It’s the third season of NX Pics (combined Crick’s picks and official Sportspicks)!
Attached is last years summary.
Based on precious year’s results, my NCAAF rules for NX picks:
1. Remove disagreed upon picks
2. Combine agreed upon picks
3. No middle week day games
4. Bowl week - skip the first week
5. Parlay beginning of the season longshots
6. Don’t bet against Beamer
I’m going to add an alt line for agreed upon pics this year and see how it goes.
Week 1 of NX NCAAF Picks:
Ohio State -1.5 (+101) vs Texas / 12:00 PM EST
NORTHWESTERN +4.5 Tulane (ok to +4)
SYR +13.5 TN (ok to +13)
BALLST +17.5 Purdue (ok to +17)
NEVADA +43.5 Penn State (ok to +42)
LSU +3.5 (-108) @ Clemson / 7:30 PM EST
RICE +10.5 Louisiana (ok to +10)
UCLA +6.5 Utah (ok to +6 )11:00 pm
Utah/UCLA UNDER 51.5 (-108) / 11:00 PM EST
UNC +3.5 TCU (ok to +3)
Fun alt line agreed upon (1% each)
Ohio State -13.5 (+407) vs Texas / 12:00 PM EST
LSU -6.5 (+321) @ Clemson / 7:30 PM EST
Good luck!
