Week 6 2016: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

After a long holiday weekend we are back up and running with your week 6 picks and predictions graded for all to see.

Winners this week included Lee Corso (7-3), Andrea Adelson (5-2), Charles Arbuckle (12-5), Chris Doering (4-1), Chris Fallica (7-1 straight up, 8-2 ATS), Paul Finebaul (5-0), Joey Galloway (6-1), Danny Kanell (7-0 straight up, 1-1-1 ATS), Booger McFarland (5-2), Marcus Spears (5-0), Phil Steele (19-4 straight up, 12-7-1 ATS), and Tim Tebow (4-1).  Our biggest winner on the week is newcomer Dusty Dvoracek who went 4-0 straight up and 5-1 against the spread!  Congratulations Dusty, the congratulatory cookie bouquet is on the way.

Losers this week included Stanford Steve, who went 3-3 straight up and 3-4 against the spread.  However we will have to give the official loss to your boy SVP who went 2-4 against the spread on Winners last week.

Corso is back on track this week picking Texas A&M to beat Tennessee for his headgear pick.  The special guest celebrity pickers known as the Chain Smokers went 4-5 on the week, basically following Desmond Howard’s picks and showing little interest in College Gameday or sports as a whole.  Jennifer’s two week streak as weekly champion came to an end this week but she still booked a winner at 8-5.

Week 3 2016: College football picks are graded; results are in! #CFB #CFBPicks

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 3 results are in and picks have been graded.  This proved to be a tough week for many of our expert analysts and prognosticators; especially those picking against the spread.

Winners this week include a nice 7-2 for Lee Corso, David Pollack (4-1), Andrea Adelson (8-4), Charles Arbuckle (14-6), Mack Brown (4-1), Chris Doering (4-1), Dusty Dvoracek (3-0 straight up, 4-1 ATS), Pat Forde (21-9 straight up, 4-1-1 ATS), Joey Galloway (5-2), Greg McElroy (6-1), Booger McFarland (4-1), and Marcus Spears (5-0).  Our official win this week goes to Desmond Howard who booked a nice 8-2 week so Desmond if you are reading this, you can expect a nice gift certificate to the GamedayCole.com online store in the mail.

Losers this week include another tough week for the Bear as he went 5-3 straight up and 5-6 ATS.  Paul Finebaum and Mark May had mediocre weeks at 3-2.  Danny Kanell went 4-3 straight up but 0-3 ATS.  His parter Ryen Russillo went 2-4 straight up, and 0-3 ATS.  Matt Leinart went 0-3 on the week.  However this week’s dunce cap is going to have to go to Dari Nowkhah, who decided the time was ripe to pick upsets and went 2-4 straight up and 1-2-1 ATS.

Coach Corso got back on track with the headgear picks choosing Louisville to upset FSU.  Special guest celebrity Laila Ali went 5-4 on the week.  @GamedayJen booked another winner at 9-4 on the week, while @TheGamedayBaby went 1-0 on the week.

Week 2 2016: College football picks are graded; results are in! #CFB #CFBPlayoff

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 2 had a schedule that not many were excited about, but some of us around here know that the sleepy schedules can sometimes bring great games and upsets.  We saw a huge upset in Central Michigan taking down Oklahoma State due to an incorrect call on the last play.  The NCAA has said they aren’t overturning it, so neither are we.  That being said, let’s dive right in.

Winners this week include Lee Corso (9-1), Marcus Spears (5-0), Andrea Adelson (10-2), Charles Arbuckle (9-3), Chris Doering (4-1), Danny Kanell (3-0 SU, 2-0 ATS), and Greg McElroy (4-1).  This week’s official winner is none other than last year’s champion Phil Steele, who brought in a 9-2 record straight up and went 7-2 against the spread!  Congratulations Phil, the fruit basket is on the way.

Losers this week include Kirk Herbstreit (5-6) and Pat Forde (3-1 straight up, but 0-4 ATS).  Unfortunately this week’s loss is going to have to go to one of last week’s winners.  Scott Van Pelt started off hot last week but fell back down to earth this week going 1-4 against the spread on his WINNER$ segment.  Sorry SVP, the dunce hat is being shipped your way this week.

Lee Corso got things back on track this week winning his headgear pick of Tennessee over Virginia Tech.  Special guest celebrity Dale Earnhardt Jr. went 5-5 on the week after I gave him props for being a knowledgeable guest picker.  Jennifer booked a nice win at 11-4 on the week, while @TheGamedayBaby also booked a win with Tennessee over VT.
