Okay, things are starting to heat up. Some separation is staring to occur and we’re still wondering who gets to beat their chest and gloat over the battle for prediction supremacy with our contributors?
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. Also, we get our odds from BetMGM.
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 three, but first, the standings that will be updated each week after all the games … This of course being week three, there’s still a lot of room for an expert to emerge with investment advice.
