He has no idea what he's doing. I can't believe he's hit 52%
 
I agree about SVP. He appears to have a genuine love of handicapping and talks about it on his show all the time--more than any other talking head on ESPN--but doesn't take himself seriously as a handicapper and seems to do it as a lark instead of trying to make serious picks.

I almost didn't include him among the pickers this year, but he kept posting winners at a better rate than a lot of touts who DO take themselves seriously. And he's been in the black all year until last week so maybe he's a better picker than I first thought.

I won't be risking any money on his picks though.
 
Thanks, Cogenman, but I feel snakebit the last few games. Three losses by 2 points incuding two kneeldowns inside the five, then tonight SMU having four fumbles inside the 20, going for it on 4th and 8 on their own 18 and failing, a TD called back and a missed chip shot FG. Got several I like this weekend though that might bring my luck back.
Adding
(One Unit)
Baylor pick
Temple -13
Lean to Mich State and the under (winds 20-30, wind chill 15 degrees), Kansas State, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Wyoming, Cincinnati, Washington State and Oregon. Liked Minnesota a lot, but that line may have gotten away from me. I'll wait for all those tomorrow when I can check the weather and see which QBs are playing. I doubt I bet them all, but I like them all enough to bet them if things work out.
 
Added three games, plus another unit on Baylor. Still like Minnesota but that line moved too far the wrong way. Like several more games listed above. but don't feel like playing them for now.
(One Unit)
Michigan State +1x
Oklahoma State +6x
Wyoming -2
Baylor pick
 
Time to stop the bleeding. Not my week. Wyoming QB hurt on the first drive, Okla State's best RB aggravated injury in warmup. I can take a hint.
 
The tide finally turned. I think I got a gift in the Wyoming game. They were up one point with a little over one minute left and ran the ball instead of taking a knee. The guy broke through and ran it in from about 30 yards out, but there was a flag and I thought I heard a ref say it was for holding. I was sure it was against Wyoming, but I clicked over to the Oklahoma Stater game for one play then clicked back and Wyoming was kicking an extra point.

I don't think the refs would call holding on the D on a running play. I never did hear an explanation, but a win is a win, especially when you are having a bad day.

If anyone saw what happened let me know.

Added one total:
UCF/Cincinnati over 60x
