Just in time for the office bowl pool, Cade is/has/will be posting the complete list of our college bowl picks, in order of confidence. I figured I’d get in on the action and post our best picks against the point spread. We posted college football picks every week back in 2013 and 2014, but after noticing how much impact we had on the market, I vetoed the idea going forward, since it weakened our value against the spread in subsequent weeks. We want to make people smarter, but I also want to keep my day job. Not a concern for bowl games, since there aren’t future games to worry about. So I WILL be tracking these as official picks (whatever the hell that means) for our records.
