2021-22 Season: Full season grades are finalized! Results are in!
The 2021-22 season is in the books and the picks have been graded. It is now time to crown our yearly champions. We will be crowning two champions again this year; one champion being analysts picking games straight up and the other champion being our gambling champion. Our analyst champion will be graded on our experimental GDC grading system for the first time ever.
Without further adieu, I present to you our analyst champion for the 2021-22 season: Dennis Dodd from CBS Sports went 226-81 straight up for a percentage of 73.62% with a GDC value of 127.083! Runners up were Tom Fornelli (111.37 GDC) and Chip Patterson (100.883 GDC). That’s an all CBS Sports podium for the first time ever.
Our gambling champion for the 2021-22 season is Bud Elliott of 247 and Cover 3 podcast fame. He went 272-198-9 on the season for a win percentage of 57.87%! Several others had a higher win rate, but assuming -110 lines on average Bud Elliott absolutely crushed the competition for 49.28 units of profit this season.
Honorable mention goes to Kelly Stewart for winning our money line picks this year. She was up 25.14 units over 41 picks on the year.
Congratulations to all competitors. I hope you’ll all be back next season

Week 14 2021: CFB Gambling picks are graded; results are in!
Week 14 is in the books and the picks from our expert panel of gamblers has been graded. Picks against the spread are graded up top and money line picks are graded at the bottom. Let’s dive right in.
Bear’s Board went 3-0 on the week with Fallica going 7-2 against the spread. That makes him our official winner on the week. Scott Van Pelt’s Winners went 5-1 on the week. Phil Steele’s picks on the Phil Steele Plus tour on Youtube went 2-1. Joey Galloway’s non-Virtual-Locks on his podcast went 4-2 on the week. Other winners include Danny Kanell (13-8), Dennis Dodd (7-3) and Pete Thamel (4-1).
As for money line sprinkles, the Bear won the sprinkles this week with a profit of 5.15 units (assuming one unit plays on each bet). That makes him the first official ATS and money line combined winner of the week I think. Congratulations to the Bear on a wonderful week.
Everyone else is somewhere in the middle so check out the full slate of results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
