Week 8 2023: CFB gambling picks are graded; results are in!

Week 8 of our college football season is in the books and the picks from our gamblers are graded. Let’s jump right in.

Winners this week include Bud Elliott at 7-3, Phil Steele at 4-1, Kelly Stewart at 4-1, Rico Bosco at 6-3, Emory Hunt at 7-4, and Wes Reynolds at 7-4-1. However this week’s big winner was Barrett Sallee going 11-6 on his picks on cbssports.com. Congratulations to Barrett on this week’s win.

Our money line winner this week was Bud Elliott for a profit of 5.65 units. Danny Sprinkles AKA Danny Kanell continues to put up wins with a profit of 2.1 units this week.

I have heard from a lot people hating on Stanford Steve’s record on the College Gameday fridge recently. I don’t usually do this but I feel the need to say some things.

  1. I don’t know Stanford Steve. I have no affiliation with Stanford Steve, College Gameday or ESPN.
  2. Gamblers have hot streaks. Gamblers have cold streaks. It is unavoidable.
  3. His record on the fridge may be bad so far (12-21-2, 26.36%), but his overall record this season from what I have tracked is 65-56-5 (53.72%) which means he is still profitable. If you’re only paying attention to the fridge you’re missing out.
  4. His record dating back to 2014 is 465-357-22 (56.57%). He has absolutely crushed it for almost a full decade and you’re hating on a subset of his picks over a subset of weeks. His long term win rate is second to none in my database.
  5. Nobody is forcing you to bet his fridge picks. Nobody is forcing you to watch him.

With that being said, everyone else is in this mix below so check out the full slate of results to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
