The volume of games in the Week 10 picks went up to 9 from just 6 for Week 9. The elite 69.4% accuracy in Week 9 was still nearly matched with the staff going an aggregate 37-17 for a 68.5% success rate. The best mark for the week goes to Cole at a fantastic 8-1. He had CDA and Import nipping at his heels at 7-2. Tom and I stayed above .500 at 6-3 and 5-4, respectively. Andrew and you miscreants were just a tick below even at 4-5.
All three games that were picked unanimously were nailed, so that was
a big boost. Two of the three games split 5 to 1 also went to the good. Kentucky not staying within a TD of Tennessee was the miss there. The Commentariat did go against the majority in the two games the staff got right while siding with us on Kentucky.
This week is another full slate of 8 SEC-SEC games and 1 ACC-ACC game. We did not all agree on any games this week, mostly because Cole will always choose Vanderbilt to cover. Tom also decided to go out on a limb by thinking Mississippi State can at least stay within a FG of Auburn. He also is the only one with any faith in Arkansas not getting beaten comfortably by South Carolina. Beyond those 3 5-to-1 splits, there is a majority in 5 more games. Only Tennessee as a 2.5-point favorite over Texas A&M was chosen evenly.
The Rules
- Normally, the picks are for all SEC games with one dealer’s choice where I get to choose another game to make us pick.
- The picks will be made AGAINST THE SPREAD. Too many games are easy to pick heads up. Also, this will serve as a PSA for why you should not get into sports gambling, which is especially important with sports gambling being legal in Tennessee now.
- The lines will be taken from FanDuel, who SB Nation has partnered with this season, some time Monday, so they may not match what is listed at the time this article is published. I may also use a backup for FBS-FCS matchups if the line is available elsewhere when I get the spreads.
