Rivalry week didn’t really do us any big favors, but we continue winning. I’ve now gone 8-0 the last 2 weeks on my NFL picks, both in the biggest games and in my gambling picks, so that’s definitely something.
Chris continues rolling in college football, hitting a winning week again, while I fell to 2-3 this go ’round. On the year, in all picks combined, I’m sitting at 95-82-8 while Chris is at 83-95-7. Still plenty of time over the NFL season and college bowl games to get back to even.
We waited until today to post because Chris had the Eagles -4 last night against the Packers, and we needed to see the results of that before we could give out our numbers. Here’s what we’re looking at:

7-on-7 Head-to-Head
In head to head on the biggest games of the weekend, I pulled a little further ahead by getting the Utah cover against Colorado. We pushed on the Alabama / Auburn game, and we picked every other game the exact same. Chris is now 19 games below .500, and it may be too far gone for him to come out of this hole… but he’s still got a shot – he just needs some really good weeks.

College Football gambling picks
Chris was able to lock up a winning week with Miss St’s win at Ole Miss on Saturday, and was hoping for a 4-1 week, until South Carolina got absolutely demolished. I felt pretty confident on my 2 Friday games, but Arkansas couldn’t score in the 2nd half against Missouri (still haven’t figured that one out) and Tulsa started giving away turnovers, which turned into a TON of Cincinnati points (the 2nd most points they’ve scored all season – they had scored 26 total points in the 4 games prior). Tulsa scored 40 and won in overtime.
| Gary | 35-28-2 | Chris | 32-21-1 |
| Arkansas @ Missou (over 75) | 0-1 | TCU +3.5 @ Texas | 1-0 |
| Cinci @ Tulsa (-23) | 0-2 | Miss St +8 @ Ole Miss | 2-0 |
| Navy (-7) @ SMU | 1-2 | S. Car +23.5 @ Clemson | 2-1 |
| S Carolina (+23.5) @ Clemson | 1-3 | LSU -6.5 @ Texas A&M | 3-1 |
| E Carolina @ Temple (-20.5) | 2-3 | Arkansas (-8) @ Missouri | 3-2 |
NFL gambling picks
In my NFL gambling picks, I’ve now won 4 straight games to go from 8-13-2 to 12-13-2, and I’ve got a chance to break .500 for the first time all season ( I started out Week 1 at 1-3-1) next week. Chris dropped both of his games (the Vikings in back-breaking fashion), which now puts him at 3-4 over his past 7 NFL picks.
| Gary | 12-13-2 | Chris | 16-20-2 |
| NFL: Titans (-4.5) @ Bears | 1-0 | NFL: Packers @ Eagles (-4) | 0-1 |
| NFL: Vikings @ Lions (-2.5) | 2-0 | NFL: Vikings (+2.5) @ Lions | 0-2 |
SEC Fantasy picks
I fought my way back to tie things up with Chris… winning 3 of the last 4 weeks for us to have our “Game 7” moment… and then let it get away from me in the last game. Bo Scarborough didn’t score a touchdown, but rushed for 90 yards. The difference maker was Alabama’s defense and special teams – while they gave up 12 points, Bama’s kicker hit 3 fg and 3 xp, which was 12 points right there. Only 1 interception, no scores, and only 1 sack, so the score would have been fine, except for the kicker. Arkansas’s kicker missed a field goal, and Arkansas could not score in the 2nd half – and they got only 1 turnover, and no scores from that. I’m still shocked about that. I figured Arkansas would have been able to slow down Mizzou, and that they would have thrown at least one touchdown to Keon Hatcher, which would have gotten me the win. But, alas, it was not to be. Congrats to Chris – the 2016 SEC Fantasy Champion!
