Week 9 2020: #CFB Picks from Stanford Steve & The Bear!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Here are the week 9 picks from the Stanford Steve & The Bear podcast.

I always recommend you listen to the full podcast, but that goes double for this week. They talked a TON of games and had a TON of opinions on games but didn’t specifically pick any games for sure. I listed the games they “like”, but nothing seemed like a sure bet this week. Listen to the podcast yourself if you need to know more opinions and leans.

DISCLAIMER: The following are the unofficial week 9 picks as presented in the Stanford Steve & The Bear podcast, and if you need the specifics you’ll need to listen to the podcast.  These are not their official picks.  Their official picks are found on ESPN Chalk every Thursday morning.

Stanford Steve:
Georgia-13 vs Kentucky
Maryland vs Minnesota over 61ish (didn’t give a line)
Rice+1.5ish vs Southern Miss (didn’t give a line)
Michigan State+24.5 vs Michigan
Georgia State+2.5 vs Coastal Carolina
Northwestern+2.5 vs Iowa
Iowa State-28.5 vs Kansas
Rutgers+12 vs Indiana

Chris “The Bear” Fallica:
West Virginia-3.5 vs Kansas State
Northwestern+2.5 vs Iowa
Virginia+7 vs North Carolina
