Okay, it’s time to kick off all the fun for our writers to see who gets to beat their chest and gloat over the battle for prediction supremacy. Last year, Brent Reeves took the title, but we still think he cheated in ways we may never know. Now, we’re ready to provide you with investment advice heading into 2019.
We’ll start by focusing on every Big Ten game both straight-up and against the spread early on, but as things get rockin’ to a full conference slate, we’ll also throw in our “pick six” biggest national games of the year.
A a reminder, if there’s an *next to the pick, that means the team will win, but not cover.
INSTRUCTIONS: Make your pick against the spread. For example …
– If you think Ohio State will win -3.5 over Michigan: OSU
– If you think Ohio State will win outright: OSU
– If you think Ohio State will win, but NOT cover: OSU*
– If there’s a tie, George Washington settles it via the ‘ole quarter coin-flip.
Here we go for week one, but first, the standings that will be updated each week after all the games … This of course being the first week, there’s a tie for first and last place.
