Ok! We’re back on the winning side in college football this week! Hooray!
Not a great week, but 36-33 just about covers the vig. Matt and Danny returned to their winning ways while Andy and Al were each a single game under .500 in our ceaseless efforts to get back to the right side of .500. I’ll take it.
Since week 4, I’ve been an even .500 every week, or one game on either side of it. 30-29. WARNING!!! Do not tail my picks! Do not fade my picks! There is no point in me giving them out! Despite my best efforts, I am a coin flip. Enough sulking though.
Let’s get into some picks!
Consensus Picks
A reminder that there is football every day of the week for the next two months, so apologies in advance if some of these games have already been played by the time you read this.
