Welcome back everyone. Week 5 is in the books and what a week it was. We had big winners all over the place and it was a tight race to the finish, so let’s get right to it.
Winners this week include Kirk Herbstreit (8-2 straight up, 0-1 ATS), Desmond Howard (11-2 straight up, 1-0 ATS), David Pollack (5-1), Andrea Adelson (8-0), Chris Doering (8-0), and Bruce Feldman (10-1). So who exactly topped these records? PHIL STEELE, COME ON DOWN!!! Phil self-admittedly started off the season with a pretty rough start, but this week he blew the field out of the water going 19-1 straight up and 15-4 AGAINST THE SPREAD! Congratulations Phil, we think we’ll give you both showcases from the showcase showdown for this performance!
We had a few losers this week. Stanford Steve went 2-3 straight up, 2-3 ATS, and 0-3 on the moneyline. Dusty Dvoracek went 1-4 ATS. The Bear went 7-2 straight up, but 4-8 ATS and 0-2 on the moneyline. Rufus Peabody went 1-3 on the week, joining us late this season since I didn’t know he had a podcast this year. I guess we give this week’s loss to Dusty Dvoracek for a tough week picking against the spread.
Coach Corso booked a winner at 11-1 straight up, 1-0 against the spread, and nailed his headgear pick this week. Almost any other week, that is good enough for a win around here. The same could be said for @GamedayJen who went 10-2 this week declaring she is a force to be reckoned with. Special guest celebrity Bruce Smith went 7-3 with a nice win as well. Everyone else is somewhere in between so check it all out below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week!
