Results for ESPN Handicappers--Week 6

[TahoeLegend]

Stanford Steve got back on track, SVP was also above .500 for the week. Everyone but Bear is now above .500 for the year. Phil Steele would be leading the pack if he could resist his compulsion to pick D-III games and UMass every week except the one week they cover. All the Gameday crew is now at .500 or better for the year on the Super Dog picks

Joe Fortenbaugh—Season 11-13
Mich St/Rutgers o 50 Lose

34 points at HT, would've felt pretty good only needing 17 in the 2nd H. They got 10.

Sometimes I look more closely who people had after games than before. A couple UConns.

I used to follow people with picks to help build my card. Got wrapped up in service plays some 25 years ago. You almost have to blindly follow or just ignore because they are going to have a record and if you cherry pick the plays you like, nobody knows beforehand which ones are good or not...we used to play the ones we liked and not the ones we didn't. Makes it tough when they say they have a +$ record, but the picks you might've decided to follow on have a -$ record.

Games like that are what drive handicappers to drink. It's bad enough to lose a game because you make a completely moronic decision--like my bright idea that Texas Tech was worth putting money on--but it's maddening when you have a bet go like that one did for Fortenbaugh

Colin Cowherd has been below average for awhile now. Might need to fade him, or at least not following him.

Thanks for keeping track Tahoe.
