.

Winners included Lee Corso (8-3), Kirk Herbstreit (10-2), Paul finebaum (4-0), Charles Arbuckle (14-3), Booger McFarland (4-1), and Mark Schlabach (4-1).  Our official win this week will be split between Desmond Howard and Jennifer, who came in at 12-2 on the week.  Jennifer continues to run up the score, winning outright 3 times in the last 5 weeks, with a split victory this week.  Congrats to Desmond and Jennifer, and they can expect that celebratory box of cigars in the mail sometime soon.

Losers this week included Stanford Steve, who went 4-3 straight up but 3-6-1 against the spread.  Chris Fallica went 4-5 straight up, but 6-7-2 against the spread.  Bruce Feldman went 6-4 straight up, but 4-6 against the spread.  Phil Steele went 14-12 straight up, but 9-15-1 against the spread.  You might notice a trend here.  Sounds like this is a tough year for picking games against the spread.  Rather than issue a loss this week, I’ll just declare that Vegas also won this week.

Corso got another headgear pick right.  I know it wasn’t going out on a limb to pick a 19 point favorite playing at home, but last year he would have lost this kind of game somehow.  Guest picker Verne Lundquist went an unfortunate 3-5 on the week, so if we had to pin a loss on someone we’d give it to him actually.  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.
